The only nun in my interviews had an interesting take on the conference:

She would have liked to have seen more facebook and twitter. Her twitter account is saintsfortoday

It’s spooky to meet nuns clearly younger than me. I’m really not used to that.

One of my many Nephews (Italian Family you know) has very little in common with me: I am bald he has a full head of hair, He is ripped I am fat, I wear a beard, he is clean shaven, he plays several instruments from violin to guitar, I don’t. He is very single and looking, I’ve been married for 22 years, I am very Catholic, he is not but we discuss and debate religion whenever we talk.

We both however have one thing in common and that’s a very different set of priorities than the Ewock Women of Emily’s list.

The Ewock women of Emily’s list publicly support abortion with every fiber of their being. They consider it such a priority that they declare the willingness to sacrifice the lives of their grandchildren as an expression of love for their daughters.

My nephew Matt has told me that it is a Sine Non Qua before even considering dating a woman that she be pro life. In Massachusetts that really narrows the field, when asked he told me bluntly. “I don’t want to end up with any woman willing to slaughter our daughter or son.”

My no drugs, no booze no sex rules not withstanding, I would never want any grandchild of mine to ever think I disappointed by their birth. I would much rather see rings on fingers first, but whenever they come, I will be pleased to see them.

It’s is love vs hate. Matt and I love our children and grandchildren that we have never seen so much that we will sacrifice to protect them. The Ewock of Emily’s list, a group that is supposed to be exist to advance women in office, hate Sarah Palin so much that they proudly declare their grandchildren expendable.

I confess I was one of those who didn’t do much with our parish web site. The guy who does it now Mr. Caravella does a much better job.

His main focus is the podcast but he does blog as well:

This is our first interview with an extra guest star! Actually two since we had Susanne. Considering what a sweetheart Susanne is I can’t see why I had so much trouble with the camera whenever I tried to interview her, either events were starting or the camera acted up.
