God’s love is infinitely bigger than we can imagine

One of the greatest barriers to religiosity this side of Eden is our limited minds’ inability to understand the paradox of God’s infinite love in the face of our finite being. God commands us to live the truth of our nature as He designed it and punishes the stubborn hard-hearted; AND he continuously seeks repentance […]... Read More

Conceptual Truths Point to God

Conceptual truths of math, science, logic and philosphy are immaterial and objective. We not invent them, but discover them by the intellect. They’re a reality independent of human minds and human creativity. Since conceptual truths, like the law of non-contradiction and the equation 2+2=4, have always been true before our existence, and will always be […]... Read More

Do as they say, not as they do?

Today’s gospel reading includes this from Matthew 23:1-3: . “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach.'” . Jesus speaks of […]... Read More

Be the Proverbial Child Who Mentions the Emperor is Naked

Whenever you imitate the proverbial child who says the emperor has no clothes on, people react in one of three ways. They: a) ignore you, rationalizing “he’s just a kid” (or a religious fanatic, or one who’s ‘out of touch’, etc.); b) attack you personally with the wrath of hell for daring to challenge their […]...

Reflecting the Trinity

Love begets truth, which together produces life. Likewise, truth is the form of love, which is inherently life-giving. This eternal paradigm of the Blessed Trinity reflected in creation corresponds to the truth of our being, i.e. human nature. Acts that contradict the truth of human nature can never be love, despite any subjective desire or […]... Read More

Necessity of Evangelization over Politics

With one disappointing election after another, we must admit that after 50 years of cultural decay, attempting to change things through the political process may be futile. Our nation as a whole has rejected Reason (the Logos) and embraced irrational power-driven hypocrisy that seeks to dominate others for one’s own selfish ends. This latter way […]... Read More

Those Who ‘Assign’ Rather than Recognize Reality

The notion of someone’s sex being “assigned at birth” has been made popular by people who believe we create reality rather than discover it. This aberration has become popular today throughout society. By refusing to recognize objective truth, people of this mentality reject that anything can be objectively disordered – unless we declare it to […]... Read More

The Two Psychological Orientations of Our Age

We all sense it. All you have to do is turn on CNN or MSNBC for 20 seconds on any given night to see it. It’s a fascinating phenomenon that has gripped Western society for several decades: Half the population thinks the other half sees everything upside-down and inside-out. Put another way, today’s world is […]... Read More

Building a Spiritual Second Floor without a Foundation

Every good parent (and good authority figure in general) in the beginning spells out with clarity what the boundaries are.  Analogously, when children know the acceptable area on which they can play, they then may be free to play to their heart’s content. The fence around the yard keeps them safe  from danger. This is […]... Read More

2 Kinds of Anti-Christian Humanism

There are two kinds of anti-Christian humanists today: those who hate the truth, and those who like it in theory but think it’s too difficult to live. The first kind rejects the natural order created by the Father; the second kind rejects the supernatural order won by the Son. The first kind is angry and […]... Read More

3 Levels of Human Life

The 3 levels of human life – vegetative, animal, and rational – are sustained by water, blood, and spirit respectively. Given on the cross from the human nature of Jesus, the conduit of divine life, is water and blood (Jn 19:34) and Spirit (Jn 19:30), to sacramentally nourish us in Baptism (water), Eucharist (blood), and […]...
