A very short,

but really great article from my favourite Catholic Worker site, Casa Juan Diego:

Do We Help People Who Shouldn't Be Here? Works of Mercy and Immigrants

What did the great Doctor

of the Church and saint, St. Augustine, have to say about the end of the world?


Order of Events before the Last Judgment according to Saint Augustine

There you go. You can look up 'Elias the Thesbite', too...

Thanks, Theresa Lynn!

Mercy

seems to be a term with which the California Parole Board is unacquainted...

Manson follower Susan Atkins is denied parole

"A panel votes to deny Atkins' request for release on compassionate grounds. She is terminally ill, and doctors say she has months to live. She is serving a life sentence for the murder of Sharon Tate."

The article talks a lot about what she was like, but what is she like now? Has she expressed remorse for her actions? It just seems hugely cruel...
