About Me
- Joanna Bogle
- Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance. Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.
God bless our new Pope Francis

Dear Joanna, I am in the US and just saw your segment on "Catholic Lives" with a representative of the Assoc. of Catholic Women which touched on a wallet card to continue hydration. This is a brilliant idea and I hope it would be taken as a legal request in England, but in the US in some states food and water are considered medical treatment and must be prescribed by a doctor. I have sadly found as well that even with a Power of Attorney for Health Care, doctors are simply not treating seniors and people with disabilities since they feel spending health care dollars on them is a waste of society's money. I also know from bitter experience that you can not blindly trust Catholic hospitals to be on the side of life either.
Anyway, now that I've found your "Catholic Lives" show I plan to continue watching. I also love your "Feasts and Seasons" show and your book "Benedict Code."
I didn't know you had this blog, but when I saw under your name on the program you were a blogger, I googled and found you. EWTN should give folks a link here (perhaps they have and I didn't see it?). I hope God blesses everything you do with success and you continue to touch hearts and minds all over the world with your enthusiasm and joyful presentation of the truths of our faith. Sincerely, Cheryl Walker, a US fan
