The New Indulgence Calendar for June is out. If you are interested in taking part in this devotion You can download it here:

If you have a loved one who has died and you wish them included in next month’s indulgence calendar you can leave their name in comments or post it as a prayer request at the WQPH Prayer wall site here.

It’s now been a full year that I’ve been doing indulgence calendars. As far as devotions go it hasn’t caught on huge, it’s not a flashy thing, there is no great controversary involved, it’s not something that produces outrage on either side of the theological aisle and there is no money involved. It’s just prayers for the dead many who get forgotten so it doesn’t get a lot of notice..

There have also been a lot of “interesting” problems that have come up since this has begun. As a Catholic I take it as a sign it’s worth my while so you can expect us to continue for another year at least.

The Right sees school shootings as a problem to be solved to save kids.

The left sees school shootings as a political opening to be exploited against their enemies.

That’s all

Delaying repentance of sins because you have all your life to do so is a risk like the driver in today’s Indy 500 who was in first but delayed pitting too long so when a car crashed behind him he had to take a penalty to fuel up that might cost him the race.


Nothing is more empty than a leftist following the rent-a-crowd protestors under the theory that they are doing something virtuous when they are in fact try to find meaning for themselves that real life hasn’t provided.


I know I’ve said this before but all those folks who keep trashing western civilization, oil, nuclear energy and industry are in danger of being reminded that the natural state of humanity is starvation and scrounging to find food to feed themselves and shelter from the elements.


The more I see of the modern left there more I’m of the belief that they would not only exterminate or enslave us if we were unarmed, but would consider it being virtuous.


The number of fully vaccinated and boosted famous people who keep getting COVID doesn’t surprise me as much as the fact that this development hasn’t convinced the majority of the public that they have been played big time.

Funny how the left is using the Texas shooter to tell us we don’t need guns when it turns out the armed people that they provide us with (the police) were unwilling to act. ‘

I would think that this demonstrates that we need armed citizens more than ever.


It’s rather insulting to see singers cut and run over the NRA convention because of the school shooting. The whole: because one person is guilty all the innocent have to be punished should be beneath them but it’s even more insulting to see fools in congress doing the same. I hope conservatives remember both in November and when it’s time to spend their entertainment dollars.


It’s been three or four years since I suggested the easiest way to permanently solve this problem is recruiting a group of ex police/military among the grandparents to act as armed guards in schools. Not only would such sixty somethings be highly motivated to protect their grandkids schools but they would serve as excellent role models for the kids.

That’s why it will never happen, the left goal is not to protect kids it’s about having an issue to run with politically and disarming the American people who they see as serfs at best and enemies at worst.


You know there was a time in living memory when schools were awash with guns and with gun clubs yet these type of school shootings never ever happened. By an odd coincidence these were times before prayer was removed from schools by judicial fiat and when corporal punishment was removed by the cultural fiat of those who had no respect for what they now call the greatest generation.

Hey, the left wanted a post Christian society where the principles of “Thou Shalt not Kill” and “Love your enemies and “pray for those who persecute you” were gone. So that Godless society, how’s that working out for you?


Finally what the Democrat/left would really like is a Uvalde every other week from now till election day to change the subject from their horrible performance in office. Of course Don Surber pointed out a rather obvious bit of reality that the Democrats have been providing a Uvalde every other week when it comes to kids getting shot in America and that’s just in Chicago

Don Don Don Don Don, don’t you know that since those kids are shot in Democrat Cities controlled by Democrat Mayors and Democrat City Counselors and Democrat activists (all places with though gun laws btw) you are not allowed to bring this up as it doesn’t advance the narrative that is being advanced?

When I see Elizabeth Warren or Gavin Newsome of Beto outraged over the biweekly Uvaldes that take place in Democrat cities then I’ll take their outrage seriously. Until then they’re to be ignored.
