I’m writing this as a way to distinguish between St. James the Greater and St. James the Less. One has a feast day which is today, July 25th. One wrote the Book of James in the New Testament. I know one of them is one of the sons of Zebedee and the brother of St. …

As I stated in Part 1 of today’s Sacred Heart Friday post from last week (this makes sense only you read the conversation I had with the voices in my head that was transcribed in the Part 1 post) an alliance is always serves as a means to an end. Political alliances bolster the political …

Yes, I know this Sacred Heart Friday post is late. “What do you mean ‘late,’ Paulcoholic?” “I mean that it was supposed to be published last Friday.” “Oh, wow! That IS late! A whole week! What have you got to say for yourself?” “I wasn’t feeling all that well last week and wasn’t confident of …
