Is Forgiveness Natural?
The Melanesian people with all their languages had no word for forgiveness. In fact, it’s difficult to find the term in the languages of peoples and cultures unaffected by Christianity. This may be because the concept is foreign to human nature: injustice demands retribution. When Mosaic law adopted “an eye for an eye, a tooth […]... Read More

Supernatural Gift of Faith is Another Term for Spiritual Sight
Before sin entered the world and disconnected human nature from perfect union with God, our first parents were able to ‘see’ God through faith, by the unimpeded sanctifying grace that was offered (but rejected). This spiritual sight is restored by the grace won for humanity on the cross, albeit as a bit more cloudy and […]... Read More

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

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

Non-Christian monotheists (Jews, Muslims) seem to have a strong sense of justice on the micro level, but not the macro level. This is a bit perplexing.
