The Complementary Sexual Dynamic the Modern World Hates
Today’s first reading at Mass is the most un-PC in the New Testament (Eph 5:21-33), which, unfortunately, leads some clergy to avoid it out of lack of faith, lack of understanding, or cowardice. Yet, it offers a clear illustration of the beauty of the masculine-feminine relational dynamic, whose source is found the eternal relation between […]... Read More

When Killing the Innocent Becomes Inevitable
In one sense, abortion is inevitable in a society that rejects its Christian heritage. Human sacrifice was common and universal in pre-Christian times, as it is in post-Christian times with abortion. Original sin created such vile in the human heart that killing the innocent became a common way of cathartically soothing it. Christ willingly became […]... Read More

Falsehood Leads to Two Extremes
It’s interesting that today’s post-Christian agnosticism holds two extremes with regard to the afterlife: there is no Heaven and everyone goes to Heaven. In other words, nobody goes there and everyone goes there. But this is the normal pattern that results from holding onto an erroneous premise. Some other examples: Modern societies that do not […]...
