IRS tax deadlines are real

Congress could well debate the debt ceiling, tax reform and other important economic issues until the cows come home, but one thing’s for sure: if you don’t pay your income taxes – or at least file for an extension – by April 15, you could be in for a world of financial hurt.

That’s because the IRS probably won’t give you a break on the penalties it levies on unpaid taxes unless you were the victim of a natural disaster, suffered death or serious illness in your immediate family, or experienced another catastrophic event.

RGOD2: White smoke and mirrors

Recent events at the Vatican reminds me of a visit to St Peter’s Basilica with my partner Frank Wilson. He was an English art historian and took me to Italy for the first time as a newly ordained priest in the Anglican Church of Ireland.

We were barely 25 years old and madly in love. I had to be closeted n my parish on the edge of Roman Catholic West Belfast, not as a Roman sympathizer (though that was well rumored in my staunchly Protestant parish), but as a gay man. It was still illegal to be gay in Northern Ireland then.

It doesn’t hurt that he has piercing blue eyes and a cutting jaw line, but this actor genuinely understands the rules of a sartorial gentleman.

Heart & Soul: Another look at bullying

It seems like just about every week, we hear about another young man or woman who has committed suicide as a result of bullying.

Unless you were thin, rich and gorgeous growing up, you can probably remember being teased and tormented when you were in school. Of course, not too thin, and not too rich. But if you were overweight, wore glasses, not good in sports or not part of the “in crowd,” you were probably bullied. And if there was any chance you could be LGBT, even if no one in the world knew for sure, including yourself, you went to the top of the list.
