Prolife Pilgrimage Part 3 - Friendship!
Prolife Pilgrimage Part 3 - FRIENDSHIP! (See part 1 here and part 2 here!) Day 9 - On to Ohio I went to Mass at the exquisite chapel of the Precious Blood for the last time this morning. It’s been lovely to be able to get there each day, with Mass said by Monsignor. I had my last breakfast with Sr. Precious and helped her figure out a couple of things on her new phone before packing and awaiting my ride to the airport....
Pro-Life Pilgrimage Part Two - Formation!
Pro-life Pilgrimage Part Two - Formation! (See part 1 here and part 3 here!) Day 5 Leaving Mexico for New York Everything sparkles in Mexico; the signs, the souvenirs of Mary and the Divino Nino, the Christmas tree lights blink at a seizure-inducing rate, the police car lights flash whenever their occupants are on duty.

Regardless of what you may think about the use of graphic images in this location, or any other, this is an important...
Peddling the Religion of Death
Peddling the Religion of Death I decided to write about an incident that happened a couple of weeks ago outside our local abortion facility. This is a story you might like to share with friends or family who think that sidewalk counsellors harass and intimidate people. I know of some (otherwise) very good priests who believe that falsehood. Perhaps they would also benefit from reading this or other stories like it. It was my...
