Re: Bishops need to address Trump immigration crackdown: Pope Leo
I believe we should welcome immigrants to this country. But I would expect them to "knock on the door" rather than "barge in." I don't see any way that expectation can be characterized as unreasonable or "inhumane." This entire post is save-worthy. Thanks for the thoug...

Re: Investments aligning with values
This is a really good question, and I hope someone with the expertise in this area will post a response. Meanwhile, I think you may look into what the Knights of Columbus may have to offer.

Re: I have new found respect for New Mexico!
I said it has a moon. Ergo, it's a planet. Obi-Wan pointed out it has several (five that we know of). To my way of thinking, this makes a more powerful argument than a single moon.
Point of fact, I was pretty sure it had two, not just one. So much to learn here!

I still consider it a planet. It has a moon. So there.

Re: Why is contemporary liturgical music so terrible?
Now, there's a term I need to work into my conversation. All I gotta do is learn how to pronounce it.

Re: Parents had enough.
When I first looked at this picture, I saw someone grilling burgers. Okay. Was he consistently burning them? Having read your post, now this makes sense.Highlander wrote: ↑Sun Oct 05, 2025 1:09 pm I used to have to go out in the woods to practice my trumpet.

Re: An intellectual's Halloween Yard display.
Absolutely agree. I read The Shining and 11/22/63 because my wife 𝚍̶𝚎̶𝚖̶𝚊̶𝚗̶𝚍̶ requested it. I slammed the book shut after finishing the second and swore I would never pick up another one again.

Re: Why is contemporary liturgical music so terrible?
Did you know that it is racist and white supremacist to be against arson? GIA publications think so. Incredible. Out of curiosity, I looked up this publication site. The front page asked "Where do you want to go?" Well, so many options! How about Elmira, New York? I've always wanted to vi...

Re: Why is contemporary liturgical music so terrible?
If you want a good look at the parlous state of liturgical music, read Why Catholics Can't Sing: The Culture of Catholicism and the Triumph of Bad Taste by Thomas Day. Here's one of my favorite lines: "An anonymous wag once defined the modern liturgical expert as 'an affliction sent by God, so ...

Re: Middle School and The Outsiders
I am frankly relieved to hear that there are still places that assign the traditional, modern childhood classics. I shudder to think of the alternative reading in other schools. Pfalk, be grateful the kid is reading this book. You realize she wrote this when she was a teenager, right? And that mean...

Re: The Great American Musical
I had the privilege to have performed in numerous musicals in local productions. The performers were amateurs, but not amateurish. I started in chorus and walk-on parts, then rose to Reb Mordcha in Fiddler on the Roof, Commander Harbison in South Pacific and the mayor of Whoville in Seussical the Mu...

Re: Weapon Control
It was a right wing government that bought in the gun restrictions. "Fascism" LOL . Once you use that word you have shown ignorance and lost the argument. Isn't Fascism generally used as a right-wing ideology? Let's try the ol' reliable Google search. . . [hums a couple of notes waiting f...

Re: Trump 2.0
Your last paragraph sums up my ambivalence towards him. When people ask why I voted for him, I shrug and say, "Given the choices, what else could I do?" But this also overlooks the tremendous good he has done, and bewails the good he could accomplish. If he could only SHUT! HIS! MOUTH! htt...
