Teaching reading, parents, from books
Serious reading takes a hit from online scanning and skimming, researchers say
By Michael S. Rosenwald,
Claire Handscombe has a commitment problem online. Like a lot of Web surfers, she clicks on links posted on social networks, reads a few sentences, looks for exciting words, and then grows restless, scampering off to the next page she probably won’t commit to.“I give it a few seconds — not even minutes — and then I’m moving again,” says Handscombe, a 35-year-old graduate student in creative writing at American University.
But it’s not just online anymore. She finds herself behaving the same way with a novel.
“It’s like your eyes are passing over the words but you’re not taking in what they say,” she confessed. “When I realize what’s happening, I have to go back and read again and again.”

Wednesday, July 02, 2008On Father Damien of Molokai
- A Traditional Catholic Blog for England, the United States, and elsewhere...
The recent announcement that Father Damien of Molokai will be canonized in the near
future fills me with great joy. Father Damien (Joseph de Veuster) is one of my favourite
saints, and his recognition for a holy life by the Universal Church is an event I shall
welcome with happiness.
If any of you have not watched Aldyth Morris' Damien with Terence Knapp, I highly
recommend you do so. The one-man play is powerful and dramatically intriguing. It won
the George Peabody, Ohio State, and Christopher awards for the author and director. In
addition to those, the play won the PBS Honorable Mention for Drama and the National
Association of Educational Broadcasters Award for Art Directing. Ms. Morris died in 1997.
She also wrote similar dramatic interpretations, including one on Robert Louis Stevenson
and one on Captain James Cook
This is not the same as the movie called Molokai, which is fine and features an amazing
cast, but not as moving and spiritually profound as Morris' one-man play. However, it is a
good introduction.
This portrait of the saint reveals an understanding of the overlap of personality and grace.
I have set a prayer before Father Damien, and ask that you join me in this "special intention",
which is such a Catholic thing to do.

Well, I can eliminate two men
from the long list of those GOPers wanting to be president.
Jeb Bush and Chris Christie do not sound presidential to me, but stuck in a small, small world of their own.
I am looking at Ted Cruz, Marc Rubio and Rand Paul. As much as I like Santorum as a person, I do not think he is electable and I am a political realist.
As to recent discussions with friends, I can see that one of the defects of the Millennials and young Gen Xers is cynicism and a lowering of standards in their expectations for moral politicians.
We must not settle for liars and cheats. We must hold our leaders to the highest standards of morality.
Noblesse oblige might be dead, and we may no longer believe in a trained, even hereditary civil service, but we must pray and train leaders to exemplify moral strength and virtue.
Even the Greeks and Republican Romans held virtue to be necessary for leaders.
If we train our own children to be virtuous, we shall get virtuous politicians.
Cynicism is a sin. Period.

Repost on false marriages

It all started with a marriage once before......

Many readers make comments which indicate that they are not preparing for persecution. Daily decisions bring
us to the end decision. Such a decision as to stand for Our Beloved Lord, Jesus Christ, does not happen automatically.

We are prepared for such. Those Catholics who support ssm and abortion are no different than those who sided
with Henry, Elizabeth, and others against their former brothers and sisters in Christ.

Those Catholics who changed sides, left the Pope of Rome for the religious governance of Henry and Elizabeth,
did so for many reasons. The two greatest were status (titles) and money (bribes even from the throne).
The so-called enemy of the realm held on to the Truth of Scripture and Tradition. Those who left the Church, the majority, took their own immortal souls into their own hands.
Thanks to Wiki for the short list. I have left on the links for your perusal.

Act of Supremacy, passed by Parliament in 1534
Act for the Dissolution of the Lesser Monasteries and Dissolution of Lesser Monasteries Act, 1535

By this proclamation the relatives of seminarists had to recall them, or lose all civil rights. It was illegal to send t
hem any supplies. Jesuits and priests must be surrendered; anyone knowingly harboring them was guilty of
sedition and treason. http://www.catholictradition.org/Saints/campion.htm
From then on, it was illegal for a Catholic priest or seminarian to be in England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland. It was
illegal for the family of these men to help them.
All these persecuting laws were legal in the land, according to Parliament or royal decree.
If readers cannot see the parallels coming, I cannot help them more than to point out the historical precedence.
Some readers believe this will never happen. It has already started happening.
A couple had to close their bakery business and pay fines...
A young photographer had to pay fines....
A bed and breakfast couple had to pay fines and sell their house/business...
Teachers, who are faithful, are leaving the profession so as not to teach serious error...
An Anglican priest is being taken to court in the Hague for refusing to witness a ssm....
A new curriculum will make students learn ssm is ok......here, in America.....in England....

It was a false marriage which brought down the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church in England, and it looks
as if false, same-sex so-called marriages will do the same. But, this time, England will not be the only country to persecute the real Church.
This will happen in many, many countries, including the United States.

Scary Lady
Very concerned about this new movement and the number of Protestants supporting this pro-abort woman.
Also, she must be seen in this video below, showing her true allegiances.
Dangerous stuff. And, two so-called Catholic journalists (women) have come out supporting here. If they do this, they are endangering their own souls, as Hillary is absolutely committed to abortion and lgtb "rights".
