Notes From an Old-Fashioned Man in the Modern World. Falling into the Season. The following is the text from a recent column published in Small Town Living. As the seasons outside were changing, and the people back home were switching junk, our twoyear-old daughter came into the kitchen one morning to make an announcement. Grrr, she said, one hand tensed into a claw. I am the big bad wolf. My daughter, a look of confusion on her face, said, What? He chases them down, I said, giving chase. I watched her w...

Notes From an Old-Fashioned Man in the Modern World. July 6, 2009. When I, the devoted husband, answered the phone and heard a hint of panic in the Mrs.’ voice, I was willing to go anywhere to help. I imagined myself called to a scene of imminent danger, one plagued by violence, to counter the effects of crime or accident. I steeled myself for a journey to the emergency room or an overgrown ditch beside some forgotten road. Still, what I heard surprised me. As we headed to the car, I said to the clerk, A...

The Bovina Bloviator: Why won't this man just go away?
http://bovinabloviator.blogspot.com/2013/03/will-no-one-rid-us-of-this-turbulent.html
Saturday, March 16, 2013. Why won't this man just go away? Cardinal Mahony bravely mocks. The previous pope, who no longer has power over him. That's rich (in two senses) coming from someone who spent $250 million to build the ugliest church in Christendom. Instead of sniping at Benedict XVI why isn't His Eminence giving copious and continual thanks to almighty God he isn't tweeting from a jail cell. And shutting the hell up the rest of the time? The man is a disgrace. John J. O'Sullivan™.

Friday, February 01, 2013. Wonder of wonders, a bishop acting like a bishop. This is how the Church should have dealt with this scandal from the beginning (from Catholic Culture. Archbishop Gomez relieves Cardinal Mahony of duties; Bishop Curry steps down. Immediately complying with a judge’s order, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has released the personnel files of 87 clergy accused of sexual abuse and has posted the files online. 8220;We need to acknowledge that terrible failure today,” Archbishop...

The Bovina Bloviator: Going gentle into the good night
http://bovinabloviator.blogspot.com/2013/04/going-gentle-into-good-night.html
Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Going gentle into the good night. Benedict XVI is fading. My decision to embrace Catholicism was based on many things and resulted after much discernment. Nevertheless, it was the election of Joseph Ratzinger to the papacy, and my subsequently learning of him and his writings, that provided me with that gentle but necessary final push toward Rome. Thanks be to God and his noble servant Benedict. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Let Nothing You Dismay.
