Sodom, the U.S., and Death by Association
Today’s OT reading was about Abraham “bargaining” with God about saving the city of Sodom from destruction via fire and brimstone. There are a number of themes one could take from this story, including the importance of intercessory prayer. My priest chose the notion of guilt by association. He had a heavy accent so I […]...

Christ and Diversity
While God created a diversity of species, ‘diversity’ as the liberal elite define it never seemed to concern Christ. While He taught the inherent dignity of all human beings, He chose twelve white Jewish males to be the pillars of authority in His Church, one of whom he commissioned to lead it. There have been […]... Read More
Children, Race, and Deception
Nobody believes the far left cares about children. They wouldn’t vehemently support the daily wholesale slaughter of preborn children if they did. They also would have criticized Obama when he placed children of illegal immigrants in “cages” while processing adults, instead of waiting for the next president to display outrage. When Gov. Cuomo declared pro-lifers […]... Read More
Bachelorette Sends Contestant Home After Premarital Sex Talk
I don’t watch these foolish Bachelorette shows, but an article from foxnews.com today writes of an interchange on a recent episode between two self-proclaimed Christians. In the process it speaks rather loudly about the female psyche. (www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bachelorette-hannah-luke-sex-twitter-instagram-home) While discerning marriage (sic), the man admits of his discomfort with the young woman’s moral beliefs on premarital […]...

Headline: “Trump’s ‘Go Back’ comments Are ‘Destructive’ [and he Has] ‘Failed Badly’ at Uniting the U.S.”
The above headline is from a Breitbart article (www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/15/mitt-romney-trumps-go-back-comments-destructive-has-failed-badly-at-uniting-u-s/). As a former Romney supporter, it has become clear to me he just doesn’t get it when it comes to uniting the country. Only a person without deep principles would say what he said. Why is this? First, no president in my lifetime has […]... Read More
Progressive Privilege
I have already seen some people claim that Trump’s recent twitter storm against the female congresswomen is a sign of White Privilege. Here is my question: Isn’t it obvious that Progressive Privilege is much more prevalent today? When one mentions natural law or the moral teachings of the Church for example, which I think need […]... Read More

Scientism and Dogmatism
Scientism and secular progressivism “hate” dogma, but have as many dogmas as Christianity. Speak against one of them, like abortion or sodomy, and you’re attacked as if a blasphemer. The difference is their dogmas are not rational. In truth, what fuels these movements is not a hate of dogma, but of Christianity. Take a listen […]... Read More
Moral evil in the public sphere
There are basically three kinds of denial when it comes to sin: 1) denial of doing it, 2) denial of responsibility for it, and 3) denial that it is wrong. The first two are as old as mankind, illustrated in Gn 3:8-13. The third, which is gravest of all (cf. Is 5:20), not only leads […]... Read More
