New on the Blogroll: Denver Roman Catholic Examiner

I've added Denver Roman Catholic Examiner's Articles (Theresa Navarra) to A Catholic Citizen in America's blogroll. It's in the Media section.

As of late this afternoon, the most recent articles listed were:

• "Where can I get ashes in the Denver area?"
• "A Canticle for Our Lady of Lourdes feast day"
• "With God's help, you will accomplish things that you've never even dreamed of"
• "Look out, Santa, Father Joseph laughs jovially, too"

And, a bit farther down the list:

• "Oh, for the love of Mary! Addressing the alleged Catholic goddess fixation"
  (December 8, 2010)

It's a pretty good discussion about Mary, and the misconceptions some folks - Catholics included - have about her.

I had a soft spot in my heart for the mother of my Lord long before I converted to Catholicism. Nothing "spiritual" about it: not in the 'eyes rolled up' sense, anyway. She showed guts, accepting the assignment God had for her; and everything I heard about her indicated that she was quite clear-headed.

Besides, I'd read about the Cana incident.

Whenever we look to Mary, she has pretty much the same message as the one she gave the servants: "Do whatever He tells you."
