Evangelizare. Evangelizare. It is a command from our Lord. As a cardinal, this is probably the highest of all your many responsibilities. It is the one instruction from our Lord that the lord gave his disciples above all others. Take every opportunity to evangelize. Go bravely into the belly of the beast and evangelizare our enemies. Their eyes will open and they will see that our Lord has been waiting for them all along. They will repent for the damage they have caused and they will become the champions of Christianity and the Lord’s Roman Catholic Church. Does it remind you of anyone you may have read about?

Cardinal Dolan,

I am an ACTIVE participating Catholic and I am so upset with this weeks bulletin insert from the USCCB regarding “The Challenges of Forming Consciences for faithful Citizenship”. I am sure you have a copy of it and you approved of it correct? I will not go into the whole letter, but I call your attention to the part that say’s “The right to Life and dignity of the Human Person”. Please tell why we now have Racism on equal footing as Abortion as intrinsic evil. Please do not tell me it does not say that. Read it as if you were just an ordinary catholic seeking guidance from the Church on how we need to prioritize our thinking on how we should decide who to vote for. Again we look for guidance and we are left with the Bishops confusing us and that is exactly what Satan wants us to be, Confused!! I ask you to please bring clarity to this and be not afraid of those inside the Church that tell you otherwise. All my prayers and support for you and our Church. God Bless

All through my books, Jesus, as a main character, shows a very comical sene of humor. He even does backflips and juggles eggs that turn into chicken and turns bck into an infant, like the Infant of Prague. There is much humor and joy in my books. Take a look!

Yes Christ has Risen no doubt about that!
I’m having a Problem with Sorrowful Mary… I Love Her as every Mary.
I’ve just been so sensitive to her pain..to the point of tears at even hearing the sorrowful mysteries.

I don’t like fear tactics…and I realize that the Lord has freed me from fear… They cannot harm one whom is protect by the truth in the Lord.
I’m hoping to find My Joyful Mary very soon… Perhaps then I will beable to Rejoice and Be Glad In Our Sweet Lord Jesus.

Yes, I believe that God gave us the gifts of JOY and HUMOR as a mainstay in the midst of turmoil we see and experience in our fallen world. I do not follow Colbert, although I’ve seen snippets of his left leaning political jokes. I’m on the right. STILL, I Colbert’s comment about the word “consubtantial” reported in one of the papers crack-up to a LOL. Very witty. There’s a few ‘things’ God hates, but He loves all of us whether we are tainted left, right, radical, or worse.
