The Church is the Real Victim There is nothing more offensive to me personally as the defensive tactics embraced by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. In this installment of the "Playbook," we will take a look at how the RCC spins the sexual crime crisis to make the RCC look like the victim. Ignore the… Continue reading RCC Playbook III – The Church is the Real Victim!

RCC Playbook II — There is nothing we can do about it.
This is the second in a series of posts on the tactics in play from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and its apologists (the Catholic League of Extraordinary Idiots comes to mind). There is Nothing We Can Do About It There are three variants on this one. All have the same effect of the… Continue reading RCC Playbook II — There is nothing we can do about it.
The RCC Hierarchy Playbook, Part I
While glancing at my WordPress.com dashboard I noticed that this will be my 200th post on this blog. I am amazed I have stuck to it this long, although my posts have been less frequent as events in my personal life demand my attention.

Assuaging their own grief…
I have to admit that sometimes I get really angry over some of the comments that are sent in that, on the surface, seem to want to offer me encouragement but, in fact, are supportive of either the man who raped and beat me or others like him.

William Donohue, Catholic Hater in Chief!
I am just amazed at the antics of the President of the Catholic League, Mr. William Donohue. The more I read and watch the more I am convinced that the Catholic Court Jester has hijacked the press podium for the Catholic Church in the United States. In addition to his latest rants on Survivor's Network… Continue reading William Donohue, Catholic Hater in Chief!

Many changes…
This is a blogospheric (a new word is born) place holder. The last few months have seen many changes in almost every aspect of my life. I will probably get to most of them in the coming weeks. I have some things to say, some things to think on and some goals to accomplish and… Continue reading Many changes…
