I took the confirmation name Pius, believing we cannot be fully formed in our faith without the teachings of Pope St. Pius V, venerable Pope Pius IX, Pope St. Pius X, Pope Pius XI, and Pope Pius XII.
“Everyone should have the right to freely express their own view, which the Catholic church decisively recognized at Vatican II and still does today. This doesn’t mean, however, that every opinion must be recognized as Catholic.” -- then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in a 1979 homily

Other news, of the excellent flavor
My daughter is in her final year at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. A year ago, without letting us know she was doing it, she completed her own path to baptism and confirmation! This year, instead of doing anything silly, she spent Spring break with her chaplain (a fine priest) and other cadets on a trip to Vatican City. In two weeks, we will journey to Connecticut to witness and celebrate her graduation from the USCGA. We are so blessed.
