I recently received the following comment. It is a story I am hearing again and again. In 2007 I went with my wife to see our priest in Florida concerning our marriage. I told the priest that I did not want to get divorced and that my wife had filed for divorce. The parish priest [...]

MARRIED OR CELIBATE PRIESTHOOD?
Posted in Catholicism, Christianity, Marriage, Ministry, Priesthood, Religion, Sacraments, Sexuality, Vocations on March 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
STEVE: With all of these cases [of priests leaving for women], it brings up the arguments to allow priests to marry. The practice of celibate priests, I believe, did not happen until the middle ages in the West. Our first Pope, Peter was married as many priests in the East have been since the beginning. [...]
PRIESTS, WOMEN & THE HEART
Posted in Catholicism, Christianity, Divorce, Marriage, Ministry, Priesthood, Religion, Sexuality, Vocations on March 28, 2009 | 80 Comments »
FATHER JOE: Healthy heterosexuals, real men in the priesthood, are attracted to women. They make a promise of celibate love and by discipline, prayer and grace, they live out this life of loving service. They might fall in love… heck, they might fall in love with a number of nice women in their lifetimes, but [...]
NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
Posted in Catholic News, Catholicism, Children, Christianity, Holy Family Church, Homosexuality, Marriage, Priesthood, Religion, Right to Life, Sexuality on March 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Through Scripture and Catholic teachings we are called to protect the life and dignity of all human persons no matter how young or old. Working to prevent child abuse is an important response of what we are called to do as a Church. The Archdiocese of Washington is [...]
LONGING FOR SOMETHING?
Posted in Archdiocese, Catholicism, Christianity, Eucharist, Religion on March 27, 2009 | 3 Comments »
“LONGING FOR SOMETHING? MAYBE IT’S GOD!” When a friend of mine first saw the title of this initiative on a bus billboard, she humorously said, “Hum, longing for something? Maybe it’s… CHOCOLATE!” She did not mean to be profane; I guess she was just hungry. Her response does offer us something important to reflect upon. [...]
ARCHDIOCESAN BLOG FOR WASHINGTON
Posted in Archdiocese, Catholic Sites, Catholicism, Christianity, Ministry, Religion on March 25, 2009 | 7 Comments »
The Archdiocese of Washington has started a blog for the Lenten initiative, “LONGING FOR SOMETHING? MAYBE IT’S GOD.” My dear friend and priest-colleague Father Charles Pope writes most of the posts. He is well known for his offering of the Tridentine Mass and for running a bible study in the White House during the last [...]
FALLEN PRIESTS & THEIR WOMEN
Posted in Apologetics, Catholicism, Christianity, Marriage, Ministry, Priesthood, Religion, Sacraments, Sexuality, Vocations on March 23, 2009 |
Choosing the Woman over the Altar If any priest in a compromised situation with a woman attempts marriage then he places himself and a person he says he loves into a seriously sinful state. It angers or upsets me that men can reject Church law and teachings when it suits their selfishness. My upset or [...]
STATIONS OF THE CROSS

A puppet version of the Stations of the Cross. The puppet show is created by Jesuit Brother Edward Sheehy. The show is edited and produced by Yvonne Balcer. The show was filmed at St. Peter’s Church, Jersey City, NJ in 2006.
CATHOLIC CHURCH UNDER ATTACK IN U.S.
Posted in Abortion, Anti-Catholicism, Apologetics, Bigotry, Catholic News, Catholicism, Christianity, Gays, Homosexuality, Knights of Columbus, Marriage, Ministry, Patriotism, Politics, Priesthood, Religion, Right to Life, Sexuality on March 8, 2009 | 24 Comments »
Do we see here the latest faces of evil? While a certain anti-Catholicism has long been fashionable in the U.S., these bigots pull no punches in attacking the divinely instituted hierarchical structure of the Catholic Church: Rep. Michael Lawlor and Sen. Andrew McDonald of Connecticut. Why? It is because these gay men hate the Church for her position against same-sex civil [...]
CONFLICTING MESSAGES

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration and making angry gestures as she missed her chance to get [...]
THE NECKLACE
Posted in Asides, Christianity, Family on March 4, 2009 | 6 Comments »
The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. “Oh Mommy please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?” Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box [...]
