Between COVID restrictions and a full time Job It’s getting a tad rare for me to get out to cover events, however yesterday I managed to get to the Catholic Men’s conference at Assumption College where I recorded this week’s Your Prayer Intentions Show for WQPH 89.3 FM (Every Saturday at Noon and Midnight) and managed to get a few of my old fashioned short interviews in that I’ll be posting on and off for the next week or two.

Today’s interview is with folks from Thomas Aquinas College which provides that rarest of products, an actual Catholic Education at a Catholics College.

I would venture to bet that if you send your offspring to be educated there. They will not only graduate with a solid opinion on the existence of natural rights but will be able to define what a woman is in one try even without a biology degree.

A Silly Line from Moscow

Captain Darling: So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies.

General Melchett: Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhand war!

Captain Darling: And fortunately, one of our spies…

General Melchett: Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!

There are some things that are simply silly and this is one of them:

-Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out an air strike against a fuel depot in the Russian city of Belgorod on Friday, an incident the Kremlin said set an unfavourable tone for peace talks with Kyiv.

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said he could not confirm or deny reports of Ukrainian involvement in the strike as he did not have military information. The Ukrainian Defence Ministry and the general staff did not respond to requests for comment.

Accused?

Russia has invaded Ukraine and the two nations are currently at war with Ukraine. One of the general realities of war is that the enemy tends to make a habit of shooting at you and at military targets like ammo depots and fuel dumps.

How DARE the Ukrainians attempt to take out an enemy fuel depot inside Russian territory. Don’t they understand that while the Russians reserve the right to strike at targets in Ukraine they do not accept Ukraine’s right to do the same in Russia!

That response was so stupid you would have thought it came from the Biden Administration.

The indulgence Calendar for April is now available here.

This is a great devotion to pick up during lent. I recommend it to any Catholic

As it’s April fools day and I can’t think of a bigger joke than our current movement and media (plus I need to get my taxes done today) I will leave you with this Monty Python skit about Hungarian Phrasebooks

and we’ll finish off with this April Fools joke from the Yes Minister special that was the lead in to Yes Prime Minister. I think it’s one of the funniest scenes in the entire series

I have a horrible feeling that this is actually how most candidates for high office are chosen.
