    18 indicted in Arizona, along with one "unindicted co-conspirator."

    Election timing. There will be more of these in the next few months as political theater. It's never been anything but political theater. I wish we had one good candidate to vote for in the upcoming election. Actually we do, but most people have locked themselves into Tweedle Dee or Tweedle...

    Several diocese reported 30%, 40%, 50%, and even 70% more adult converts who entered the Church this Easter

    My old parish had 24/7/52 perpetual adoration. And then Covid hit and ended it. They got it going again though. My new parish had the same but it has only come back as Tuesday morning to Friday evening. They are trying to add Mondays. When I'm traveling and I want to find a good parish to...

    Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins Meets Pope Francis, Follows Microsoft and IBM in Signing Vatican’s ‘Rome Call for AI Ethics’

    AI is absolutely revolutionary. It will change everything. AI is a money maker for these tech guys. If they are agreeing with the Vatican I am not reassured. Especially with the reformulated Pontifical Academy for Life. Sorry. Skeptical.

    Several diocese reported 30%, 40%, 50%, and even 70% more adult converts who entered the Church this Easter

    I think it is a ‘sign of the times’ where we see evidence of God bringing in those in need after the wedding invitations went out to those others who showed they were not interested. Even this troubled Catholic Church is still the place where the Kingdom subsists, and wise men and women through...

    Are those who paid it off particularly pleased that others are getting their debts paid off by the government?

    Want your student loans paid off?

    No need. Cross the Rio Grande and get a driver's license and vote for Biden. Vote early and often. It's a thing. Actually in most states there is no need for the driver's license to vote.

    First Religious Charter School Sparks Legal, Philosophical Battles

    The history of 'public' schools was always to deny funding to Catholic schools. Back when schools were community based there were no hard and fast rules about banning religion from these schools. When funding went from community to public there were no rules banning religion from these schools...

    What are the differences between Amish, Hutterite and Bruderhof?

    Anyhow, enough of this (interesting) diversion. I'd like to hear the comparison between Hutterite and Bruderhof and Amish on everything else.

    Transgender Activist and Influencer Dylan Mulvaney to Speak at Catholic St. Louis University

    St. Louis University is a Jesuit institution. Not as bad as some other Jesuit institutions.

    What are the differences between Amish, Hutterite and Bruderhof?

    Well, and the Catholics. And the Bruderhof. Don't know about the Amish or Hutterites. I've never heard one way or the other. I knew among the Lutherans that Larry and Nordis Christenson were solidly against contraception. Before I discovered the Bruderhof exception and the Larry and Nordis...

    Why are we not really really disgusted by some of our sins ?

    Most of us are habituated to sin, and blinded by it. We don't give a rip about being holy. Those few who are on the path of holiness ARE disgusted by their own sinfulness. The rest of us are 'comfortable'. But shouldn't be.

    Why are we not really really disgusted by some of our sins ?

    Two things. First, sin makes you stupid. Not just you, but every sinner. Second, among those actually becoming holy, they have an increasing revulsion toward sin, and even toward small sins. They 'feel' like they are sinning more and are worse sinners than they were before. They do not want...

    The Democratic party desperately wants Trump to be the nominee

    I'm going to have to ask you to go back a few cycles and read about what iluvatar5150 was saying about 1860 when your party DID start a civil war because Lincoln won. Yes, that was a long time ago, but you can either blow it off or own it. Your not getting what iluvatar5150 and I were referring...

    Didache Bible

    The DR is venerable but suffers from the same things the KJV suffers from. Basically we no longer speak and write and think in that kind of English any more. So it misleads us. The DR was replaced by the Challoner and then the Confraternity before the US Catholic bishops authorized a translation...

    The Democratic party desperately wants Trump to be the nominee

    For every Idaho wannabe you have a Weather Underground wannabe. The political violence in my city has been from the Left. I think the probabilities are close to even nationally but leftward where I am and leftward in most big cities.
