Oh yeah..


...and Patrick Madrid is funny.

He posted this wonderful joke on his blog today:

An old Catholic priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had
faithfully served the people of the nation's capital, Washington, D.C.He
motioned for his nurse to come near."Yes, Father?" said the nurse."I would
really like to see Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi before I die," whispered the
priest."I'll see what I can do, Father," replied the nurse.The nurse sent the
request to them and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived. Harry and
Nancy would be delighted to visit the priest. As they went to the hospital,
Harry commented to Nancy "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but
it will certainly help our images." Nancy couldn't help but agree.When they
arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Nancy 's hand in his right hand
and Harry's hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the
old priest's face.Finally Nancy spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have
chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"The old priest
slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ." His voice trailed off . . .After a pause, he continued . . . "The
Lord died between two lying thieves, and I would like to do the same." {source}

Pelosi, Pope, Personhood

I've been sick all week and haven't really had the chance to blog until now - and boy, did I miss a great week!

1) Nancy Pelosi gets to meet the Pope?!?

My first issue with this is the fact that I don't get to meet the Pope and Pelosi does. The Pope tried to convince Pelosi that the Church teaches killing babies is wrong...but it seems the message fell on deaf ears. Pelosi is convinced that she knows more about Catholic doctrine than the Pope, apparently. At least she's heard about the evil of abortion from the Pope himself. Maybe it will sink in later?

Does Pelosi even count as a Catholic anymore??

2) Apparently, she does.

The Archbishop of her home parish in San Francisco as been trying to meet with Pelosi for quite some time. One of the reasons her Pope visit was so initially irksome concerned her statements about being too busy to meet with her own bishop. Of course, even if I were too busy to meet with Alfie over in New Orleans - I would cancel EVERYTHING to meet His Holyness. No doubt about that.

Of course, those reports are all wrong. Pelosi has in fact met with her Archbishop...and the meeting has been spectacularly analyzed over at American Papist.

3) My favorite thing in the world is happening over in North Dakota.

Babies are people too! And finally a state in the union is recognizing this (obvious) fact in law. At least, their House of Representatives is - the Senate votes on the matter in a few weeks. 15 other states are in the process of pursuing similar legislation.

My hope for this week is the passage of this law in North Dakota and in other states. It is essential to the pro-life cause. It will change the abortion debate forever. Please remember to pray for those voting and for those whose lives depend on those votes.

Canon Law Rules!

What do John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi have in common?

Many, many things.

First of all they are all Democrats, which is not a sin (yet), and they all support pro-choice and pro-abortion policies. And another thing, they are all Catholic.

According to Archbishop Raymond Burke, there is yet another thing that have in common:

They are all breaking Canon Law by recieving the Eucharist.

LifeSiteNews.com has the entire story and an exclusive interview with Archbishop Burke.

His comments bring a lot of light onto the "contraversial" subject of denying certain people the Eucharist. Seeing as it is an absolute Canon Law, I have no problem with it. These politicians are not only harming themselves with this sacrilege, but they are also sending a message to American Catholics that it is ok to be pro-choice and a good Catholic. Sorry guys, but that just isn't the case. The popular bumpersticker has it right: you CAN'T be pro-choice AND Catholic.

Pick one.
