“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

"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.
I’m hoping we know the results soon after the polls close, because that will mean a Romney landslide. However if the current polls are correct then it will be close so we may be up all night nail-biting or even worse, waiting for days for recounts, etc. That is the outcome I worry about, as there is more chance for mischief (remember the machinations in Chicago in 1960).
Looks delicious. Your pictures are making me long for another trip across the pond. It has been way too long. As far as the smilie is concerned, I hope you have a good and joyful day.
I’m with Jon Patrick in thinking it might be such a squeaker that there will be days of recounts, etc.
And the machinations in CHI were not the most recent of dirty tricks . . .

No, there were the busloads of Somalis in Ohio being “assisted” by the Dems in their voting.
Our parish had a “patriotic rosary” last night. It was wonderful. Very uplifting.
Not to worry. Romney 295+ EVs.
Jim, I pray you are correct, but the polls are no help — you can find any answer you want.
“No, there were the busloads of Somalis in Ohio being “assisted” by the Dems in their voting.”
Really? Hmmm…where did you hear that (I am always so out of the political loop). I don’t doubt that there are many Somalis in Ohio – Columbus has the highest population of Somalis in the U. S. and I am sure that at least some of them are naturalized citizens, eligible to vote, but if foreign nationals can be “registered” to vote, doesn’t this show the overall problem with voter registration activities in general? No birth certificates need be presented nor proof of citizenship. Heck, there were campus canvassers trying to get people to register by simply signing them up. I usually have to show two forms if identification, such as passports, drivers license, etc., to get a job which even touches State or Federal monies. Should not voting registration be at least as restrictive?

Voting today (soon in fact). Praying.
A remarkable likeness!
Out of silly curiosity, who is this “Giuliani 1912”?
Aw, Some Guy, you ruined my “Rudy-in-a-time-machine-throwing-a-wrench-into-the-already-crowded-1912-race (take THAT , Wilson!)” bit! [wow, that’s a lot of hyphens] Well, you snooze, you lose (right, Rudy??), I guess.
It IS bizarre to have Giuliani and 1912 on that cup, though. Reminds me of my friend the classicist-turned-comic-book-writer who wrote “Tales from the Bully Pulpit,” an incredibly zany tale with Teddy Roosevelt (speaking of 1912!) time-traveling using H.G. Wells’ time machine. Something tells me that Rudy wouldn’t be quite as dashing a figure though…
Anyways, I don’t mean to sound cynical, but I will just enjoy a brief respite from the presidential race media-wise, at least for 6 months or so. Then it will be time for Decision 2016! Can’t wait!

I beg to differ, but Decision 2016 has already begun.
Just ask Chris Christe.

I am more than willing to attribute ulterior, careerist motives to politicians, but I think Christie has simply been trying to get adequate help for the citizens of his state. NJ was devastated by the storm.
He also strikes me as someone who knows well that short, fat guys stand little chance of being elected President. And he, like Colin Powell, well understands that his popularity would sag the minute he declared as a Presidential candidate.
