Look at that Poor Little Girl

This is the photo which accompanies the Telegraph story on how the Catholic Church will now be forced to permit homosexual adoption or get out of the adoption business. While the point is to present a beautiful girl with homosexual 'parents', the image may backfire. On seeing the photo, and the girl's expression I immediately felt for the girl in her plight, for her lack of a mother, and was motivated to take action to fight for the rights of these poor children to have a mother AND a father.

On Handing Over Communion to Pro-Choice Politicians

This comment from Catholic World News' Diogenes is priceless:

Bishops ought to think carefully before handing over Holy Communion to “manifest grave sinners,” like civil authorities who publicly promote contraception, abortion and same sex marriage. (Can. 915). Jesus was surely referring to the “chief priests” when He said to Pilate “he who handed me over to you is guilty of the greater sin” (Jn.18:35; 19:11).

My predictions for 2007

That the Holy Father will give a universal indult for the Traditional Mass and will do something else which will result in the defacto schism becoming formal.

I think the Archbishop Communist collaboration story in Poland is a SHAM

Colleagues in Poland have informed me the Wielgus was a conservative and the proposed successor is a liberal.

Now the records are being pointed to by the same old communists and their new anti-Catholic collaborators.

Here's the best round-up I've found so far on the topic by Sandro Magister in Rome.
