‘I Want Vengeance,’ Said The Christian-Hater

. . .Maddux: It’s reached a point for me where I am actually Happy when someone who is Christian or Republican Suffers.  I didn’t use to be like that.  But in the age of Trump, it is what it is.  I really can no longer empathize.  I just realized that if Rod got cancer tomorrow & passed, the dominant emotion I would feel would be happiness.  Is this healthy? Probably not.  But it is what it is, in the age of Trump.  I wish you guys nothing but ill-will & when the Democrats control the levers of power again, I don’t want balance restored.  I want vengeance for all the things you guys did while in power. . .

Anti Catholic Cartoon by Tom Halliday of the Sunday Independent, Ireland (Credit: Fr. Z’s Blog)

Anti-Catholic Cartoon Reveals the Spirit of the Recent Anti-Life Irish Referendum

. . .a lay reader today alerted me to an opinion cartoon in The Sunday Independent in Ireland.  That sad, earthly-enslaved nation repealed by referendum the 8th amendment to their Constitution, which protected the right to life of the unborn.  The Constitution, by the way, begins in the name of the Trinity & says, “humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ”. . .
