More legislative mischief in Connecticut

From the anti-religion legislators that sponsored the bill attacking the hierarchy of the Church in Connecticut comes a new bill attempting to ram the concept of assisted suicide down the state's collective throat.  Fortunately, due to another organized outcry of protest from Catholics, the bill has been tabled before it could be reviewed in a hastily arranged hearing. However, the bill is still a threat for 2010. You should know more, because more states are beginning to push for this sort of evil.  Find out more and get some great educational background materials from the KofC Website:  CLICK HERE.

Remember, It's CHRISTmas!

Keep Christ in Christmas!

Playing Catch Up

Thanks to the brothers who have been good enough to send me a few stories they've run across on other parts of the world wide web. If you happen to see something you think may be blog-worthy, send it along. Can't guarantee everything will get posted, but appreciate any help I can get in keeping it interesting:

• Worthy Grand Knight sends along a story about a bishop who's not afraid to let it be known he is in charge of his diocese. It's here.
• He also spotted this interesting juxtoposition on the meaning of the Eucharist in light of the old testament Hebrew. It's here.
• This should make you proud to be a Knight. We are muscle for the church, even when it comes to issues of morality like defense of marriage. It's here.
