The Curt Jester
Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.
Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.

You rock Jeff! Thanks for keeping everyone informed on the bishops who actually have enough guts to do the right thing!!
Cheers for Bishop Vasa! May God remember and bless those few bishops who have stood up against the same ole-same ole!
Bishop Vasa is my favorite Bishop. The following is his website where he posts once a week. www.dioceseofbaker.org/the.htm He is kind but firm in his teaching.
I've send him a letter. Praising his principle.
Darned straight. The USCCB has no juridical authority. The bishop can act in his own diocese without the interference of the USCCB.
It's only a consultive paperwork thing anyway, meant to enhance communication between bishops, which it's apparently not doing now. More of a hindrance than a help.
words cannot express the joy in my heart at this moment!!!!!!! I ANSWER TO THE HOLY SEE I DON'T ANSWER TO THE USCCB.
