Francis by Patrick J. Marrin for March 10, 2025

From obit:Steven Robert Fry, 71, died February 19, 2025 in Topeka, Kansas. Being the good brother he was, he waited at heaven’s gates on Feb. 19 to welcome his sister, Carolyn, when she passed away later the same day.

Steve earned his Bachelor of Science in journalism from the University of Kansas, and a legal studies certificate from Washburn University. As a young boy, he dreamed of someday being a reporter. He loved interviewing and writing stories about real people. He had a penchant for weaving in obscure, but insightful details in his articles. His interest in history, and particularly military history, was often shared through his writing.

As a career journalist, Steve primarily worked as a reporter for the Topeka Capital-Journal, and later for WIBW-TV, Channel 13. He retired in December 2020 after 49 years of reporting and never missing a deadline.

Amen. We need the light of truth more than ever.

Some truths are going to be unpleasant, even denied.

the Light comes from the people who make the church. Not all churches are buildings with crosses…

Our Bishop stands ready to bail out any clergy arrested as part of a peaceful protest. We have been encouraged to speak out LOUDLY.

The truth is that part of the sin of the world is the RC Church’s failure to figure out how to ordain women.

Light comes from truth… truth is usually based on provable facts… very little in the scriptures is provable.

The Washington Post is the darkness now.
