Could Distributists Use The Current Crises For Their Advantage?

November 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Yes, I know it weird question, but one that needs pondering.
Global Capitalism has shown its flaws and they have been amplified by the current economic downturn and financial crisis.   Both have shown that bigger is not always better when it come to the economy.  What has even made it worse is the Socialist “engineering” (more [...]

Is Global Capitalism Promoted Greed?

November 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Is it?  In my opinion, yes in two ways.
The first is Capitalist Greed in terms of control and wealth.  Bigger is better.  By controlling a larger percentage of an industry or industries, the global capitalist controls a larger portion good and labor for that industry.  This means he has more control prices charged and labor [...]

Time to Start on a New Framework for Society

November 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Over the past couple of months, I have been exploring various ideas related to society.  I have come to the conclusion that the prevailing ideologies (which includes Relativism, Materialism, and Liberalism) are not working and are actually harming society to the point where implosion is likely.
Therefore, I think it is time a new framework for [...]

Yearning for a Simpler Life

This is a tangent on Saying Goodbye to Materialism and Is it Time to Start Thinking about Setting up a Separate Society?

Society has been caught up in the trappings of Materialism, Relativism, and Liberalism for too long and is paying for it now. In the past 150 years or so (over 200 if you [...]

Is Relativism Just another form of Slavery?

October 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Yes, I am at it again.  This time on Relativism.  Consider these words of then Cardinal Ratzinger at the Mass just before the conclave that would elect him Pope Benedict XVI:
How many winds of doctrine we have known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of thought [...]

Saying Goodbye to Materialism

October 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

If one thing has come out of the current situation is that Materialism is not conducive with the goal that one should have in life. That goal is that we should live our lives in accordance with God’s Natural Law based on the teachings of Our Lord.
The greed of Materialism, along with its cohorts [...]

Is it Time to Start Thinking about Setting up a Separate Society?

October 10th, 2008 · No Comments

With the rapid implosion both economically and morally of society from the weight of rampant Materialism and Relativism, I think it is may be time.
The failed experiment of social engineering of the secularists that stared around the French Revolution is finally showing it decayed fruits. Moral barriers are falling almost every day and show [...]

Reading the Root Causes of Todays Societal/Moral Woes

September 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Being a student of history, I am a firm believer that history is a good source to understanding the roots of today’s liberal societal and moral diseases. This includes reading the writings of people who, let just say, are the bases for these ills.
Some of these people I believe are the basis are Karl Marx, [...]

Rejecting The World (a Follow up)

September 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This is a brief follow up on the post “Rejecting The World”.
WorldNetDaily has an article titled: Record 259 corporations honored for ‘gay’ support.  In it there was a link to the companies that made the list.
Part of rejecting the world is to avoid (if possible) those who knowingly support and advance the perversions of the [...]

Rejecting The World

September 6th, 2008 · No Comments

No. I am not talking about a complete removal of one’s self from the world.
From St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans:
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not [...]
