Believe it or not, I'm Catholic.  Today we celebrated Our Lady of Guadalupe Feast Day (you know how us Catholics are a bunch of Mary-worshipers).

I work for a non-profit started by a woman driven who's by her faith.  For 40 years she's been feeding, clothing and housing the homeless.  She's an amazing and humble woman who's restored my faith, not in Catholicism or Christianity, but in the fact that wonderful things can happen when good people find inspiration in religious mythology.

Being a "Cafeteria Catholic" doesn't mean I excuse the criminal behavior of the church hierarchy.

Finally, here's a link that won't offend Christians.  A beautiful flash called Majesty.
