How Jack Chick (Ironically) Brought Me To Catholicism
How Jack Chick (Ironically) Brought Me To Catholicism: Jack Chick is responsible for cultivating deliberate falsehoods and blaspheming Christ’s Church via his Chick Tracts. But it is one of those very tracts that helped nudge me along my conversion, and so it seems fitting that I offer prayers and a Mass for the repose of his soul. May he rest in the peace of our merciful Eucharistic Lord.

NPR: Clinton Rape Claims Are Nasty 'Old News,' But Catholic Priest Abuse Charges Never Age: “It's important to say right up front that this isn't a story about pedophile priests,” began the NPR reporter on Wednesday night....in a story with the online headline “Catholic Church Groups Fight Bills To Revive Old Sex Abuse Cases.” Some legislators want to put in a 'grace period' for new sex-abuse lawsuits outside the statute of limitations. The people who call their show All Things Considered didn’t consider this: Can we open the statute of limitations on rape allegations for Juanita Broaddrick to sue Bill Clinton? Would that seem fair?
