I don't know why, but when I read this, I completely fell in love with it.  I have to say that I loved Doctor Who since before I was a Catholic, but I fell in with Catholicism for many of the reasons listed here as why Catholics love Doctor Who.  

 I just thought this was super cute and had to share it myself.  I found it at Molly Makes Do.


7 QTs - Why Catholics Love Doctor Who

Okay, to start off with - everyone should love Doctor Who, just plan and simple.  However, I've been noticing a trend on Pinterest of some of my favorite friends and bloggers pinning things in tandem to boards about religion and the Doctor and it made me wonder if there's a correlation.  Most of these women have admitted that they don't like alien movies or sci-fi TV shows, yet love this regenerating, time traveling heroic anti-hero.  In a moment of over analysis this is what I came up with.

So today for the Quick Takes I bring you the 7 (okay 8) reasons I think Catholics love Doctor Who 


1.  We love anything that operates outside of time and space.

      2.  We love ridiculous ceremonial clothing


        3.  We love social justice.
            4.  We love penance and forgiveness.

                5.  We love a good apostolic tradition

                 and don't forget those Holy Orders


                  6.  We love Really Important Women

                      7.  We love Miracles



                          8.  We love Ancient, Dead Languages

                          Potato Soup

                          By
                          During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once hot and melted together add the onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the potatoes and minced garlic to the pot and continue to sauté all of the ingredients for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and increase th
