Roundup bingo

Chant conference was fantastic.  Both Aristotle and Patrick were very good.  Aristotle went over most of the chant, and this guy is a gem.  Let's see, oh, I'll post some video. 

To their credit, Wisconsin Right to Life is running an ad against the HHS mandate.   .... contraception not mentioned of course.   Glad to see them join in despite their issues with contraception.

When technology comes to a crashing halt after all the natural disasters, I think I'd like this job.

St. Francis Seminary posted a video of the Institution of Acolytes.  Start around the 27 minute mark.  Good music selection.

Some beer making, Gregorian chanting monks on The Today Show.

I've got a few videos and photos of the Religious Freedom Rallies in Wisconsin.  If you have some you'd like to share, send them and I will post this week.

Still don't have my Romney post done... er...  started.   Gotta get that done this week.

I'm way behind on email, if I haven't replied, I will soon.... as I can.

Abp. Weakland on bingo(in 1977)...

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee had a new bishop in 1977, the Most Rev. Rembert Weakland, whose comments would have been of interest to Wausau parishioners because of his position’s influence on the larger Church.

“It is dangerous for any parish to balance its budget on bingo alone. ... No church should do it,” Weakland was quoted as saying in the Oct. 30, 1977, edition of the Wausau Daily Herald. “

He echoed concerns expressed by James Groppi, a widely known civil rights leader and a Catholic priest who had been excommunicated after he got married in 1976. Groppi had complained that wealthy parishes were making money on bingo games at the expense of poor people.

Per Bp. Callahan, no school closures planned for Eau Claire Regis school system. 

A liberal Catholic in the MN media disagrees with the Church on gay "marriage" and calls us bigots.  Broken record.  The reason the amendment will pass is because the left has refused to address concerns of Christians.  Illinois just saw the state shut down Catholic Charities over this issue.  Essentially they are saying, yeah, we'll shut down all the charities in MN whom refuse to convert to the state religion.  Ah, but a great op-ed out of the Twin Cities today - Marriage amendment guards society's stake in procreation.
