  1. Hey Fr. Tim

    Nice moose but he's been circulating on the internet for about 3 years now at least. I've had it sent to me long ago by hunting buddies but I've never heard an origin for the photo. Looks like a Photoshop job to me but I could be wrong. It certainly wasn't taken last week.

    Cheers

Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death  that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
