The US State Department Just Forgot to Mention…

According to Captain’s Quarter’s blog, the US State Department has had evidence that former (and now dead) Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was responsible for the murder of two US diplomats (Ambassador Cleo Noel and his deputy George Moore) and a Belgian diplomat in 1973.

B16 Speaks to the Curia

Sandro Magister has a posting on www.chiesa.com regarding the Holy Father’s recent remarks before the Roman curia just before Christmas.

B16 on Gesu Bambino

God’s sign is simplicity. God’s sign is the baby. God’s sign is that he makes himself small for us. This is how he reigns. He does not come with power and outward splendour. He comes as a baby â€“ defenceless and in need of our help. He does not want to overwhelm us with his [...]

Christmas Anticipated

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus [...]

Kucinich Hopes To Get On The Radar (And Return To Planet Earth)

Well, here we go again. Dennis Kucinich, loser congressman from Cleveland, Ohio, hopes that he above all the other politicians out there, will be sworn in as US President come 2009. This pathetically weak man (morally and psychologically) has announced that he will seek the office of the President of the United States. [...]

Bishop Bruskewitz, Please Call Your Brother Bishops

One piece of satisfying news from the Vatican. Seems that a certain bishop in Lincoln, Nebraska has prevailed in an appeal to the Vatican by excommunicated Catholics in the bishop’s diocese. From Catholic World News: Dec. 7, 2006 (CWNews.com) – The Vatican has confirmed an American bishop’s decision to excommunicate members of the [...]
