Mr. D
GOOD FOR YOU. I find Olive Oil if not used at a very high heat and Coconut Oil to be the…Read More best. Giving my body good real food lets the immune system do what it was ment to do.
Thanks for the comment

Thank You for the comment. If I didn't take charge of my health I don't even what to…Read More think what would of happen. The Doctors not only didn't know they didn't care. I wasn't ill or at least my blood work said so.
Thanks again for your comment

When questioned after his release on bail, James Brown would only comment,
"Whoa! I feel good
I…Read More knew that I would, now
I feel good
I knew that I would, now"
as he started to dance in a funky style reminiscent of the 1960's. He subsequently started "chatting" about how Poppa's got a brand new bag or something like that.

Geraldine,
I pray for less hate in my heart as well...
However, one cannot reasonably make the…Read More inference that hate is associated with the comment I made above. In fact, caritas dictates that absent evidence to the contrary, with my comment and the motivation behind it, you must assume that I have done so in good faith and sound heart. Show me where my comment goes astray from caritas.
Yes, the Catholic Church is universal with its doors open to all human beings who are created in the image and likeness of God. However, although the Church loves sinners, It does not merely accept sinners, especially princes and principalities, without confrontation. Confrontation and instruction of the ignorant is a Spiritual Work of Mercy, one which has its foundation in Christ's cleansing of the Temple, John the Baptist's admonition of the Pharisees, and even St. Catherine of Siena's admonition of the Avingon Papacy.
Gov. Malloy is an unrepentant Catholic who has embraced and legally supported the Culture of Death. This isn't merely a political issue for the Church. Life is a fundamental issue with which Gov. Malloy has made himself akin to Pontius Pilate.
Now ask yourself, was St. John the Baptist motivated by hate when he excoriated the Pharisees as a "brood of vipers" for their "political" hypocrisy? Caritas can be tough and even abrasive, especially against the "princes and principalities" who I'm sure all see themselves as "good men with good hearts."

Geraldine, you are correct, the word Catholic does mean universal and all are always welcome. CK…Read More did not say Gov Malloy should not attend the Mass, only that he should not be speaking during Mass. That does not seem hateful to me, it seems entirely appropriate given his very public departure from church teaching, especially on the issue of abortion, which claimed the lives of 16,000 of CT's children last year. Do you see how it could be confusing to the laity to teach about the severity of abortion on one hand and then present a pro-abortion politician to stand up in Mass and speak to the congregation on the other?
Although all our welcome in our church, only those in a state of grace are permitted to receive communion. Is this born of hate? No, it is born out of care and concern for souls and reverence for the Sacrament. I would say limiting those speaking at Mass stems from the same desire. Having him give a toast at the reception would have been far more appropriate.
Additionally, According to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, the laity should not have a speaking role in Mass anyway. See USCCB website here http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/general-instruction-of-the-roman-missal/

The word "catholic" mean universal, for everyone. We do not turn people away, rather we…Read More embrace them as fellow human beings. Whatever political disagreements can be made, Gov Malloy is a good man with a good heart who has been here with Newtown and Msgr. through a trying time. As a catholic, I pray for less hate in your heart.......

Why do you repeatedly post this article with no updates since 10:48 PM on Friday May 17? Today is…Read More Wednesday May 22! The least you should do is provide up-to-date and accurate information.

Good for her. But I know a few who retired early and they found themselves bored to death. They…Read More were not well enough off to do all they wanted to do but retire early. A few went back to part time work to keep their sanity.
Every day being a Sunday is not all it is cracked up to be after a year or so.

They need to make that left turn signal a little longer than 3 seconds, though.
Mary Jaeger May 19, 2013 at 08:17 am
Great improvement! Not only is the intersection opened up but there is a left turn signal now.
Richard Hooker May 19, 2013 at 08:15 am
At least now you will be able to cross the road without someone running you over.

It looks like the Stratford town council fell a little short on this one. They should have re-named…Read More the high school after Victoria Soto and not just attached her name to a small street.
