I've heard everything now. Believe it or not, World Cup fans are apparently oggling a fish tank in Germany that contains a small brown octupus. Known as Paul, it is said to have correctly predicted the results of all six matches involving the German team and is now preparing to pick the winner of Sunday's final match.

"An office mate's wife is a fanatic Twilight fan, having come home early from an out-of-state trip to wait in line for 5 hours with friends to watch the midnight premier of "Eclipse". I read your blog about the new movie and how groups have formed gathering like-minded weirdos who are interested in vampires, etc. As my office mate jokingly refers to his wife's fanaticism, stating she's read each book multiple times as well as having seen all movies repeatedly, at what point would one question abnormal behavior (to me that is abnormal)? Another office mate who is "Catholic" is a Harry Potter fan and I just don't know how to contribute to the conversation without sounding like the bearer of bad news. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Recently a friend and I did a lot of research, and with it tried to convince our pastor that to stage Paul Winter's Missa Gaia in our (Catholic) church was to stage a New Age production. He would not hear of it. He did say that he would never allow if it were New Age. It's too late - the show (it was billed as a "show" in the local paper) went on as apart of an Earth Day 2010 celebration in our area. I attended and was predictably horrified. I normally would not have attended such an event but wanted to make sure that we were correct in our conclusions about this event. (I went armed with holy water, a miraculous medal, a St. Benedict's medial and a crucifix.) After I was told by my pastor that he just wanted me to pray for him, rather than to hear anything else that I had to say, my friend and I found a Vatican document that seemed to say that concerts could be allowed in churches but only sacred music could be performed. Could we have used that document to support our argument?"

THIS BLOG WAS REVIEWED AND UPDATED IN DECEMBER, 2019.
SL: "For fourteen years I have had hot flashes from menopause. Recently, I reached the end of my rope. In SC where I live there is a Dr. Susan Stegall on the radio. Her practice is called Integrative Health. I went to her office last week. She is not an MD but has studied alternative medicine. She uses a pressure method to determine where you need healing. The protocol (as she calls it) is then worked up and consists of homeopathic and herbs.When I went to her I had no idea of the technique she uses. While talking to me I saw her eyes focus on the crucifix around my neck. She made a point of telling me she is also a Christian. I use the protocol with my eyes fixed on Jesus and remain close to him. Am I in any kind of danger by seeing this doctor?"
