Warning:  Some of the food may be tainted…

And the proprietor may be too busy trying to reinvent himself to care.  But hey, decide for yourself - his comment on the new-old Cafeteria here:  “Thankfully, my blog isn’t rated on the site you cite I consider my blog a personal rather than a Catholic blog with claim to orthodoxy (TM). Admittedly, ex post, the blog title was a bad idea. It was meant as a bon mot re: Ratzinger. Apparently, on the internet the accusation of ‘Cafeteria Catholic’ is ubiquitous. In my defense, I was a pup when I started. I hadn’t even known how far out some people are, Frequently, they have a lot in common, regardless of whether they’d be viewed as ‘left’ or ‘right’. Dislike for democracy and individual rights, for example.” - Vox Nova

His latest post here seems to confirm my earlier observations here.

I have to believe he really would like to change the name of his blog, but as he commented to me once:  “My blog’s really a personal opinion blog on many topics, not a ‘Catholic blog’ per se. With 2+ million visitors, it’s more popular than ever.”  And what assurance does he have all of those people would follow him to a new site?  Especially since it was the uber-Catholics who made him so popular (and contributed to his support) in the first place? 

“Oh!  I am blogdom’s fool!”

I may have to do a few critical posts - but I’ll pray about it first.

UPDATE: 

Answered prayer - Maybe another time. 

Is it true?

Not according to the Bush Administration.  The President and his men simply refer to it as an economic downturn, a market correction.

Recession?  No, no, no.

That said - it appears the world sees it differently than we do.

“We knew things were bad on Wall Street, but on Main Street it may be worse. Startling official statistics show that as a new economic recession stalks the United States, a record number of Americans will shortly be depending on food stamps just to feed themselves and their families.” - The Independent
