I made the Aggie Catholic Guide to Lent (thank you Mark Shea) it’s own special category in the sidebar. Am going to maybe build the category up a bit. Send suggestions. Thanks.
And yes, yes, I know I am behind on updating the sidebar with other great blogs I’ve recently started reading and recommending. Pester me if yours isn’t up on the list by Monday.

Please pray for a special intention for some missionaries in difficulty. Thanks.

Brad Warthen posts Clark Whelton’s What Happens in Vagueness Stays in Vagueness. Let it be a warning to us all.

And how to cut to the chase with your friendly but inexperienced evangelical door-to-door missionary:
Kind and earnest missionary asks, “If you died tomorrow, where would you go?”
Reflect. Give honest answer: “Purgatory.”
Silence. “Um, here, have one of these.” Hands over tract, quickly retreats to next door.
Perfectly nice kids, by the way, and nothing anti-catholic in the tract. Basic model plan-of-salvation, baptist version. Refreshing, really. Catholics could learn a thing or two.
Thanks for the link. If I were the sort of person who namedrops, I’d mention that Marcel is my cousin.
But you aren’t that sort, thank goodness. But I’ll be sure to tell everyone that one of my readers is kin to Marcel LeJeune. Because that makes me famous, right?
(Actually, I think it makes me famous just that you read here, cousin or no cousin. In local currency, anyway.)
