You would NOT see this kind of shot taken at the Jewish people or Muslims (and indeed, the latter category has a modern history internationally of rioting over any attempt.)

Cheap, media. Cheap. Not that I expect any better.

I’ve been watching clips from here and am REALLY liking what I see. Catholic, unashamed, faithful, great! I heard about this site from both the message boards at www.fisheaters.com and while listening to Relevant Radio. That’s two positive endorsements right there. The videos are higher quality than I thought they’d be, too. There will be premium features starting next month. It’s $10/month, so I might try it for a month and determine if it’s worth the money. Of course, I need a job first so I HAVE money….prayers on that would be appreciated…. u_u

じゃね！

What the dilly is up with Washington? Guliani (alright, he’s out of the picture, but still,) Pelosi, Durbin (I’m ashamed to say that he’s ours, too, along with Obama,) Kennedy, Biden, etc. etc. etc. What part of YOU CAN’T BE CATHOLIC AND PRO-ABORTION is so hard for these people to understand?!?!?! I don’t want McCain to win, either, but he’s better than Obama. Usually in this situation, I look at the Constitution Party, but I don’t know…. The Libertarian candidate is pro-death, as far as I know, so that’s out… Oi… The one thing I consider a non-option is NOT voting. I’ll write in Donald Duck if I have to. :p

ADD is kicking in…*Wanders off to play with shiny objects.*

OK, these freaks would raise Cain if the Cardinal were to intrude one of THEIR meetings, but disrupt the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Sure! Where we are to be our MOST humble, they can only think about their own “cause” and their own self-posturing. My choice of Current Music was not without forethought. I’m actually really glad this article did not try to make these schmucks out to be martyrs. For anyone who’s read The Screwtape Letters, by CS Lewis, this makes me think of when Screwtape tells Wormwood to make sure that the Patient’s “faith” goes no deeper than “Christianity and the Cause.” Always Christianity and _____ (insert war, peace, whatever you want here,) where Christ and His word and preaching and His Church are only worth anything to the extent that they can be sacrificed on the altar of the Cause. Catholic Social Teaching is only worth something when it’s Iraq; turn to Roe vs. Wade, homosexual “marriage,” or anything like that, and all that nice rhetoric dries up QUICK.

I’d rant more, but I’ve homework.

NOTE: the above is cut-and-pasted from my Live Journal. Current Music was Plus One’s cover of “Here I Am to Worship.” I also note the cut-pastage in clase things don’t format right once I actually click Publish. I don’t have time at the moment to putz with it to make it look like it ought. Sorry!

Oh, and for anyone wondering, Notre Dame rejected me. Nothing more to say on that than that.
