Thank God when the problem is on...Thanks Adrienne! Thank God when the problem is only first-world!<br /><br />I have been giving thought to the question of money to bishops. I always earmark my parish donations for particular purposes, because I know there are assessments that go to to the USCCB, and I do not want a dime to go to them. This is an organization with no canonical authority, where bishops convene in four-star hotels, behind a phalanx of armed security, to advocate gun control. But then I ask myself: how much do the bishops really miss my contributions, when there are plenty of liberal big-money donors they can turn to, including (at least under some administrations) the government? It’s a depressing thought, and proves that the solution to these problems is out of our hands.<br /><br />On a lighter note, just as you are getting on with your day, I am going in this afternoon for my first haircut since February!!!

There is no doubt in...Absolutely excellent, Anita.<br /><br />There is no doubt in my mind that many, many "Catholics" will not be returning to Mass when this nonsense is over. I'm always saying "follow the money." What are all those unfaithful bishops and priests going to do when the collection plates are empty from lack of people?<br /><br />I just started re-reading Dark Agenda:The War to Destroy Christian America by David Horowitz. It's excellent. His book Radical Son: A Generational Odyssey is also excellent.<br /><br />Now to figure out the rest of my day - something that is always handled first thing in the morning after journaling and prayer. My dentist appointment for 9am was screwed up after being moved once already so it's now next week. So here I sit, showered, dressed, make up and hair done, and no where to go. Arrrrrgh! I guess I could slither over to Coeur d'Alene and hit up TJ Maxx or some other useless diversion. First world problems to be sure!
