A slow process

And who needs a prayer book

more than the people who are putting their lives in danger every day?

Knights of Columbus deliver another 100,000 military prayer books

I strongly object to the wars that are being fought in the world right now, but I strongly support the men and women who have to fight them.

An interesting article

with quite a funny ending...

Cardinal Levada - 'We Do Not Build Heaven On Earth'

Concerned Roman Catholics Call on Knights of Columbus to Expel Pro-Abortion Politicians

On a local level a lot of Knights have done wonderful things for the Pro-Life movement. To lump them all together and slam them this way is uncharitable to say the least. They want the Knights in all areas to become angry fringe critics like themselves that people see as bitter and angry and who truly do nothing other than rant and rail and polarize people on issues. This kind of language "...pro-abortion and pro-sodomite..." shows just how bitter, angry and 'fringe' they are. Their God is the Old Testament God, smiting sinners, rather than the New Testament God who tries to draw them to himself...

(Sorry for judging, but these people get me a bit riled up. No one is holy enough for them. They're more Catholic than the Pope...)
