Today was back up to Coldwater in God's Country. We buried my wife aunt, the last one of that generation for that part of the family. Since she was that last one, there weren't that many at the funeral. The pastor was someone who grew up in my wife's neighborhood. So, it was nice. Unfortunately, all of her remaining children are lapsed Catholics. I guess they are fields for the "new evangelization".
This will probably be the last time we head up that way.
Also it snowed today. We were able to beat it home.
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.
