O.K. so I have not posted a blog entry since, well, just about a season ago.  Another false start on the blogging, but here I go again.

I write this at a very distressing time for Catholics.  First, I hear about Rosie O'Donnell's anti-Christian hate speech on The View.  She's another moral-relativist, humanist trying to eliminate religion from the world--the type that Pope Benedict XVI was making his point about in his speech that caused radical Muslims to go on yet another violent rampage.  How can that be?  For those of you frustrated at how the news only reports the juicy, anti-Christian snippets out of context, here is a link to the Pope's full speech:

I continue to follow the news, wondering how this violence is going to end.  Will the Pope go to Turkey as planned?  Catholics in many parts of the world are living in fear of radical as I write; I pray for them, and for those putting them in fear.  I pray for peace to come quickly.
