"Why I Love Religion, And Love Jesus"

A fun and enriching video

Did you see this? A Catholic priests raps his response to the viral “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus” video. It’s amusing and very well done - and he covers a lot of points in under three minutes!

For a longer and more complex commentary, this video response from Fr. Robert Barron is also worth watching.

If so, you get a gold star for studying your Catechism and perhaps you already know about this nifty little spot: FamilyCatechism.com.

Palin’s ‘Bad Example’

no good deed goes unpunished

Are Todd & Sarah Palin heroic for welcoming baby Trig into their lives? Some think so, although I suspect any of us would do the same: accept and love our kids as they come to us. I doubt the Palins think heroism was involved.

There’s a third opinion, however, exemplified by this Canadian doctor cited in today’s Los Angeles Times. He thinks Sarah Palin is a bad example because she might encourage... READ MORE
