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.
Well, I did say this was a Catholic blog...

Excellent! I am so happy you directed me to that. I don't know who is Ben Akers but he is so right on! In an atheistic world of no priests or pastors, who will speak with the voice of moral authority? Celebrities? Ha! Politicians? Double ha! Only the religiously charged can speak with moral authority against moral relativism. And that fundementally circles it back to only God sets moral values, otherwise it's all relative. Great article Auntie.
The problem is that children rioting is news, Pope holds mass rally isn't, unless you happen to be in the city that hosts the event. Children can get attention far more easily by behaving badly than by behaving well.
