Aside: Mueller Story Distracting from the Police Raids?
Sometimes you just wonder something and keep the idea to yourself. Then, when someone else mentions it, you begin to think… “hmmm… I might not be alone in thinking that.” It’s human nature… we follow the latest sensational thing. Some call it the “watch the ball” sleight of hand politicians use. If a scandal erupts, do something outrageous. People…
Zuckerberg’s Facebook Church is Real … Don’t Misunderstand him
Recently, there was a bunch of hooey because Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said he thought Facebook groups could replace church for many people. I think he’s right. Unfortunately, I take the opposite stance that the Federalist took. They said Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t understand church. They explain that Facebook cannot replace church. See, Mark Zuckerberg Is Clueless About Church If He…
All Are Welcome? Gay Orgies at the Vatican? St. John Chrysostom has an answer
No doubt you’ve already read many reports of the police arrest of a high ranking Vatican monsignor. The police raided a debauchery of cocaine and “lusts among men” occurring in the apartment of Cardinal Coccopalmerio. This Cardinal has publicly stated that the church should emphasize the “positive” aspects of homosexual relationships. I don’t really need to bring…
If Gay Pride Was All About “Love”, then Why Do they Lash Out at Bishop Paprocki?
One of my favorite scenes from Casablanca is when the white-suited man comes up to the couple seated to dine outside. He is warning them that they must be careful in Casablanca… there are vultures, vultures everywhere! The man is grateful and thanks him for the concern. Then, he calls for the waiter and comes to realize that…
Father Hardon: How to Stop the Sexual Suicide
I was sitting at my desk one day and someone came to my office door and commented that they thought I was sitting in the dark. They say that because I didn’t have the bright fluorescent lights on, but let natural light come in the window. A little while later, someone else came and said the exact…
Replacing Condoms and Pills with Pride Parades
I keep telling myself that I’m not going to berate the rainbow itself. But… anyone that has been online this month, has seen enough of them. This month of June is supposed to be for the Sacred Heart. The same Lord who has that Sacred Heart in His human chest is ignited by a Divine love for…
Stargazing
Looking at the stars is, perhaps, the single best way to excite the imagination–i.e., to wonder. I can think of no other human activity that commands the attention of both body and soul. It is something that causes a person to both consider his beginning and his end.
The Immaculate Heart Prevents Modern Errors on the Sacred Heart
Notre Dame is still pushing the fantasyland of McBrien and Rahner’s process theology. But, this one thing about the Immaculate Heart of Mary prevents the delusional errors of making the Sacred Heart into a mere force of the universe that we must merge ourselves into. Rather, it is a real human heart that loves you.
SPECULATION: Pope Francis, Chinese Bishops, SWIFT, and Benedict’s Resignation
I have a pretty interesting idea about what might have been happening last month when Pope Francis (the Vatican) was discussing how Chinese Bishops are selected with the Chinese Government. VATICAN DESPERATE TO MAKE DEAL “AT ANY COST” Recall, that back in February, news reported that Cardinal Zen feared that Pope Francis was selling them…
Comparing Barron and Bellarmine on Luther
I think it’s worth it to compare yesterday’s news of Bishop Barron’s praise of Luther to St. Robert Bellarmine’s opinion of Martin Luther. In yesterday’s post about Barron’s post on Luther, I made several comments about Luther’s attacks on the Blessed Mother. Some thought I was wrong on this point. Father Hardon, when discussing the Blessed…
