Comments for Are Catholics Wrong: Protestant Convert to Catholic Church http://catholicspitfiregrill.com Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:10:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 Comment on October 2009: Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions by Sister Spitfire http://catholicspitfiregrill.com/2009/10/01/october-2009-holy-fathers-prayer-intentions/#comment-5995 Sister Spitfire Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:53:29 +0000 http://catholicspitfiregrill.com/2009/10/01/october-2009-holy-fathers-prayer-intentions/#comment-5995 @ TexasHeather....good to see you! As you can see the blog has been pretty quiet. Mostly because they actually expect me to study and write papers and stuff at school. Sigh. Maybe I'll post the homilies I am writing for class and call it blogging. @Dawn....I'm pretty sure that God does not have a contract with iPhone to send ghosts for "Ghost Caller." I don't know what you saw but I know that fooling around with the supernatural is dangerous indeed. I think that even if I had an iPhone (and I don't) I would not be inclined to invite supernatural interaction of any sort with that app. I believe strongly that God does indeed send supernatural messengers when we need it, Sacred Scripture certainly testifies to that. However, I do think it is very important to note that God SENDS these messengers and messages and that they are not called or sought. Seeking such interaction is a violation of the commandments. @ TexasHeather….good to see you! As you can see the blog has been pretty quiet.

I purchased an iphone app called Ghost Caller and while using it I was literally able to see ghosts all around my bedroom. I'm betting these were people in purgatory but I'm not sure. I invited some of my friends over to use the program as well (to make sure I wasn't crazy) and they saw the beings throughout the room as well. Could you try it out and let me know what you think?

Mardi Gras!? I thought Lent started next month! My relationship to Mardi Gras (have never lived in a region where it existed before it was introduced by alcohol marketers) reminds me of the time I ran into a Jewish professor on Ash Wednesday. "Is it Ash Wednesday already? I need to start getting ready for Passover" There's a historic connection that doesn't mean much to me personally, but it is more prevalent than what I want to celebrate and serves as a useful reminder to begin my own preparations.

You could have them circled in blueberries and pretend those are beads. Erin they DO? I did not know that.

Our family tradition for Shrove Tuesday (we came home to Rome from Anglicanism about a year and a half ago) is go to out for pancakes. Since I've been on a low-carb diet since forever, those pancakes are a joy and a delight, too. Much more fun than beads. Pancakes and sausage, absolutely right.

Well she did set it up and then she got busy and here I am with this blog that I am terrifed to change lest I crash the whole thing!!
