The Vatican has claimed to have found proof of a miracle in the recovery of Chase Kear after a pole vaulting accident in which he suffered traumatic brain injury. The miracle is being attributed to Father Emil Kapaun who died in 1951.
I’m not sure when the miracle occurred; whether it was before or after the [...]

You’ll Always Have The Poor
June 29, 2009Parishioners at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Melrose Park Illinois have melted down $75,000 dollar worth of gold to make crowns for their statues of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus.Yes, real honest to goodness crowns made of gold, like kings wear … for statues.

Pope Has Old Bones … Therefore God Exists
June 28, 2009Well, apparently Pope Ratzinger does occasionally enjoy the science, though, he does seem to have some problems interpreting results. A bunch of bones from the Basilica of St. Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome have been dated to the 1st or 2nd century, therefor they are the bones of the apostle Paul. Yep, sounds like [...]
Ark of the Covenant Revealed
June 28, 2009According to Weekly World News and World Net Daily are reporting that the infamous Ark of the Covenant is to be revealed in the Vatican … last Friday (6/25/09). So, do two notoriously bad sources equal one good source? Apparently not. Not unless every other news source in the world just happened to miss the [...]
The Gas Station Ghost
June 27, 2009Remember that Gas Station Ghost hoopla that a store owner in Parma Ohio was using to try to increase the business to his store? Funny stuff, sure. But the problem is that people actually believe in all that hoodoo voodoo and it reinforces superstition and uncritical thinking.

Religious Debate in the Hyborian Age
June 26, 2009It took me quite awhile to force convince Crystal to watch Conan The Barbarian with me. It is one of my favorite fantasy films, though, and pretty much the only movie I think Arnold does a bang up job acting in.
It may seem like nothing more than a piece of B movie schlock, but behind [...]
Is Michele Bachmann American?
June 25, 2009Is Michele Bachmann American? Let’s check her census form … what could be more American than an American census form?
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., won’t fully fill out the U.S. Census form next year, even though that violates federal law, according to the census bureau.
…
The other detailed questions, she said, amount to an invasion of her [...]
Exorcisms Are Sooooo Gay
June 25, 2009Manifested Glory Ministries, yet another one of those churches that are obsessed with homosexuality (yet, they’re totally straight, wink wink), posted a video on You Tube of a “gay exorcism” designed to rid a boy of … gay spirits, I guess.
“We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with [...]
Society of Saint Pius X in Winona, MN
June 24, 2009The Society of Saint Pius X (cousin of Malcolm X?) did some ordaining of a few priests in Winona MN last week.
An ultraconservative group plans to ordain 13 Roman Catholic priests in Minnesota – even though their elevations likely won’t be recognized by the Vatican.
Well, the Vatican doesn’t recognize most ordinations in the world. Really, [...]
