Did a Little House Cleaning...

Most probably have not noticed but earlier this week, I did a little cleaning up of the Blog List.  There were a number that no longer exist, so I removed them.   However, a number have been added.  

Over the next few weeks, I will highlight them.

Weird Biden Stuff

Although Joe Biden (the highest elected catholic in the US) has said some stupid stuff over the years, I have noticed that he has started to do some weird stuff lately.  So, we not only have STUPID BIDEN QUOTES but now we will have WEIRD BIDGEN STUFF.


From the Daily Mail:


Biden was at the swearing in ceremony of new Defense Secretary Ash Carter, and as Carter delivered his speech, Biden could be seen in the background with his arms on the shoulders of the man's wife, Stephanie, and whispering into her ear

For Shame Cardinal Wuerl, For Shame!

UPDATE:

For those who do not follow these things, the Cardinal that was given the "diss" is Cardinal Burke.

+++++++++++

It seems that Cardinal Wuerl has decided to "diss" another Cardinal in a public forum. 

LifeSite News pointed out that Cardinal Wuerl, on his blog, stated the following:

One of the things I have learned though over all of these years since those early naïve days in 1961 is that on closer examination there is a common thread that runs through all of these dissenters. They disagree with the Pope because he does not agree with them and therefore follow their position.

Dissent is perhaps something we will always have, lamentable as it is, but we will also always have Peter and his successor as the rock and touchstone of both our faith and our unity.

As LifeSite News and this blog have pointed out before, it seems that Cardinal Wuerl has done a turn around. 

Do you remember when her refused to withhold Communion to pro-abortion politicians, even though it was made clear by St. JP2 and Pope Benedict?

Do you remember what he did to Fr. Marcel?

Do you remember this blog pointing out when he supported pro-abortion politicians?

Once again, the Cardinal should be ashamed of himself and I call upon all Catholics:

DO NOT SUPPORT
THE CARDINAL'S APPEAL



Ask for your contribution back if you have made one!

Fr. Daly and Becoming a Bishop

I will be honest...I am not fan of Fr. Peter Daly's columns -- most of the time.  However, as with most liberal Catholic priests, Fr. Daly goes over the edge.  

Fr. Daly is the pastor over at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Prince Frederick, MD.  He writes a column. Many of them are on the parish website and some were published in the Catholic Standard.  For the last few years, his column has appeared in the National Catholic Reporter - a home for liberal/radical catholycs.

In October of 2014, during the love fest for Pope Francis, he wrote a column entitled: Four Easy Steps to Becoming A Bishop.  It was critical of bishops and how they are appointed.  You can read his essay here:  http://ncronline.org/blogs/parish-diary/four-easy-steps-take-become-bishop

I did comment about it over at NCR and so I am posting my comments here.  Enjoy.


Seems to me that Fr. Daly is jealous of those who have been chosen to be bishops. Is he upset that even though he did his seminary studies in Rome, he was "passed over." Or is he resentful that his JD from CUA was not recognized by the powers that be? Or is he resentful that he was not chosen to be the Secretary to Cardinal Hickey. Maybe he feels that he should have been head of the Curia and not Bishop Knestout.
How do you know that "parish priests" would have done any different on the issue of child abuse, had they been in office? You don't.
How many parish priests turned a blind eye to their actively gay brethren?
How many parish priests dip into the collection plate to cover the gambling addition or to help pay for their gay lovers.
Well Fr. Daly, as you know, life is unfair. Some people happen to be in the right place at the right time. Some have better skills at fundraising or dealing with the aged or at making certain things run smoothly.
You have been at your parish now for 20 years, which is unusual in this Archdiocese. Ever wonder why?
So, in order to make you feel better, my dad has some gold cufflinks he no longer needs. I can send them to you if it will sooth your hurt feelings.
