JEMAIL: Mangone, Mark (MC1977) disagrees with my ENDNOTE about The Bishops

Posted on March 22, 2010 by | Comments Off

Response to Endnote:

I grew up in the Bronx. There I was taught the difference between standing for something with your mouth or your hands and feet. It was in Catholic school that I was taught to be civically active.

The Roman Catholic Church has manned the trenches in the battle for the culture of life for all my life. They run hospitals that provide health care to poor that cannot afford it. They run orphanages and find good families for orphans. They run clinics to help more unwed mothers than any other church or several churches combined. Most of the other churches fight for there values with their mouths. The Roman Catholic Church puts more hands and feet into the struggle, and often pays a heavy price for doing this, all the while being bad mouthed by those who do much less.

Talk is easy and cheap. The Catholic Church delivers more action than any other church. It is easy to talk cheap and smear your political opponents or the Catholic Church. We need less bad-mouthing of the Catholic Church and more action.

Mark Mangone (‘77)

[JR: OK, the Bishops have said, "Don't!". Will they close the hospitals rather than do abortions? Well, it's passed. With no 'conscience exemption'. With all sorts of back room deals. With an expansion of abortion funding, as the White House basically admitted with the Stupak Executive Order. An EO that is NOT in the law and really can't 'override' the law. With imaginary funding and unbelievable cost estimates. OK, so let's watch for some action by the Church. They said "Don't" but it was "Done". If we actually get some response, I'd be pleasantly surprised. But, I expect the "King" to push the Church even more to the margins. Once upon a time, the Church was as you describe; things have changed. It's not talk, or smearing, to record the changes and opine why. We shall see what happens in the coming years. Thanks for caring enough to push back.]

PHILIP JOSEPH BRENDEL
AGE: 70 HOLMDEL

Philip Joseph Brendel, 70, of Holmdel, NJ, died unexpectedly at home on Sunday, March 21, 2010. He was born (August 11, 1939) and raised in Astoria, Queens by his parents, Philip Brendel and Mary Ana Brendel (Devera).

Prior to Bell Labs, he proudly served his country as an officer in the US Air Force from October 1963 to April 1966.

Away from work, Philip’s passion and joy was spending time with his beloved wife, Joanne and his three children, Philip, Eric, and Kirsten. Whether coaching his boys in T-ball or watching his daughter star in collegiate basketball, his dedication to his family was limitless. His big heart, gentle soul, and remarkable thoughtfulness will be sorely missed by all close to him.

Visitation will be on Tuesday, March 23 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 South Holmdel Rd., Holmdel, NJ.

CARTOON: Breen, Jerry (MC1971) gives us “The Doctor Michael Jordan”

Posted on March 22, 2010 by | Comments Off

201003220906.jpg

John: Here’s my latest cartoon. I drew it while waiting for customers at a caricature stand in downtown Baltimore the other night. It was almost summer-like and lots of people were out enjoying the break from the horrible winter just past. Interestingly, one passer-by observed the cartoon and explained to his wife, “Look! It’s Michael Jordan!” Go figure… Jerry Breen

[JR: Thanks, Jerry. Much appreciated. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American Sheeple. For the record, it's gonna hurt.]
