Father Corapi

Found this over on Patrick Madrid’s site. It’s modeled after the famously funny Chuck Norris-isms. Very funny!

I’ve mentioned Fr. Corapi quite a bit on Fallible Blogma. Here are a few of the reasons why: [Keep Reading]

Post image for Every attack on Christianity is an opportunity

When Christianity is (or Christians are) persecuted it is easy to get defensive or to respond in kind. But if we do that, we miss out on a very powerful opportunity to evangelize – to be the authentic kind of Christian that changes hearts without saying a word.

A writer for Vanity Fair recently bashed the city of Cincinnati for, among other things, booking a big conference featuring the very popular Fr. Corapi.

The writer said things like this about the conference: [Keep Reading]

Cool: A journey through our universe

Go on a fantastic ride through our universe. This little video puts our little home here in perspective (and to-scale). I really enjoyed it.
Watching it reminded me of how small we are, but also of how special we are. Life is such a gift. It’s so easy to take our existence for granted.

The Eye of God

A beautiful NASA photo of a planetary nebulae (created at the end of the life of a dying, sun-like star) about 650 light years away. Perhaps a visual reminder to us of our loving God who sees all.

Don’t Waste Your Freedom

Thumbnail image for Don’t Waste Your Freedom

Freedom is wasted when not used for these ends: the pursuit of the true, the good and the beautiful.
“Life is not just a succession of events or experiences: it is a search for the true, the good and the beautiful. It is to this end that we make our choices; it is for this that [...]

The Baby Gianna Story

This story has it all. Betrayal. Faith. Scandal. Disappointment. Tragedy. Love. Fear. Compassion. Uncertainty. And Hope.
It’s impossible to sum up. You just gotta read it and prepare to be touched. The Baby Gianna Story.

Must-watch for all Christians: Faith in the Public Life

Archbishop Chaput speaks and answers questions at Houston Baptist University. What a great light in the Church. It’s a bit long, but totally worth your time. And very good whether you are Catholic, Baptist or anything else.

Blaise Pascal was a scientific genius. He was pretty smart about other stuff, too.
“Reason’s last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it.” – Blaise Pascal

Catholic New Media Awards should team up with CNMC

Thumbnail image for Catholic New Media Awards should team up with CNMC

I was writing my weekly post on Catholics in New Media on the Register this morning and had an idea.
Today I highlighted the Catholic New Media Awards (formerly the Catholic Blog Awards). And they are in the process of receiving feedback for the 2010 awards. So I was thinking of ideas…
Wouldn’t it be awesome [...]

More shameless politicians

It is good to be reminded that, unfortunately, most politicians – while they seem like nice, honest people – are actually big fat two-faced lying hypocrites. And I mean that in a nice way. But this is ridiculous. And it happens too much on both sides of the aisle.
For a little context (if you’re not [...]

Wisconsin: Another Planned Parenthood caught covering up child rape

Live Action does it again. Below is yet another example of the corruption and immorality of Planned Parenthood. I’m in shock really. Every time I see one of these videos I think it is just another video of the same instance. But it’s not. This is like the 10th time Live Action has exposed a [...]

Integrity of Obama’s word finally, finally revealed

President Obama has continually told us that the health care legislation will not federally fund/subsidize abortion. Not only that, but he has repeatedly criticized others as “bearing false witness” and spreading misinformation when they insisted he wasn’t telling the truth.

It has been quite clear that any of the serious legislation in congress up to this [...]

Excellent commentary on JPII’s self-mortification

I think when a lot of people heard about Pope John Paul II’s practice of self-mortification, it might have made them feel a bit weird. And it is, understandably, hard for many people these days to understand this kind of practice or it’s easy to mistake it for a kind of masochism. But that would [...]

Highlighting Catholics in New Media

Thumbnail image for Highlighting Catholics in New Media

After some discernment, my blog over at the National Catholic Register is going to be primarily about New Media now. Which I am very excited about.
Today I highlighted SQPN and I plan to do the same with other Catholic new media in the future. In fact, I am planning on showcasing and helping promote something [...]
