It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

Maggie Dixon, Requiescat in pace.

Army women's basketball coach Maggie Dixon has died. She was 28 years old.

Always remember, kiddies, you know not the hour.


(KDKA/AP) VALHALLA, New York - The college basketball community is in mourning, after learning of the death of Maggie Dixon.

Dixon, was the coach of the U.S. Military Academy's women's basketball team and sister of Pitt men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon.

She died yesterday afternoon, but the news of her death wasn’t made public until Friday morning.

Dixon collapsed Wednesday at West Point. That morning, she had breakfast with her brother, Jamie.

Doctors say she had an arrhythmic heart epidsode, but don’t know what caused it.

She was hired a few weeks before the season began, and led the Black Knights to their first NCAA tournament appearance last month.

Maggie and Jamie are believed to have been the first brother and sister to have coached in the NCAA tournament in the same year.

Dixon says Maggie seemed fine when they had breakfast together Wednesday, but at a friend's house at West Point that afternoon, she said she wasn't feeling well and collapsed.

An autopsy is scheduled for today.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
