		<title>Penn &amp; Teller Take On the Vatican &#8211; Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back to Part 1
After the first few minutes of the 30-minute episode, much of the rest was devoted to speaking to a few people who had various criticisms of the Church and her leadership.  Also, this portion dealt not so much with facts regarding the Papacy, but of opinions regarding specific teachings of the Church [...]]]></description>

		<title>Penn &amp; Teller Take On the Vatican &#8211; Part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently watched an episode of Penn and Teller&#8217;s show Bullshit (which can be found on YouTube) that was intended to show the fallacies of Catholicism in regard to belief in the Papacy. For those who have never watched their show before, it is intended to be a show in the same vein as Mythbusters, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back to blogging!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been eight months since I&#8217;ve written anything, as I&#8217;ve been particularly busy with work and family life.  Also, these last couple of months, I&#8217;ve been reading quite a lot.  After several years of owning a copy, I have been reading The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis.  This book seems to be an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remembering the Reason for the Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the Christmas season quickly approaches (no, we&#8217;re not there yet!) I pause to observe how Christmas has been commercialized to the point where a truly traditional Christmas celebration would seem archaic to most people in the USA today.  Also, many stores have eliminated all references to Christ, Christmas, and in a few cases, even [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Muslim Convert to Catholic Faith Founds Pro-Life Political Party in Europe&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given the usual news about radical Muslims in the news, this is quite an uplifting story!  It&#8217;s also quite promising to see pro-life sentiments being propogated in Europe &#8211; a continent where abortion has been licit for quite some time longer than in the USA.

		<title>PVS and Catholic Moral Teachings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Every now and then, a story about PVS comes out and I am reminded of Terri Schiavo.  Terri Schiavo suffered from PVS (Persistent Vegetative State) and was allowed to die from dehydration.  Regardless of whether or not she was conscious, allowing her to die in such a manner has uneqivocally been denounced by the Holy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anti-Christian Violence in India</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, there has been an upsurge in violence against Catholics and other Christians in India, a country often associated with religious tolerance, rather than religious persecution.  Catholic Online has a petition for support of Catholics in India: http://www.catholic.org/catholicaction/india/.
Please pray for all Christians in India, that they may be free from persecution, and that they may [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cardinal Stafford&#8217;s pro-life talk at Catholic University</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is interesting to see how the pro-abortion / pro-licentiousness crowd often frames these discussions as tirades by irrational old men, when the arguments put forth by the Church are, in fact, quite rational and logical.

		<title>Columbia, SC Priest says Obama supporters should not take Communion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am glad to see that our priests are beginning to speak out on these issues.  In the last few years &#8211; especially since the 2004 election &#8211; bishops are priests alike are using the threat of excommunication for abortion and abortion-related acts.

		<title>Attempted Desecration of Eucharist in Florida</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A 33-year old man in Jensen Beach, Florida attempted to steal consecrated Hosts from a parish church during Communion, assaulting a priest and several parishioners in the process.
It is assumed by some that he intended to use the Hosts for some diabolical purpose; perhaps a Black Mass or something like that.  It should be noted [...]]]></description>
