St. Francis is recruited to help save planet earth

Take the
St. Francis Pledge

Pope Francis cares about how the most vulnerable people among us are affected by climate change. Commit to protecting the people God loves by taking the St. Francis Pledge.

By pledging, you commit to praying, acting, and advocating to solve climate change. How you fulfill those commitments is up to you. We’ll send you resources and information to guide your choices. 

After taking the Pledge, you will receive action alerts to make a difference, carbon-reduction strategies to live justly on the Earth, and updates on Catholics leading the charge to solve climate change.

Let’s respond to Pope Francis’s call to act on climate change. Together, we can make a difference.

Dan Misleh,
Executive Director

Dirge for deaths of Latin, God, and mystery

Blithe Spirit

Before I do one more thing in this late-starting Tuesday morning, a word from Mr. Hickey of Leo Catholic HS:

In my lifetime, I witnessed the euthanizing of Latin and the Death of God by academics and churchmen.  Latin was deemed irrelevant, the vernacular ascended to Parnassus and the Vatican dome.  That is too bad.  The mystery of learning has gone the way of sacred liturgy -no mystery and no beauty.  Education means punching one’s ticket for entry to something else.

Such a mournful mouthfull. Congratulations, Hickey.

Hillary Tax classic case of killing golden-egg-laying goose. She stupid!

Oak Park Republicans

Nigh Inconceivably Stupid Would Be a Fair Phrase For Clinton’s Tax Hike – The New York Sun.

The worst sectors of the worst recovery since World War II are business investment in new plants and equipment and new business start-ups. These are the biggest job-creators, and their slump is a key reason for the sub-par labor recovery, with low participation rates and high involuntary part-time workers.

So if investment is the problem, what does Hillary Clinton go out and do? She proposes jacking up the tax on investment. It’s almost inconceivably stupid

Hard words from a scandalized Catholic

What on earth is Pope Francis doing?

By Louie Verrecchio

From the laughable notion that recreating the Petrine Office in one’s own image and likeness is a mark of “humility,” to the dog-and-pony press conference that presented the 40,000 word Eco-Marxist manifesto Laudato Si’ to the world as a contribution to the social doctrine of the Church, the current pontificate is so lacking genuine Catholic character that its official messaging often gives off the unmistakable stench of a spin job deliberately crafted to deceive.

The farcical tones that began emanating from Rome in the early evening hours of 13 March 2013, apparently detectable to but a relative few early on, have been growing louder and louder ever since.

Today, the alarm bells being sounded by the Franciscan pontificate are so deafening that even some among the slumbering class of the neo-conservatives can’t help but be stirred.
