YOU have no enemies, you say?Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;He who has mingled in the frayOf duty, that the brave endure,Must have made foes! If you have none,Small is the work that you have done.You've hit no traitor on the hip,You've dashed no cup from perjured lip,You've never turned the wrong to right,You've been a coward in the fight. (Charles McKay)
After his death, I learned that Jim had been an Opus Dei numerary - a laymen living a celibate life.
Joe Tevington is a proudly orthodox Catholic, a husband since 1986, a dad to two adult children, a grandpa to two, and a civil service retiree. He is a sign language fluent certified rehabilitation counselor with graduate degrees in deafness rehabilitation, religious studies/moral theology, & Christian counseling psychology, as well as a catechetical diploma and certificates in benefits planning and Catholic social ministry. He deeply appreciates Catholic teaching on the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the transmission of human life, as well as how they are to inform us in our apostolates and ministries.
On much lighter notes, he fancies himself to be the foremost authority on his native Brooklyn, when it comes to architecture, cinema, geography, history, Italian food, stick ball, stoop ball, or wiffle ball.
