A Worthy Cause
Wow, today is turning into a great day. First the Holy See put a stop to Dallas fallout, and now I discover that the cause is open for Catherine de Huek’s canonization. As many of my readers know, Catherine is my favorite Canadian, Eastern Catholic and female author. Originally a Russian Baroness, she escaped the Communist revolution, came to North America and was received into the Catholic Church. She then became a popular speaker, made a fortune, and in answer to God’s call gave it all to the poor and founded numerous apostolates — the most well known of which is Madonna House. Heck, she even brought an ex-Catholic turned liberal Chicago reporter back to the faith. His name was Eddie Doherty, and he was so captured by Catherine he proposed to her. She was also a prolific writer. Among my favorite of her writings, you will find Sobornost, Not Without Parables, and The Gospel Without Compromise. Anyway, check out the new Catherine de Huek Doherty Webpage.
