St. Maximilian Kolbe: “No one in the world can change Truth!”

On the feast of St. Kolbe, it’s worth recalling this observation of his: “No one in the world can change Truth!” What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is an inner conflict.   …there are two irreconcilable enemies in the…

Bishop Paprocki is Stealing their happiness? !

You’ve seen the headlines by now:  Bishop Paprocki of Springfield diocese is going to perform an exorcism at the same time as the Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois signs a bill into law that enacts so-call marriages between persons of the same sex (as if that were possible anywhere in God’s creation).

A composite image featuring Pope Francis and Our Lady of Guadalupe with text discussing copyright infringement. The background is dark, with the figures in color and a prominent warning about stolen images. Text reads: "THE IMAGE WAS STOLEN! Despite the composite being fair use, it was also a beautiful composite, probably the best composite ever. Known by a lack of fair use knowledge anyway that it was stolen, but in 2023 - 10 years later - we got a demand for infringement and license fees for using 'Pope Francis' in this image - and they wanted a license fee as if we used a 8000x6000 size image on a commercial product making money off the use or something! We'd win in court - like in all those other cases we had to go through. But the cost of this litigation costs these days? You would very see your collage was fair use."

The Two Standards: Truth Incarnate or The Father of Lies.

Alternate Title: Liars are children of the devil by imitation. Recently, I saw a disgusting sight on Kevin O’Brien’s blog as people reacted to a post wherein Kevin exhorted people to tell the truth (he gives more examples in his post about this article). The comments are horrid and remind one that no matter how…
