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

I'd only add that the Church teaches despair is a mortal sin.
That Olympic closing ceremony revealed to me just how far British culture had fallen. If those are the things they are proud of and find indentity in, Lord help your country.
Don't give up hope, we've had redefinition of marriage in Canada for a while, I forget how long, it's hard to keep up with it all...but my husband and I have noticed an unusual number of young pregnant mothers around town this summer, with one, two or more children in tow...we have a Year of Faith coming up, and a Synod on Evangelization in October, Pope Benedict is off to Lebanon in September...if he hasn't given up then neither should we... I think God still has a few surprises in store....
