I am a fan of Sister, although I've never met or corresponded with her. I plan on going to this on November 7th. While her ministry is to to people on death row and to abolishing the death penalty, she is not afraid to voice her right to life position. Activist and author Sister Helen…

This really is amazing. The magician is Dan White on with Jimmy Fallon in June, 2017. Been viewed well over 2 million times.  

Today is her feast day. The promoter and updater of an ancient Catholic devotion. A little excerpt below the link. Saint Margaret Mary and the Sacred Heart Beginning in 1686, the convent at Paray-le-Monial observed the feast of the Sacred Heart privately, and two years later, a chapel was built at the convent to honor…

Pope St. John XXIII (1881–1963) was the third of thirteen children born to a poor sharecropping family living in Lombardy, Italy.…

I agree, speaking as a registered independent. Of course I get belittled for that as some of my Democrat Party loyalty first friends think I'm a closet Republican. My Party right or wrong, but right or wrong, my Party? Party loyalty – not a good place to store your emotional capital. This article is from…
