Christmas Card

Merry Christmas to you, my friends. One can only imagine what the world would be like if the Light had not entered and defeated the dark. Doesn't one wonder after all why a sunny day where light glints off the snow takes away the dreariness of winter? Why is this so? Is the Light that we see a kind of reflection of the Lord who is the True Light? I think the feeling we get from sun light is a kind of dim reflection of what Son Light is and what we have to look forward to. Merry Christmas to you, my friends.

The USCCB and Dante

I have to wonder on hearing the letter by archbishop Jose Gomez, president of the USCCB (United States Conference of Religious Professionals) congratulating Biden and Harris on their election success (premature by the way) what level of the Inferno Dante would place this august organization. Oh, that a man may gain the whole world and lose his own soul.

The Enigma of this Prizefight

One just has to wonder. If we were discussing a prize fight and we had one fighter who trained very hard, skipping rope, doing his road work, shadow boxing, facing the most deceptive of sparring partners, having his sessions open to the public; and the other, his opponent, did not train, did not skip rope, did no road work, no shadow boxing, no sparring partners, no sessions open to the public...and then the night of the big fight you had the one who trained way after so many rounds way ahead on points. But then suddenly the fight was inexplicably stopped. And during this postponement came a conference, judges and referree and after some consultation the ref returns to the center of the ring and raises the limp arm of the battered one who had not trained. As a boxing fan doesn't it make you even a little suspicious that the fight was fixed?
