Sometimes our personal banner can become more important than being Catholic. It doesn’t matter if you follow TLM or NO. It should not be the primary focus of our faith. When you look at the Catholic church and the various rites that exist. Then you know that we all have a place at the table.
The challenge is dealing with some of the people who want to use the form of the Mass as a weapon against someone else. I see it on both sides of the endless debate. They feel that their path is the only on…

Jesus rides a donkey, a symbol of peace, into the heart of violence and oppression. This Holy Week, we have the opportunity to reflect on the kind of symbols we embrace — and how they challenge us to action in this moment.

This month I’ll be a priest for 13 years, and celebrating the Lords Supper today, where the ministerial priesthood was instituted, has given me some thoughts.
Sin is a rejection of intimacy/communion with Christ. Judas had already arranged Christ’s betrayal, and his mind was so warped that he could not intuit the generosity of the Lords gift at this Table.

No trial. No heari…

Very good news! Not only is Abrego Garcia alive, Salvadoran authorities, reversing their initial refusal, allowed him to meet with Senator Van Hollen, who called Abrego Garcia’s wife to “pass along his message of love.” The police-state machine blinking in the harsh light of global scrutiny?
Having the FBI investigate this is like having Allen Dulles on the Warren Commission.
For you youngsters out there, the Warren Commission was created by LBJ to investigate JFK's assassination. Allen Dulles had been Director of the CIA - until he was fired by Kennedy. You know, the same CIA that quite possibly - likely - killed JFK.
In the Alex Soros twitter message showing $47 and the bullet hole in the glass it is clear that they are happy to use a bullet to stop Trump becoming the 47th president. Take away the two single bills and you get 45, the Trump presidency, take away the ten, the only note displayed upside down and you get the 35th, JFK
