About Me
- Joanna Bogle
- Auntie has learned, with mingled pleasure and amusement, that her Blog annoys some people, especially angry dogmatic ones, and entertains and encourages others of a gentler sort. This has confirmed her decision to continue blogging although Auntie's life is busy and she has duties and responsibilities which on the whole she knows to be of more importance. Auntie enjoys (although not neccesarily in this order)her work (writer, biographer, historian) and domestic duties, academic studies(Maryvale Institute), family, friends, and community responsibilities. She relishes the new translation of the Mass, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, her own excellent local Catholic parish, traditional hymns (especially, perhaps, Anglican ones) rain, good literature, sleep, the English coast, Autumn, buttered toast, and a number of other things too precious and important to list here. She feels priviledged to belong to a Church which produced John Paul II and Benedict XVI and she finds their teachings an inspiration.
God bless our new Pope Francis

What do you make of the resignation of Ruth Kelly from the Cabinent? In the press, she's often called a "devout Catholic." As an American, it's hard to tell what "spin" is put on a subject. Here, in the US, the presidential contest is ugly, racism rearing its head, accusations about Gov. Palin's personal life. It's very discouraging.
By the way, I am enjoying your series on EWTN, "Catholic Lives."
Love the "All boxed in" article, Auntie. I'm going to keep it to show to others!
