I recently had a dream. It was quite unusual for me. First of all, most my dreams come at night while I am asleep. However, this dream, although at night, wasn’t the solemn ground of deep silence and repose. This dream came in short but in great length in a vision [...]

Can you picture Barak Obama held by the ear, Father Politics forcefully leading him to the confessional to be cleansed of all his foreign policy sins? Those of us raised under the guidance of the Holy Roman and Apostolic Church, pre-Vatican Council II, are likely to appreciate best the meaning of telling [...]
I am rendering this an open letter since I seem incapable of soliciting a response from Barna Group, who were responsible for the publication of a study:

Despite the best efforts of the Luddite, Jim Crow bigots residing in the backwater town of Jena, Louisiana, the cap is about to burst on these white supremacists, who are in the process of committing what amounts to a lynching of several, young African-American males. This clinical lynching is being conducted under the veneer of [...]
