By ( articles ) | Sep 18, 2004

Suppose you're a priest of the Diocese of Corpus Christi. Ordained in 1985, you're pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Mathis. It's Lent, and your thoughts naturally turn to almsgiving. You have $250 in your pocket and are inspired to give it away. To whom, or what, do you direct your alms?

(a) to the promising new Catholic college in Corpus Christi

(b) to another spiritual or corporal work of mercy

(c) to Howard Dean, whose ardent support for homosexual unions rivals his ardent support for abortion

If you're Fr. Jose Angel Salazar, your answer is (c).
