I just learned about The Catholic Media Association and, after looking over their information, I’ve become a Charter member. I thought this might be something you would like to investigate as well. Here is a letter they sent me as well as the link to their website: Dear Fellow Communicator, In his recent visit to the United States, [...]

The Gospel of John, a commentary by Francis J. Moloney, S.D.B. in the Sacra Pagina series. Also, a much older commentary on St John by Cornelius a Lapide. Finally, The Genius of John: A Composition-Critical Commentary on the Forth Gospel. I’m working my way through them very slowly. I’m also continuing to work my way [...]

From reading my previous posts, one would get the impression that my opinion that today’s society, as a whole, may be beyond redemption. Guess what… YOU ARE CORRECT!!!!

(Actually, I’m pretty sure it isn’t my fault - but anyway…) When he returned from Europe, he was surprised by all the negative email as regards his personal positions on gay people. As a result, he is thinking of deleting his blog. NO, no, no Amy Winehouse! [...]
