Regina, a/k/a Number 9, over at Catholic Alcoholic has ANOTHER blog that she posts to EVERY DAY! Living Sober through the Psalms is the name and daily blogging through the Psalms is its game! I previously recommended her primary blog in this post. If that isn’t enough, she is also on Twitter as drunkcatholic. So, …
On October 11, 2012, the “Year of Faith” began. Announced a few months ago by Pope Benedict XVI, the latest in a series of “Years of…” is intended to aid Catholics in learning more about their Faith.

There is a tentative plan for a new Catholic-based recovery network to start on Monday, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. OLG has nothing to do with addiction recovery, but I just think that it would be nice to start it on one of Mary’s holidays. I have sent emails to the people who …
