The My Confessor app lets busy Catholic priests update their statuses from their phones. Currently, the app is only available for users in the Madison, Wisc., area. Heilman sees this going national. God may be omnipresent — but His priests aren’t. So a holy man in Madison, Wisc., has turned to app development, along with divine [...]

President Obama says Catholic schools cause division in Ireland
Posted by Jeffrey Miller on June 17th, 2013
President Barack Obama (above), repeated the oft disproved claim that Catholic education increases division in front of an audience of 2000 young people, including many Catholics, at Belfast’s Waterfront hall when he arrived in the country this morning. “If towns remain divided—if Catholics have their schools and buildings and Protestants have theirs, if we can’t [...]

How come we don’t have parades for the other deadly sins?
Posted by Jeffrey Miller on June 14th, 2013
Parishioners from St. Andrew Catholic Church, which has a longstanding commitment to social justice issues, will march in Sunday’s Portland Pride Parade with a banner proclaiming their parish identity, despite the wishes of Archbishop Alexander K. Sample. At least four Catholic parishes are expected to participate in the parade, according to the Rev. Tara Wilkins, [...]
Some good news for a change
Posted by Jeffrey Miller on June 13th, 2013
Nice to see some good news in regards to the Supreme Court for a change. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that human genes cannot be patented. Besides I think God could prove “prior art”. For details see the story by Rebecca Taylor over at Creative Minority Report.

There was a good deal of coverage regarding the recent case of a court awarding a women with SSA $170,000 after she was fired from a Catholic school for using IVF. The case gained attention partly because opposition to IVF has remained largely a Catholic distinctive. While supposedly the U.S. has become more pro-life in [...]
I am Curia (Pink)
Posted by Jeffrey Miller on June 12th, 2013
Over and over we are seeing with Pope Francis that some of the more interesting things he says are the things we don’t have transcripts for. What he has to say in public shows his frank style and this is even more so in more relaxed settings. The latest dust-up is over reports that he [...]
So what happened to “safe-sex”?
Posted by Jeffrey Miller on June 11th, 2013
It is interesting how the “safe-sex” advocates have been much less vocal. Sure you hear it discussed still, but nowhere like before. Previously I noticed in the whole free birth control pill debate that condoms and safe-sex seemed to fall off the radar. We were constantly told how sex was so safe with condoms. That [...]
Playing Pilot

(Vatican Radio) In a style that seems to have become almost signature of the current pontificate, Pope Francis stepped out of yet another scripted session to engage in a spontaneous question-and-answer period with hundreds of children and teens.
