Atheist Friend: You know Christmas is on Dec. 25th because its predecessor Saturnalia was on Dec. 25th? Christianity is really Paganism.

A blog by a burgeoning contemporary poet who is unapologetically Catholic. Though a new blog, expect to see postings about Advent, spiritual poetry that grapples with the Truth of being Catholic, as well as other decent published poetry.
A+ for the Jesus version of a meme.
