A note from a friend of this blog!!

Father Tim,
I just couldn't figure out how to email you at your blog.  I hope this will suffice.  I am trying to get some leverage for a fast/pray initiative this Monday.  Could you please help by mentioning it on your blog?  (besides, the radicals will love to hear that we STILL fast and pray in desperate times!)
Thanks so much, Father Tim.

John Pacheco (SoCon or Bust) has called for a day of fasting and prayer this Monday.  (and you thought I'd ask you to write a letter!)


The Canadian bishops will be talking about Development and Peace at 11:45am on Monday, at their annual plenary session, in Cornwall, Ontario.  Pro-lifers have been waiting a long time to hear the bishops speak definitively on why -

1. Development and Peace is giving money to fund 47 pro-abortion groups in the Third World?
(see: http://www.socon.ca/index/dp_abortion.html
and
http://www.lifesitenews.com/features/DevelopmentPeace/)

2. why Development and Peace money is being used to obtain a Federal Court injunction Sept. 12 to block an access (via an access to information request by lifesitenews) to information request for the names and funding levels regarding its nearly 200 partner organizations in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia?
(see write up in Catholic Register-  http://www.catholicregister.org/canada/court-quashes-access-to-information-on-dp)


If you have a chance (in between fasting and praying), please send John a note of encouragement, and solidarity at-

So far, there is just three people joining me. And I do hate to fast and pray alone.

This is a VERY critical moment in the Catholic church in Canada.  Let's pray our wonderful bishops over to the pro-life side!

Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)

Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring  themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. 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...
