Fundraising Drive, Day One

Salve, friends, Catholics, brothers and sisters in Christ, my name is Robert Edwards, aka, Tito, and I am requesting of you to help sustain Little Vatican by your donations. Normally, the Edwards family budget pays for the vast majority of the operating costs, but times have changed.

I’ve done my level best to use low-cost or free premium services to run and operate Big Pulpit, The American Catholic, Catholic Stand, et al. Some of these services were free and now are charging. Other costs have risen and we’ve had to make difficult decisions to eliminate some services that our writers, all of whom don’t get paid, are no longer using that once aided them in writing their posts.

In order to properly operate all websites to their maximum benefit, we need you to make a monthly donation of either $5, $10, $50, or more. Our monthly operating budget that we need to offer all of our services right now is $4,000. So that is our goal, $4,000. Every little bit helps, even one-time donations.

“At a Loss for Words”: Bishop Barron Slams Michelle Wolf’s White House Correspondents Dinner Abortion Joke

. . .the other night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Michelle Wolf, who I’m told is a comedian, regaled the black-tie & sequin-gowned crowd with her “jokes.”  Almost all were in extremely bad taste and/or wildly offensive, but one has become accustomed to that sort of coarseness in the comedy clubs & even on mainstream television. . .
