What should be the Goals of the “Next Real Crusade”
August 17th, 2008 · No Comments
This is the third in my “Next Real Crusade” series and maybe the most important since it will determine the success of the Crusade. For me, there are two main goals
Conversion of the Person: This is probably the most important since all else is predicated on this. The main goal should be the [...]

Where to Target the “Next Real Crusade”
August 16th, 2008 · No Comments
This is a follow up on yesterday’s entry “When will the Next Real Crusade Start”.
Once people have been trained (and maybe even beforehand), we also have to consider where to target this crusade. Four general groups come to mind:
Catholic dissenters (i.e. Progressives, Schismatic Traditionalists)
Non-Catholic Christians (Protestants, Orthodox, and Fundamentalists)
Non-Christian Religions (i.e. Muslims, Mormons, Hindu, Buddhists,….)
Non-Religions [...]

When will the “Next Real Crusade” Start
August 15th, 2008 · No Comments
There has been talk on web about starting various Crusades on the Internet in an attempt to convert people away from the perversions of the Secular and Relativistic world. However, I see, other than informational, these have limited influence and lifespan. I also see some as being limited due to agenda driven ideologies [...]

Is it time to Excommunicate “Catholic” Politicians and Other “Catholics”
August 7th, 2008 · No Comments
This from my parish’s bulletin (edited to remove some of the more “colorful” parts) on June 22, 2008:
You got the news that our pro-babykilling Governor has again vetoed the ban on partial birth abortions in the State of Michigan. Partial birth abortion means babies being murdered as they emerge from the womb. Her infamy [...]

Why does Everyone think they deserve an Escalade
July 31st, 2008 · No Comments
With the rise in fuel prices, the overemphasis on materialism that this Relativistic society covet has come back to haunt many people. Those who drive those oversized SUV’s are now having to make a decision on whether to trade their status symbols in for something more practical, go without other “necessities” like Starbucks, or [...]

What Kind of Soil are You?
Consider the first part of this Sunday’s Gospel:
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them [...]

When is Enough Enough (Desecration)
July 10th, 2008 · No Comments
Take the following two headlines from the Catholic League’s web site:
Florida Student Abuses Eucharist
Minnesota Prof Pledges To Desecrate Eucharist
Both of these reports of desecration and threat of desecration have occurred in the past two weeks, but these are not the only affronts to Catholic Christianity. You cannot go more than a [...]

Why do we continue to reject Christ
July 6th, 2008 · No Comments
Two portions of the readings from Mass today got me thinking, why do we continually reject Christ.
From the Gospel:
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you [...]

The Intolerance of Tolerance
June 29th, 2008 · No Comments
We are constantly bombarded by the Relativist with that we should be “tolerant” of their opinion. However, these same Relativists are some of the most hypocritical people on the planet due to there intolerance of anyone who does not believe in the same false truths the espouse. In fact for them, the definition of “tolerate” [...]
