“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Prayer Before Using The Internet HERE
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
My own skills in the kitchen suddenly appear weak and pale.
Luke: I will pass that along to the staff of this excellent Chinese Restautant.
It looks like a foodstuff to which species 8472 would be highly allergic! Mmmm….
You are an evil man. Torturing us culinarily impaired types.
Regarding the platitude, I’m going to guess that the person who coined that saying never bothered to look around the room at all of the blank stares. How appropriate that our word platitude comes from the French word for “flat”. At least when the sayings are quotes from Confucius there is an element of truth in them. Like, “An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.” If I had anything to do with it that line would show up in every fortune cookie from here to the next election. Maybe then we would see a change that we can live with.
Are those better-tasting than ‘platitude cookies’, Father Z? [No such thing.]
(BTW, thanks for responding to my email)
I can’t help to think that recounting the story of the ‘Constitution’ took some minutes off your life…. Peace, <] ; )
Great coincidence, we also had shanghai dumplings last night.
Is this in MN? Can you make a recommendation?
Can only be The Tea House….

I live on the Illinois side of St. Louis. We have one good Thai restaurant, one good Japanese restaurant, and one good Vietnamese restaurant and the rest of the pack is horribly homogeneous Chinese food. The closest good Chinese place is in one of the western suburbs of St. Louis. Sadly we’ve had a number of closings of good Chinese restaurants in the area, including the one which I discovered Chinese food and people in as a kid. (This lead to my Sinophillia.)
So far I have not found good “xiao long bao” in Miami. This looks good….I am hungry!!!!
