Archbishop Naumann on Welfare and the State

This quote popped up on my Facebook newsfeed and I have to say that I see a lot of truth in this.  

 

"Part of my concern, which I expressed at the bishops’ meeting, is that people—who have good intentions and motivations—have too often looked to massive government programs to help the poor, yet we have a history now of almost 50 years with these programs and we don’t have fewer poor and we don’t have more people empowered. But we do have a weaker family life and weaker public morality. And so we have to look at it and ask, “Are these really the best ways to go about addressing the problem?' "

Day 7 – Your dream wedding

I know this is going to sound really lame, but I haven't a clue what my dream wedding would be.  I've been obsessed with the thought of getting married since I can remember, but I am too indecisive for my own good.  All I know for sure is that it has to be in a Catholic Church and I want to look absolutely stunning.  And the groom has to be 100% in it for life and be completely and totally in love with me and willing to die for me.  It's more the marriage that I'm interested in than the wedding, but I'm sure my wedding will be huge and fun and beautiful :) I just don't have any details on it yet...
