knarf, I think you're missing the humor of who received the email and where it was posted. FWIW, there are no live links out of the email.

I went to the blog and couldn't quite figure out WHAT was what

I fear for my sense of humor ... there's a lot of things I don't 'get' these days

hardening of the arteries as we used to say

[Alex Murphy]

The "Friends of CA" letter was posted there - and here - with all the same sincerity, seriousness, and solicitousness as these threads were posted on FR:

I just got a weird solicitation email from Hillary Clinton. Can I trust it?

"Catholic Answers, based in El Cajon, California, is the largest lay-run apostolate of Catholic apologetics and evangelization in the United States."

There's no reason to not believe it's real ... if you search out a matter

There's no reason to not believe it's real ... if you search out a matter I have no doubt that the letter is real. What's in doubt is the judgment of the sender.

Note here how Jesus replied to the first person to try out the idea of Mary worship.... (with credit to Skip Heitzig for this thought).

That’s funny stuff. I hope he sends in his survey. I’d like to read James Swan’s review of “Behold Your Mother.”

Evidently Catholic Answers bought a mailing list. I've also received some weird things from people who have bought a mailing list. I just ignore them.

I can tell when someone has bought a really old mailing list. They send something for my first wife, who has been dead since 1988.

Wait, Catholic Answers, sent such an email to a non-Catholic?

Why am I not surprised.
