Catholic Humor for Friday

So a deacon and his pastor are on a missionary trip, in a dangerous part of Latin America.
 
They end up being kidnapped by revolutionaries.  The revolutionaries decide to execute them both by firing squad.
 
As they blindfold the two men, the head of the death squad asks the deacon if he has a final request.
 
“Yes,” the deacon replies bravely.  “I’d like to deliver one last homily.”
 
The head of the death squad considers this for a moment,  and agrees to the request.
 
He then asks the pastor of he has any last wishes.
 
“Yes,” the pastor replies.  “Shoot me first.”

Gay Marriage Supports Must be Running Scared...

The Tuesday, Washington comPost reported that Gov. O'Malley will attend a fundraiser in NYC at the James Hotel on Sept. 13th.  Tickets go from $250 to $25K.  In attendance will be Sarah Jessica Parker (put a bag over the face sweetheart), Susan Sarandon (a darling of the left) and a couple of others.

I mean really gays, I mean guys. If you cannot raise enough money in Maryland,  then it shows you are really in bad shape.

However, we can show them -- simply VOTE NO on Question 6 in November. 

Oh, and while you are at it, VOTE NO on Question 4.

Maryland Voters -- Say NO to Question 4 the Nightmare Act

The wording for the Dream Act (aka The Nightmare Act) has been published by the Maryland Catholic Conference and others.

I urge you to vote NO on Question 4.  Do not give those who are in the country illegally, the same rights and privileges as those who were either born here legally or have entered the country legally.

You know the Maryland Catholic Conference is not telling the full truth on this.  And, as some of you know, they will no longer let me comment on their website about it.  I guess, they don't like it when you knock down their straw arguments. 

And tell the Maryland Catholic Conference to put their efforts into defeating the Gay Marriage vote, as well as, focusing on obtaining vouchers and tax credits for those who send their children to Catholic Schools.  

For shame MCC!!!

2016

So, Saturday night I went to see 2016 and I am glad I did.  Take a friend.

I had forgotten about the Dinesh D'Souza article and remembered, how right he is.  However, the documentary takes the article and really puts it into context, now that time has passed.

I won't tell you the conclusion about it but it makes total sense.

Read his article.  Go see it.

Saturday Evening at Chick-fil-A

So, Saturday night I decide to go to see 2016 at the theaters in downtown Silver Spring.

I parked in the public parking lot and as I am walking by Chick-fil-A, there are a group of about ten protestors.  Most looked like they were either high school seniors or freshmen in college, holding up some undecipherable signs but you know they were pro-gay.  There was a guy in a Guy Fawkes mask and Grim Reaper cloak and hood, and an older woman (probably in her 60's with an Obama sticker on her sign. They were quiet but lined the sidewalk.

When I saw them, I decided that something was to be done.  I walked by them and went in to Chick-fil-A and purchased six cookies.  To be honest, I wasn't hungry but I wasn't going to let them intimidate anyone.

I purchased the cookies and walked out of the store, only to be told by the Guy Fawkes character "Thank you for supporting hate."   

So, being the smart ass that I sometimes can be, I offered each of the protesters a cookie as I passed them.  "Would you like a cookie?," I asked.

I then realized that they wouldn't let me in the movies with them, so, I took one out and took a bite.  It was actually pretty good.

So, as I walked by them, I once again offered them a cookie, letting them know that they were pretty good and they are missing out.

I will not be intimidated!

CUA Trustee is Catholic for Obama Supporter!

It seems that a member of the Catholic University of America Board of Trustees is also one of the top Catholic for Obama supporters.   According to their website:

Attorney Mark Tuohey III is a partner for Brown Rudnick in Washington, D.C. Tuohey is currently the Vice Chair of Fordham University Board of Trustees and a member of the Catholic University of America Board of Trustees, as well as the Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good Board of Directors.

Now does that not beat all. 

Here we have one of the key supporters of the man who will force Catholic institutions, such as CUA, to fund abortions and contraceptives against their will, on the Board of Trustees.

It is time for the CUA President, Archbishop Wuerl, Msgr. Rossi and all the others to ask Mr. Tuohey to resign from the Board of Trustees.  If he refuses, then he should be forced off the Board.

Another embarrassment upon our Church!
