Maybe it is Time for Another “Crusade”

May 31st, 2008 · No Comments

No. I am not talking about in the “classical” definition of “crusade”. What I am talking about is more on the level of Evangelization to combat the ravages of Relativism that is imploding our society.
It seems more and more that we are not allowed to express our opinion anything these days. Yet, [...]

Charities. Do we really give in line with the Teachings of the Catholic Church?

May 28th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I wonder how careful we are in how we donate our monies to charities.  Do we first research before we give or to we give without thinking.
It seem that there is articles almost weekly that brings scandal on a charity due to how they distributes funds or who it is associated with it.  Most recently, [...]

Common Sense?

May 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Reading the news these days, there is common sense in decisions that are being made.
One glaring example is the relief effort in Burma. First, the government there made things worse by blocking relief efforts and then the United Nations decides that one of the most important relief supplies is condoms. Somehow I think [...]

The Death Wish of the Secular Relativists

May 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Yes, it is another entry on the Secular Relativist.
The Secular Relativists have a Death Wish. No, not for themselves, but for everyone else. It seems like no matter what the so called “crisis” is, they seem to think population “control” (”control” is a code word for “reduction”) is the solution.

High food prices: Solution, [...]

What is the Greatest Threat to Today’s Society?

May 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Radical Islam (i.e. Terrorists)?
“Global Warming”?
Overpopulation?
The answer is none of these.
The greatest threat to today’s society is Relativism. On many occasions, Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out against relativism calling it a “denial of objective truth” and “the denial of moral truths.” Although it is too long to publish here, Pope Benedict states [...]

A Word on My Opionion of Today’s Society

May 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

From reading my previous posts, one would get the impression that my opinion that today’s society, as a whole, may be beyond redemption. Guess what…
YOU ARE CORRECT!!!!
As a whole, I believe large sectors of society today will not change and is leading those who embrace it into self inflicted destruction.
That does not mean that [...]

And the Implosion Continues…

May 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Another telltale sign of the implosion of society caused by the Secular Relativist occurred today. Today, the California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban.
On the subject of homosexuality, the Catholic Church is explicitly clear. The Catechism States as follows:
2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant [...]

Are Our Habits Feeding Our Enemies?

May 10th, 2008 · No Comments

When I say “habit, I mean our addition to oil and the enemies are the Radical Islamic Terrorists.
The answer is probably yes. Much of the oil money sent to the Middle East ends up in the hands of groups like Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the likes.
How? It is mainly through governments like Iran [...]

Revisiting: Is Speculation in the Commodity Markets Immoral?

May 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Awhile back I asked the question whether speculation in the commodity markets is immoral. Since then I have kept tabs on the commodity markets and am convinced more than ever that the commodity market have indeed become immortal.
Oil and food prices are rising on the mere hint of trouble (real or imagined) in those [...]

Is Catholicism and Socialism Incompatible?

May 5th, 2008 · No Comments

This was the jist of a question asked on a forum of which I am a member.  Although Socialism seems to have many redeeming aspects, I would have to say, in its current form, no.
Consider this. Liberation Theology which combined Marxism (the ultimate form of Socialism) and Christianity was condemned by the Church. Socialism (especially [...]
