God wants to work through you, regardless of your circumstances in your office, your home, your social circles, your parish to search out and rescue those who have drifted or are starting to drift away from the Faith. All He needs to work with is a willing heart. Here are a few lessons from the life of St. Francis de Sales about how God can make you His coworker in the vast drama of salvation.

FYI, biblewonk is not a fan of the Catholic view of the Blessed Mother. Not one little bit...

"various subgroups of 'Catholics'"
Yeah, we have the moderates, the conservatives, the neocons, the Trads, the ultra-Trads, the integrists, the SSPXers. And then there are a few EOs and Protestants, including a Protestant minister who wants to be pope. Did I leave anybody out?
To: PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain
That's disgusting, Mack! LOL!

Oh Please, not wonky, Mack! Anybody but the wonk. I'd like Pat to stick around for awhile! ;^) All's fair in love and war!

Okay, I am ready to post the article (by Ronald Tacelli, SJ, from Envoy Magazine). It's a response to an interesting linguistic argument raised against the Catholic teaching of Mary's perpetual virginity. It's called "He's an Only Child."
I need one bit of help, though, first. Can someone guide me how to post the HTML version of the article, rather than plain text? Thanks. Once I have that secret knowledge I can be truly one of the initiates.
