“Now, let me be clear so that people can follow me. My religion outlaws sodomy and greatly shuns gay inclinations, gay relationships, and effeminate men. And if there are any such men in existence, then they need to be converted to normalcy. My religion says that God can be a jealous God, and that all other gods are demons, and that there is only one True Religion. All others are demonic lies. There is no such thing as divorce, and remarriage is adultery. We don’t live to be “greenpeace gardeners” of the Earth; we live to know and love God and one day meet Him in Heaven. And Christ didn’t resurrect to start up an NGO. He started a proselytizing organization on a mission during wartime to save humanity’s soul from the Devil. Also in my religion, the death penalty is one of the heaven-decreed penalties for a number of crimes. That is my religion.” - Laramie Hirsch (with permission)

Haunting Melodies: The Coventry Carol, the Holy Innocents, and a Mailbag Item
Today is the feast of the Holy Innocents.
My eyes immediately well up with tears when I think of these “little tiny children”, brutally murdered in infancy by the evil Herod. I’m a dad. I cannot imagine the anguish their parents suffered at the deaths of these little martyrs. But these infant boys all now wear the robes of martyrs and have a higher place in the Beatific Vision than I ever will.
Try to listen to this beautiful piece and not cry.
And following up on my post yesterday about the Ray Conniff Christmas Special, longtime reader “D. O.” writes:
“I find the Ray Coniff version of Carol of the Bells quite beautiful yet quite haunting. To the concern and dismay of my wife, I have often said that song will be the soundtrack when Real Catholic Men, myself included I hope, take up swords and ride horses to retake the churches and drive out the modernists.”
To that I say, “Right on. I’ll take the tenor 1 part.”

A Bit of Mirth
I’ve always been a fan of Ray Conniff and his Singers. There’s something about hearing pretty voices in harmony with a little touch of swing that just sets my heart and mind at ease. Also, I have long desired to host such a swing in’ ‘60’s Christmas party but only if I, too, can dress like a Century 21 realtor while serving smart cocktails to my guests.

She Gave the Church a Priest
About a month ago I posted asking for prayers for the mothers of two priests who were in their final agonies.
One of the two moms died in early December.
Today, the other woman also went to her reward.
She was young. So is her son.
As the priest announced during his sermon today on this feast of St. Stephen:
“Pray for her soul and for her family. We all owe her a debt of gratitude. Indeed the whole Church owes her that debt. She gave us a priest.”
She had heard the three Masses of Christmas from her son who also gave her the sacraments.
Is there a more beautiful way to head to one’s judgment?
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord!
SHARE! It's so easy.
A Proclamation
Merry Christmas to one and all!
