I'm not dead, I promise!

Hello all. If no one is reading this I really can't blame you - I haven't updated the poor blog in months. However, in a matter of weeks (five to be exact), I will graduate, have B.A. after my name, and I promise to begin blogging again in earnest. After all, with the economy the way it is, I am not likely to have a job!

This past semester has been rather hellish in terms of work so I just haven't had time to blog. I knew that if I started posting I wouldn't want to stop. There has been so much to talk about: the Bishop Williamson debacle, the Holy Father's trip to Africa, Archbishop Dolan's appointment to New York, the anticipated appointment of the new archbishop of Westminster, the election of Patriarch Kirill, the vicious attack by 'The Tablet' on Fr. Finigan......the list goes on and on. Soon....oh so soon I will have the time to say my two cents worth (probably worth just about that much).

You see, once I get started I just can't make myself stop. By the way, keep reading The Blog of the Courtier - it really has become one of my favorites!

One final thing: please pray for the Holy Father. We need him to keep going strong and I do worry about him and the abuse he receives from the press and his own flock at times. And pray for me too if you have the time, please. I'll certainly do the same for you.

Now, at last, I will sign off. Expect a grand return in the middle of May (who knows, perhaps before!).





Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis!
