If you constantly tell me how busy you are (busier than me), yet you have a job where you are allowed to be on Facebook during work hours as well as frequently have time to be on Facebook during work hours to tell me how busy you are, I’m allowed to think that’s a load [...]

One great benefit of being home sick and then being on break from school is that I get a lot of time to read and listen to NPR. Today’s Talk of the Nation included a discussion on clergy burnout. Naturally, the NYT article on clergy burnout was initially discussed along with denominational strategies and programs [...]

I should have known, you don’t have to ask a surgeon to cut you. Silly me. I’m scheduled for surgery on the 27th. Still not sure how I’m coming up with that $2500 deductible, but I think going to have to ask St. Jude and my sainted grandmother. In related news: narcotics, even when taken [...]

Since when did “pastoral concern” become the new “saying this in love”? I think we all know that saying something “in love” is code for “I hate something about you”, but when you give “pastoral concern” for a child as the reason for kicking said child out of your parish school, I think that’s religious [...]

I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t, but… I found this too freakin’ hilarious. I shall not identify the author for his sake, but really? “Pope Benedict [XVI], the Pope of Christian Unity” Excuse me while I attempt to pick my ROTFL self off the floor and while I subsequently confess my sin of not honoring [...]

Why do we keep talking about the priest sex abuse scandal and hold up the solution (aside from properly reporting abuse to the authorities prosecuting their sorry asses) as removing those who commit sex crimes from ministry with children? I’m pretty sure if I were to ever be convicted of wrongdoing with a minor (and [...]

“I don’t know, I just keep thinking about what you said back in the seminary, how the life of a priest is hard and if you can see yourself being happy doing anything else, you should do that.” – Father Brian (Edward Norton), quoting Father Havel, Keeping the Faith There’s a little more that goes [...]

I need to find something else to do with my palms. I don’t have a garden in which to bury them, which is the conventional method. Why do I need to find somewhere else for my palms to be? Is it because they are yellow, splitting, and dried out? No. It’s because I keep finding [...]

I’m still alive, really. I know it’s only been a couple days, but it feels like I haven’t written in forever. However, you may not hear too much from me during this week. It might just be the busiest week I have inadvertently scheduled for myself yet. In addition to the usual work day[/evening], I [...]

It’s official, my voice has left me for the second time in six months without an indication of infection or allergy. I had an ENT appointment already scheduled tomorrow for my ginormous tonsils, so this will be a 2-in-1 visit. I guess I’ll get my money’s worth out of my specialist co-pay. I suspect vocal [...]
