About Me
- Name: Pro Ecclesia
- Location: Ohio, United States
A convert to the Catholic Church who became Catholic because of a belief in and devotion to the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. * A graduate of Baylor University and the University of Virginia School of Law. * Former Mayor of the Town of Columbia, Virginia. * Married with four children: two boys and two girls. * Primary interests include the Catholic Church, family, Early American History, and law/politics * Primary purpose of this blog is fostering enlightened discussion about the roles played by the institutions of religion, family, and state in our daily lives. * Under the protection of St. Thomas More, martyr, and patron of lawyers, judges, civil servants, politicians, statesmen, and large families (not to mention troubled marriages).
Thomas More, counselor of law and patron of statesmen, merry martyr and most human of saints:
Pray that, for the glory of God and in the pursuit of His justice, I may be able in argument, accurate in analysis, keen in study, correct in conclusion, loyal to clients, honest with all, courteous to adversaries, trustworthy with confidences, courageous in court. Sit with me at my desk and listen with me to my clients' tales. Read with me in my library and stand always beside me so that today I shall not, to win a point, lose my soul.
Pray that my family may find in me what yours found in you: friendship and courage, cheerfulness and charity, diligence in duties, counsel in adversity, patience in pain -- their good servant, and God's first. AMEN.

Prayer to St. Thomas More for Lawyers and Judges
Dear Scholar and Martyr, it was not the King of England but you who were the true Defender of the Faith. Like Christ unjustly condemned, neither promises nor threats could make you accept a civil ruler as head of the Christian Church.
Perfect in your honesty and love of truth, grant that lawyers and judges may imitate you and achieve true justice for all people. AMEN.

"Give me the Grace Good Lord, to set the world at naught; to set my mind fast upon Thee and not to hang upon the blast of men's mouths. To be content to be solitary. Not to long for worldly company but utterly to cast off the world and rid my mind of the business thereof."

Litany of St. Thomas More, Martyr and Patron Saint of Statesmen, Politicians and Lawyers

Racism is a fundamental belief that people of different "races" are fundamentally different and that because of these differences they should be treated differently.
Therefore, anyone who votes for Obama because he is partially African is a racist. They believe that this somehow makes him fundamentally different and better qualified to be president.
A thinking person should reject the first premise - that the "races" are fundamentally different in any way that matters. Therefore, Mr. Obama is not more or less qualified to be president because his father was African.
That's their new jingle?
Alright then, color me a racist: just don't call me a democrat.
Even if I did vote for Mr. Obama, it would not be the first or second time that I voted for an African American. Then again, they were Conservatives. Too bad we cannot accuse White people who don't vote for Conservative African American of racism.
OHIO JOE
Too bad we cannot accuse White people who don't vote for Conservative African American of racism.
Yeah, I didn't hear that refrain here in Maryland in 2006 when Michael Steele was running for the Senate, or in PA or OH with regards to Swann and Blackwell for that matter. I guess whites can only be prejudiced against left-wing African-Americans.
Exactly right, Ohio Joe.
I don't remember them making this argument when Ken Blackwell was running for Governor.
I hope he told that to all the "racists" in Maryland that didn't vote for Michael Steele.
