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

Your beautiful, moving music video could not have come at a better time for those of us in the NY metropolitan area where our ANNUAL, PRE-CHRISTMAS CULTURE WARS have begun in earnest. The American Atheists erected a billboard on the NJ side of the Lincoln Tunnel in time for the Thanksgiving auto crowds. There is an illustration of a Nativity scene with the words: "You know it's a Myth; This Season Celebrate Reason." This week, an anonymous donor enabled The Catholic League to erect a billboard on the NY side of the Lincoln Tunnel. On that Nativity scene are the words: "You know it's Real: This Season Celebrate Jesus. Merry Christmas from The Catholic League." EWTNs News Director, Raymond Arroyo, wrote a fabulous opinion piece on his blog, Seen & Unseen, which you can access thru the main EWTN website. Sheila.
