And More Rambling Feast Day of the Beheading of John the Baptist. Probably the most gruesome Feast Day.

Miscellaneous Rambling Wow, whatta weekend. The most iconoclastic president and pope in modern history start to wobble. (Link to Pope Francis cover-up story, if you haven't seen it yet [http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/ex-nuncio-accuses-pope-francis-of-failing-to-act-on-mccarricks-abuse] .)

More Miscellaneous Rambling M-Cubed: My Man Morlino! You gotta check out his letter to the faithful [http://www.madisoncatholicherald.org/bishopsletters/7730-letter-scandal.html]. It's not the "pray for the victims" tripe other bishops who are stuck in the "business as usual" mode are producing.
