spring-like day
the cat grapples
with a catnip bird
last of the sunlight
cows bounding

potluck
“tinyredcheck” npr’s Morning Edition had a segment today (April 14, 2005) that was
inspiring — “Stanford Students Tutor Service Workers on Campus.”
The Habla la Noche program is “a student-run organization whose
mission is to increase English-language literacy among adult workers
on campus and to create a connection between campus workers and
students.”
Before he left on yet another vacation break, my weblog friend Martin
Grace was good enough to respond to our request for input on a poll
question concerning congressional veto over Supreme Court decisions.
Thanks, to the RiskProf for a thoughtful response. In passing, Martin
questioned my referring to the concept of “fundamentalist” Catholics.
A quick Google search for
600 results. The phrase seems to be used by liberal-to-moderate folk to
refer to ultra-conservative (darn-sure-they’re-right-about-what-God-
wants) Catholics.
The nonliberal Baptist preacher, Dr. Jack Hyles said “A fundamentalist
is one who believes in the faith and practice of the original purposes
and doctrines of an institution.” For him: ” If you follow the faith and
practice of the original intents of the Catholic church, you are a fundamentalist
Catholic and go back to [Constantine in] 313.” If Catholicism went back
even further — say to 33 A.D. — I might re-enlist.
In 1999, “French fundamentalist Catholic priest on trial” was the
headline for a BBC online news article.
And, Martin, don’t be so sure there aren’t Catholics who take the
seven-day creation story literally. I’ve met a couple.
We’re #4! Speaking of Googling, this website has turned up as the #4
result in a number of queries that ended up on my Refer page already this
month:
how does George Globe light his grill> #4 of over 69,000 in a
Yahoo search.
cafeteria Catholic> #4 of 209,000 in a Google search
Debt Reduction horror stories> #4 of 592,000 in Google Search
shaming> #4 of 229,000 in a Google search.
The #1 result for “cafeteria catholics” is a very derogatory webpage from
ConcernedCatholics.org. You’ll find a comparison to “lukewarm Catholics”
on the same page.
Funamentalist Catholics don’t generate much heat! In contrast, “Traditional Catholic” had 96K hits on google and “Liberal Catholic” had 3.7 K hits on google. Even “crazy catholic” beats out “funda cath” with 2.8K hits!

As a man with a surfeit of academic degrees, and as a purveyor of mucho arcane language and concepts, I’m certain our RiskProf knows that lots of hits has little to do with lots of light (or heat).
Here are a few more results from Google searches:
“former Catholic” — 44,000
“ex-Catholic — 19,500
“apostate Catholic” — 679

No, that’s just a typical (for me) typo–I was trying to be funny with the Crazy Catholics!
