On Biden’s Standing as a Good Catholic Why has “The Church” failed to excommunicate this mega heretic? (“Now dat doh make no see-ance” as some observers might say. Excommunication is for heretics and unrepentant sinners. And Biden, an un-equivocating advocate of the abortion holocaust, is both. So why the dereliction in carrying out the verdict?) […]

We may well act condemnably Toward those who are condemnable. There really ought be no issue here, But those delicate anti-theists Who despise the rule of Law Can’t stand the notion that there is But one way when Truth be told. “Must there not be at least one other?” They seem to shriek with fear […]

We have, in our culture, an undefined standard of toleration for “opinions.” We use the word almost as a thing sacred, to be respected and deferred to whenever the invocation of the word is heard by disputants. When “Well, that is my opinion!” is asserted, we back off from any assertiveness, lest we be construed […]

Got a hitch to my walk; And it ain’t just talk. Got pain with every step! No fun to go out; Can’t sing or shout When those hips are cryin’ Out for mercy! Oh my, oh me Count it one, two, three And I’m done and been set free From the walk and the pain. […]

To the tune of “America” (“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies . . .) O Beautiful, you’ve lost the race You’ve fallen far from grace You’re high and dry while babies die You don’t deserve this place That land would vomit you right out But for the grace of God He’s done with you, your time […]

What is all this mask mania? We think we can escape a judgment by means of masks? Suck it up and die if that is the fate the Providence has ordained! Otherwise, live with thanksgiving and enjoy His mercy. But do not deceive yourself by imagining the use of a mask will protect you from […]

Well, she scrapped her scrubs And we sat down And played a game o’ cards. Well, it was hard! I was beatin’ her pants right off; O man, I had to scoff! ‘Twas a sho-nuf slaughter An’ I was a boastin’ louder Than ever I had before (Almost threw me out the door!) Well, I […]

Like a couple of slugs Moving along the sidewalk “I’m, feelin’ it for you! You’re feelin’ it for me! Let’s suck on each other!” They slide along leaving a line Their scum on the sidewalk behind On walls and your cars A trace of their hook-ups Is left in the world. So boys and girls […]

(2 Sam 15:20f.) They passed over the brook Kidron, David and all his men. ‘Twas a wrenching of the heart, indeed, But necessary to be freed From the war brought by Absalom; Had to head toward pagans and slums. It was bye-bye to Ittai, the Gittite, But that man wanted to do right. Said, “Wherever […]
