Collected Works of Critters
“We don’t generally keep moose in the house, sir…”
There’s that, and Laura the Dog feeling guilty, and a cat and a ferret playing tag–relax for a few minutes with assorted critters.
Time for my nap!

Yes, Your Car is Spying on You
With the help of an engineer who hacks cars’ computers to reconstruct accidents, the Washington Post hacked into a Chevy Volt’s computer recently and found that “vehicles are recording their owners’ every move” (https://clarion.causeaction.com/2019/12/26/washington-post-hacks-into-chevy-to-show-how-much-cars-are-spying-on-owners/).
You name it, the computer records it–where you go, how long you stay, who you call on your cell phone, just about anything that has to do with being in a car. The engineer found that the computer that runs the car’s “entertainment system”–oh, please–is most vulnerable to hackers.
But General Motors would not tell The Post just what information it was collecting. Nor are they saying what they do with it! (Someone really should have asked that question.) Are they selling it? If so, to whom? Who wants that kind of information, besides the communist Chinese government?
Don’t buy anything that’s pitched to you as “smart.” It’ll probably be used to spy on you.
Jesu defend us.
Is the Vatican Losing Its Mind?
It’s been some fourteen years since I published my series of articles on paganism in the Church–that is, the Church that is the body of Christ, the brotherhood of all believers.
Paganism has not been purged from the churches. In fact, it’s been invited into the Vatican.
This year, at a Christmas concert at the Vatican, Catholic cardinals crossed their arms over their chests to “feel the heart of Mother Earth,” aka the pagan goddess from the Amazon, Pachamama (https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/pachamama-pops-up-at-vatican-christmas-concert). Look at the picture. You can see them doing it.
The show was hosted by a priest.
Uh, guys… maybe you need to go back to the Bible, huh? There is no “Mother Earth” or “Pachamama” goddess. The earth, you see, is a creation: the work of God the Father’s hands. There’s this little essay in the Bible–that’s the book that says “Holy Bible” on the cover, for those of you who haven’t seen it before–called Romans Chapter 1, and you should brush up on it. Really.
Meanwhile the pope himself rapped the “rigidity” of “traditionalists” in the Church–those are the ones he thinks are the bad guys, who stubbornly refuse to understand that “All of us,” as he says, “are called to build a global village of education,” yatta-yatta. You think Common Core was bad? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Don’t get cocky, Protestants. This stuff goes on in a lot of your churches, too.
“Who is on the Lord’s side?” Moses cried. “Let him come to me!”
You can’t serve a “goddess” and the Lord. It is inexplicable that this pope does not seem to understand that.
Church Excommunicates Scottish Hermits
Yeah, you read that right, it’s not fiction set in the Middle Ages: there are still hermits in the Catholic Church, and the Church on Christmas Day excommunicated the Westray Hermits–for branding the current pope a heretic (https://www.complicitclergy.com/2019/12/25/catholic-hermits-excommunicated-on-christmas-day/).
They didn’t mince words. In an article called The Declaration (see news link above), the hermits said Pope Francis I “has thrown the whole Church into confusion” and “by his utterances, his behaviour, his teachings and his actions, has shown himself to be indeed a great heretic.” They excoriated the pope for teaching that there is no Hell, for vacillating on sexual morality, and for suggesting that all religions are equally fine with God.
(Do you know any Catholics who are happy with this pope? I don’t.)
The hermits also denounced Catholic bishops collectively for their silence and inaction.
The bishop in whose jurisdiction the Westray hermits are based has declined to comment on the matter.
By Request, ‘What Child Is This?’
Requested by Joshua (I have to hustle, to post it before he goes to bed–oh, those pesky time zones!), this ancient and beautiful hymn, What Child Is This? Sung by Fernando Ortega. Oh, fap, my eyes are tearing up again!
‘New Words for Liberals’ (2015)
None of these behaviors has gone out of fashion since I wrote this in 2015; but since then, more leftids have added more violence to their repertoires.
Since Election Night, 2016, they’ve torn off the mask and bared their snarling faces. Somehow their side losing an election gives them license to attack people, either physically or by trying to destroy their victim’s reputation.
Or both.
‘I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day’
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote these verses in 1863 at the height of the Civil War, and on the heels of personal tragedy: his wife died in a fire, and his son was severely wounded in battle.
Sung by Burl Ives, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.
Funny Fish
Okay, they can’t sit in your lap and purr; but you can still have fun with fish. They can even get tame and friendly. My goldfish used to let me pick them up and put them in the sink when I had to clean their aquarium. I always fed them by hand.
And then there are a lot of funny-looking little fish which I imagine one might get attached to, in time.
There are even fish who get to be friends with cats. How is that possible?
