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

In a Nut shell!
Thank God for our present Pope.
The World hates Truth. They crucified Christ for it. The Pope is only following Him as did all His great saints.
We should all aspire to do the same and to get the same treatment shows we are doing it right.
I'm struggling with a few Benedictines in a couple of monasteries near where I live. I love them, and for the most part, they're generous and hospitable, and kind, but there are some things that have come up the past couple of years that are disturbing. One is a "Spirituality Center" and that seems quite redundant to me, isn't that what a monastery is?? But the things I've seen them 'condone' are Reiki, Enneagram, Yoga, Zen, Tai Chi, and assorted "social justice" things/talks that are not very concerned about the "spiritual" souls of 'the poor' and lumping the War in with abortion which is ludicrous. Trying to speak the Truth in love is hard, but I keep trying. Not sure how long I should be involved. I do like them, but find their 'open mindedness' a little "too open" if you get my drift. Any input you could give, or words of advice would be appreciated. I love your show on EWTN re: the Crusades. God bless.
