The next post from my daughter. ==== Ciudad Blanca Below is part three of the Andes series. Part two of the series is The Mountains.

Marriage and permanency

13 February 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

When I first saw this comic today, I read it quickly and was mildly offended at the mother’s comment in the second panel. Then I reread it and realized that I did agree with it. You see, at first I had read the second panel from the sacramental viewpoint. From the view of God’s desire […]

10 February 2010 · by  Fr. Orthoduck 8 Comments

Given the extremely low rating that Congress has, regardless of whether one is a Democrat or a Republican, the cartoon above points to a uniting point between Democrats, Republican, Independents, Libertarians, Anarchists, etc. Sadly, that […]

Never Ceese and Augustinian Original Sin
