This for the friends we had of old Friends for a lifetime’s love and cheer. This for the friends who come no more Who cannot be among us here. We’ll not forget, while we’re alive, These hollowed dead, these deeds of fame. Where they have gone, we will follow soon Into the darkness and the […]

Report on East Anglia University climate research panel

15 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

As you know, the news media can exaggerate news reports or misunderstand them. Nevertheless, most of the times they have it basically correct. I am delaying my postings on denying communion to those who actively and directly are involved in abortion for this news flash from London. As you may remember, the climate scientists from […]

Some notes on denial of communion to anti-life people

14 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

Before I go on in my discussion of the denial of communion to anti-life people, I need to answer some very good questions that came up that I would like to answer: More on your topic — where does it end? How about the justices who wrote Roe v. Wade? The Presidents who nominated them, […]

Latino Archbishop for Los Angeles

13 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

I again interrupt the blogging on pro-birth and pro-life with a news report that is being received with much pride among Latinos. Archbishop José Gomez of San Antonio has been named Bishop Co-Adjutor for Cardinal Roger Mahony of the Diocese of Los Angeles (Roman Catholic). Since this is the largest Local Church in North America, […]

Quenya (Tolkien elf) Paschal greeting

12 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

Thanks to a friend, I can pass on to you what the greeting would be that Aragorn and Arwen would have exchanged on Pascha (Easter Day) had it existed back then. Yes, someone has translated the traditional greeting–Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!–into Quenya. Ortanne Laivino! Anwa ortanne Laivino! From an Orthodox website, here […]

OK, let’s get it right!

11 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

I know that I had said I would finish talking about some pro-life issues today, but life was a little busier yesterday than I expected. So, meantime, enjoy the above cartoon from Pithless Thoughts. Sadly, I have some people in the mission I am building up that have the same attitude as the curmudgeon above. […]

All who approve and promote murder should be denied communion, right?

10 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 10 Comments

I commented yesterday that there I have no problem with the idea that those who are actively and directly involved in activities that are in murderous violation of pro-life standards should be denied communion. But, I also commented that many pro-birth people do not fully carry out their own beliefs. That is, they are willing […]

Active anti-life people should be denied communion

9 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

Active anti-life people should be denied communion. That is something with which I fully and completely agree. I agreed with it during the last election and I agree with it now. Let me carefully say that I am speaking only about people who are actively and directly involved in activities that are in murderous violation […]

The Census and right wing(nuts)

8 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R) of North Carolina is one of the more conservative members of Congress. He has even proposed replacing the image of U.S. Grant on the $50 bill with the image of Ronald Reagan. But, Rep. McHenry is in favor of the Census and is encouraging people to fully respond to the Census […]

6 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 13 Comments

The news has just been received that last night Michael Spencer, the InternetMonk, passed away surrounded by his family. I never had the opportunity to meet Michael face to face, I “met” him online at his blog about a year and a half ago. I quickly warmed to his blog and to his breadth of […]
