Should I Let You Drown?
Should I Let You Drown?
I recently saw a thread on the page of a Facebook friend of mine that got pretty heated. The thrust of the “back-and-forth” was that no other person was qualified to call out the sins of another because they, themselves, are human, and just as fallible as any of their brethren.

Somewhere, Over The Rainbow ... Lies a False Pot of Gold
In my last contribution, I discussed the response of the “average, rank-and-file” Catholic, and a significant showing of apparently approving, even celebratory, responses to the Obergefell decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in June of this year.

Somewhere, Over the Rainbow ...
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision affirming the legal (if not moral) right to same-sex marriage, millions of Facebook users took to the site, altering their profile pictures with “rainbow” filters or posting some other affirmation of their apparent support of this ruling.
