Today is the Feast of the Ascension. The US bishops decided to "unburden" us peons by moving the celebration to the next Sunday (of course, they still charge $$$$$$$$$$$ for "Catholic" education & support DemonRats who trash the values of the Church whenever possible while using the Church to get votes & kick Prolifers whenever they can...)
I always hate this day because it's an important feast & we are forgetting a part of our Catholic culture. Can't wait till they move Christmas to the nearest Sunday... Opps! Don't want to give them any ideas!!
I know what the Church teaches & know how I don't measure up! And none of the bovine scatology about the Church having to change, either!
It seems to me that the leadership of the Catholic Church in America over the better part of the last fifty years has been at best embarrassed about the Faith or at worst antagonistic about the Faith. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!

Sancte Michael Archangele,
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae Caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Amen.
