Was this a take with Tipi before the shower scene or the birds attacking? I remember when I used to read the gossip rags, she was the supposed "cool blonde" Alfredo Hitchcock was said to be smitten with. Maybe the beautiful Kim Novak too, who knows.
Could be on my end too. My sign in does weird things too. Looks like it posted then poof gone. Not to worry O tried again to see if it stayed which it did.
So, today on local conservative talk radio the controversial host who happens to be a Mormon starts on Pope Francis. He repeated a lot of the charges we are familiar with as proven fact. In my area the local press is calling for resignations of Bishops.something I happen to support. Anyway the radio host asked for callers to talk about how this has effected them. No one called so far. So, what do you make of this? Is there a concerted effort to stoke this controversy? Or is it just another echo chamber repeating falsehoods and half truths? I do not know. I do not know about much any more.

I don't either dear wh but I do know this and will seek those who defend the faith in these troubled times:

One more and then I close. I live about an hour away from a group of holy priests from the Norbertine order. They have a monastery in Silverado, California and always invite the Catholic faithful to pray with them or attend Mass there. They have a wonderful; suggestion for these difficult times for us all and one I hope to follow:
"What can we do? When we come face to face with unspeakable tragedies and sorrows in this life – especially when they are happening in the heart of the Church or family we love, what can we do? TRY PRAYING THE SEVEN PENITENTIAL PSALMS!
When St. Augustine lay dying in 430 AD, his beloved north Africa was being overrun by the Arian Vandals and his diocese was under siege. Together with some fellow bishops who had taken refuge with him at Hippo Regius, he lamented the fact that their life’s great love - the Church in North Africa - would soon be in shambles. “In our common sorrow we groaned and wept as we prayed to the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation that He would deign to assist us in our trials.”
Augustine’s groaning and tears took on a more concrete form as death drew near. His biographer St. Possidius tells us, “He had the very few psalms of David on repentance written out and the sheets attached to the wall opposite his bed; then, while he lay ill, he looked at them, read them, and wept continually and copiously.” This is one of the earliest known instances of the use of the seven penitential psalms (Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143, or by the Vulgate numbering Psalms 6, 31, 37, 50, 101, 129 and 142).
Since Augustine’s time the practice became widespread through Christianity, especially in penitential seasons and in times when the Church needs repentance – and repentance takes place one heart at a time, starting with mine. If I repent, I help the whole Body of Christ to repent. This practice held a special place in the heart of St. Norbert and his Norbertine sons through the centuries.
So if you’re at a loss for what to do when faced with life’s most challenging crises, follow the example of the saints: TRY PRAYING THE SEVEN PENITENTIAL PSALMS!"
