Consistently pro-death?
Fr. Orthoduck found the comic above to be an interesting commentary on our culture. We argue that we are either pro-choice or pro-life. But, is the reality of our cultural situation that all of us are more pro-death than we ought to be? Please note how the editorial author took our attitudes and put them […]
Cutie problems
I live in Florida, just three hours from Miami, and I am a Cuban. Which means that I get periodic updates from relatives in Miami on all the latest scandals. And, the latest scandal is an incredibly juicy one. The Rev. Father Alberto Cutie, a Roman Catholic priest, is blue-eyed, handsome, and a national Spanish-language television host. He is an […]
Fr. Paul Moses
About five months ago I wrote a post called, And the Bishop Cried. In it I reported about our bishop’s reaction to the news that one of my fellow priests, The Very Rev. Fr. Paul Moses, had terminal cancer and was expected to last only four months. He actually lasted five and a half months. […]

But, what about communion in a time of illness?
Yep, sure enough, the question comes up again. But, Father, should we not change our method of giving the Lord’s Body and Blood since the swine flu is going around? That same question came up when the HIV virus was first identified as causing AIDS. It comes up in the USA every time that something […]

I urge you to go over there and look at their site. As you browse through the winners from last year, it will […]
Product review on the Kindle 2
I have never done a product review before, but I was recently given a product, as a gift, which I have grown to really like. But, the Amazon Kindle 2â„¢ has been a fun product to get to use. The official description is: Slim: Just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines Lightweight: […]
A view from the side pew
Fr. Orthoduck has a friend named Fr. Orthohippo. He sent me the submission below, which I am glad to pass on to you. ===================== Fr. Orthohippo MSJ Many orthoducks as well as orthohippos, not to mention almost every other Christian body, have many cradle members. These folk are usually found in their own regular seats at […]
