Let them marry
The Catholic Church is having a problem staffing the churches with priests in the area, as well as in the entire country. The answer is very simple — let priests get married. The rule for celibate priests is a manmade rule, not God’s rule. Wisconsin Catholic churches have already accepted married Episcopalian priests as parish priests, and they have been well-accepted and are assets to the community. There are lovely Catholic churches being abandoned due to lack of priests. These churches were financed by parishioners that are now seeing them desecrated and bound for the real estate market. The pope needs to wake up and meet the needs of all the Catholics by allowing normal, wholesome men to become priests.
More than one puppet master
More Top Picks Corsi Rosenthal Box
I found nothing wrong with your factual item about Stupid Joe Biden and his party of clowns. I hope you print another entry, and include how Americans pay five times more for our textiles and food than the U.K., and how inflation caused mostly by the Biden regime is hurting American families, the elderly and disabled. Joe Biden is to blame for the gas prices, and the rising cost of everything that is associated with transportation. Now Biden wants to buy oil from South America. Go figure, that’s where George Soros has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars and where Obama gave $10 million for oil exploration. Seems to me a puppet master is being revealed, but I believe there’s more than one.
Accepted with open arms
Who is an American? There were humans living here for over 15,000 years before the Vikings “discovered” North America. So who belongs? Well, I can trace my family tree back to Jamestown in the 1600s, and other parts of my tree only go back to being in the USA from about 1925. America is a diverse mix of races, colors, creeds, cultures, religions or atheists, all whom wish to improve the USA and should be accepted with open arms.
Prevagen Joe
So, a recent entry about President Trump being buddies with President Putin is not only stupid and untrue, but I fear for this person’s mental health. Putin would never have rolled into Ukraine under President Trump. Maybe Putin will join Biden on his weekend getaways to Delaware and eat some ice cream cones with Prevagen Joe.
You are a failure
If you’re stuck at home because you cannot afford the minimal increase in the cost of a gallon of gas, you — man or woman — are a failure. If you do not have enough money to fuel a vehicle to travel to where you want to go, you have not succeeded in life. You are a failure, and it is no one else’s fault but your own. If you do not have enough money to buy a gallon of gas and provide shelter for yourself and food, you’re a failure. And this country has provided every possibility to be a success. So, if you find yourself in this position and blame Joe Biden in one year’s time, after coming off a pandemic, and an attempt at World War III, you — man or woman — are a failure.
A lesson in perseverance
I just have to tell this story. On March 26, at Jewel on Green Bay Road, I was sitting in my car waiting for my son to come out and I started observing this very elderly old man, probably close to 90, and one of those tiny wheelchairs, with no back on it hardly. And it was cold and windy, and that old man struggled and struggled, pushing his wheelchair backward, pushing it with his feet. And I started noticing for every gain he made, the wheels would turn and then he would almost lose all the ground he just made. But that man kept going and going, and finally I figured out what was happening here. This man’s losing ground. It’s going to take him an hour to get into that store. I helped him, but I learned a lesson in perseverance.
