What to do if Obamamania hits home

Voting for President of the most powerful nation on earth has to be based on more that swooning. Call me old fashioned, but aren't there supposed to be issues involved?

I'm banned on the Spirit of Vatican II

What a relief! I was worried that I may be compromised as a lover of Catholic Tradition, because I wasn't banned by the website, The Spirit of Vatican II. Thankfully, this situation has been rectified, and I am banned for the following reasons:
PH- Phariseeism
T+ Traditionalism
EM-Extreme Medievalism
RT-Radical Traditionalism
NC-Neo-Catholicism
My sympathies, Esther, on being banned as well, for your many throwback blogs, and your knitting activities, which prove you to be a victim of the oppressive partiarchal Church.
I guess we won't be invited to the Che Guevarra Day festivities. Darn, I was going to meet Hugo Chavez and everything!

Something to Chew on while you're waiting for the Motu Proprio

Keeping your sense of humor is important

I recently read an article entitled "Wired for Merriment; what's so funny about faith, hope, and Catholic merriment?" in The National Catholic Register by Eric Scheske, and decided to start a new sidebar entitled, "funny blogs". He discussed Catholic blogs at St. Blog's Parish, and lamented the dearth of humorous blogs. I really enjoy the well-known comic blog, The Curt Jester, and highly recommend it, and have just discovered, Catholic Cartoon Blog which is a Catholic Thomas Nast. Eric Sheske recommended Cacciaguida, seizethedei, and epression. I have just discovered the humor of The Ironic Catholic .

Sheske closed the article with a quote from Hillaire Belloc, "laughers are crude cousins with the Most High". My favorite humor quote is, "from sour-faced saints, O Lord deliver me, " attributed to Saint Teresa of Avila. As Catholics we know Who has already won this cosmic battle in which we are so passionately engaged. We just need leave from the battle once in a while.
