The Catholic Message Board

I appreciate ... and share ... the sentiment.

Who is looking at the camera? And who is looking at the road?

My gut feel is that, as long as killing of demonstrators continues, the security apparatus is functioning.

It seems that Trump announced a framework for resolution of the Greenland issue. It also seems that nobody else is aware of a framework for resolution. Trump is never boring.

Our city has similar issues. Enrollment decline and closures have been the trend for decades. Let me echo two points. First, anecdotal comments inform me that many Catholic families have decided that tuition is too expensive. A welfare mentality generates a belief that the government should provide ...

Useful training tip.

not a good idea What, specifically, is not a good idea? I often wonder now much coming from various sources, including ecclesiastical, is a form of virtue signaling.

I get the keyboard and the remote, but how can the dog possibly use the spoon?

I don't know what that is, either. Come on, guys, quit making me look things up.

Not very useful, eh? OTOH...

I don't. I don't even know what it is.

Or the exception which proves the rule.
