No less than five people sent me a link or video of Harrison Butker’s Benedictine commencement address. Yet it wasn’t until k read Ann Barnhardt’s commentary on the video that I decided to watch it.
Butler does indeed nail “it”. If you haven’t seen the video, please indulge yourself for 25 minutes.
And please check out what Barnhardt added to the discourse which is also (and as usual) insightful.
I had a root canal recently.
It could have been worse. I could have been tied down and forced to listen to Here I Am Lord. so you see, there’s always a sunny side to every situation.
May 22 is the feast of my girl, St. Rita.
Join in.

I’m at a college graduation this fine Mothers Day morning. It’s a “Catholic” university. A doctorate was just awarded for someone whose dissertation was titled “Social Antecedents of Password Sharing” or some such.
That giant sucking sound you just heard is the common sense of the human race being totally obliterated by satan and his minions at Big Ed.
Someone remember to hit the lights on your way out.
It’s that time of year. Congratulations to my nieces and to all the class of ‘24!
Ladies and gentlemen, this:
…is St. Catherine of Sienna.
St. Catherine held no degrees. She spoke boldly to cardinals and to the pope. She proclaimed an unpopular truth in the midst of a political and ecclesiastical firestorm. She was, of course, totally right.
She is a Doctor of the Church.
Recently, Peter Kwasniewski posted something to a social media page (brought to my attention by my sister since I’m not on any of that) stating that he had received much interest from people wishing to add their signatures to a petition that he and others have begun circulating. The petition or letter or whatever it is relies on the false-base premise that Jorge Bergoglio is now or ever was the Roman Pontiff.
What is laughable is that Dr. K. states in his post that only “credentialed” individuals (and even then only those whom he will thoroughly vet) need apply to sign the document. So only those chosen elites in the “club” are smart enough to make this kind of a call…
And that document…
The amount of mental gymnastics one has to perform in order to fail to see the obvious (he’s an antipope usurper) and then bend over backwards so far as to reach the conclusion that he’s a pope but a heretic; and that laymen can force his resignation leads to a medical condition known as Colo-cranial Syndrome. This is a malady wherein one’s head is literally up one’s ass.
But should I expect anything more from someone who places such a high value on a piece of paper hanging on his wall? As a very wise man once told me, “Rectal thermometers also have lots of degrees on them and we know where they end up.”
St. Catherine of Sienna, pray for us!
If you have not considered helping out this family, please take a look. Also, please share this by all means!
