Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day! For a fine reference site on the Declaration, click on this post's title. You can read about all the signers there, including Catholic signer Charles Carroll of Carrollton.

Let us "breathe a prayer, shed a tear," for all who have died for our beloved country. May Almighty God, the Author of Life and Liberty, have mercy on them all and reward them all.

And if anyone ever tells you that our clergy and hierarchy may not say anything about politics and government, just tell them right back to study all the crosses in our military cemeteries at home and to ponder that our fellow Catholics have constituted at least a quarter of all the military men and women who have ever served, suffered and died for American liberty.

Our fellow Catholics have bought and paid for our freedom, and we will not be silenced now.

Keep up the good work, and I hope that LA is returned to Our Lady soon.
