WordPress to Patheos, Oh My!

Dear Friends: If all goes well, Public Catholic will start publishing through Patheos on Monday, August 6. As to what happens if things don’t go well, I’m kinda clueless. I have never done anything like this before so it’s a learn-as-you-go and hope-you-get-it-right process. I’ve been told that the experience will be seamless for people […]

It’s Eat a Chicken Sandwich for Freedom of Speech Day !

It’s eat a chicken sandwich for freedom of speech day. Enjoy. I got the idea for this card from a very similar one I saw on Tumblr. If I find that card again, I’ll give you the person’s name.

In Defense of Chick-Fil-A

This article comes from Mother Jones, which is named after a famous supporter of organized labor and has a long tradition of backing liberal causes, including gay rights. The article contains a quote from the American Civil Liberties Union defending Dan Cathy’s right to free speech. Dan Cathy is the president of Chick-Fil-A. Hopefully this comment, […]

Stop Slogan-Voting. Stop Hate-Voting. Stop Being Manipulated. Part 6. Preach Christ = Preach Christ Crucified

Where there is no vision, the people perish.    Proverbs 29: 18  … and he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.     Mark 6: 34 For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much […]

Christianity changing lives of India’s ‘untouchables’ :: Catholic News Agency (CNA). I think we need a break from thinking about America’s current political morass. This story of how Christianity is affecting the untouchables of India, especially the women, is a present-day example of how Our Lord lifts people out of degradation. We are called to […]

Stop Slogan-Voting. Stop Hate-Voting. Stop Being Manipulated. Introduction

Stop slogan-voting. Stop hate-voting. Stop being manipulated. We are in a fight for religious freedom in America. Religious freedom is sometimes called the “first freedom.” It is, after all, enshrined in the First Amendment. But there is another reason to call it the “first freedom.” Religious freedom is the basic human freedom on which other […]

Bishops Renew Plea To Congress And Administration To Repair Affordable Care Act

http://www.usccb.org/news/2012/12-119.cfm As I said in a comment to a friend of mine, we are like Abraham Lincoln when he said “The war is forced on us.” This mandate is a “choose this day whom you will serve” issue. Let every one of us answer, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Pray, Study, Take Action for Religious Freedom

This is a link to the story in our local newspaper about yesterday’s Rally for Religious Freedom OKC. If you have time, take a moment and read the nutso comments of the Christian-revilers.
