Archbishop Fulton Sheen is to be beatified in St Louis on the 24th of this month. I’ve just read of a murderous, terroristic threat made by one Jeremiah Robinson against the Archdiocese of St Louis. It’s difficult not to suspect a connection.

We have so far recovered layers of rich organic material that we believe could be the decayed top tier remains of the Ark. We are encountering multiple cavities, including one filled with mud and water. No bedrock or solid limestone has so far been identified in the holes drilled inside the formation. These current findings challenge claims that this is simply a natural shape made of limestone or bedrock. “In one of the holes drilled inside the boat, approximately 4–5 meters below the surface, The drilling system had already penetrated the overlying material, but at this layer, the operation stopped as we struck a layer so hard that the drill bit broke. Petrified or highly mineralized wood are both a possibility we want to investigate through third party lab testing.” -Andrew Jones, Vice President, Noah’s Ark Research Project This is looking promising!
Don’t be giving me any credit. It was C.S. Lewis (what a Protestant!?) that pointed this out, in my (shaky) memory. Things have simply continued to get a lot more pointy.
The defeat of the assisted-suicide bill in the English parliament is heart-warming. It is good to get a win. The new PM, Andy Burnham, did a lot better than I expected, abstaining from voting in a bill brought in by his own party. His call for more investment in palliative and hospice care was considered very helpful by the pro-life side.
Not sure if you seen my post about my dream a few nights ago @DeGaulle your post gives me confirmation and hope. quote below
Me too! I just added the intention for our world and Church leaders to my morning prayers about a week ago. Our prayers will make a difference!
It’s a Scriptural practice to pray for our leaders, I think. At the very least, it’s a time-honored practice.
1 Timothy 2:2 A Call to Prayer 1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone— 2for kings and all those in authority— so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. 3This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,… 1 Peter 2:13-17 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority, / or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. / For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.
