It's easy to become overwhelmed and depressed by problems inflicted on us. Destructive groups, some in governments, work to make food, medicine, education, money, and energy needlessly expensive. It's hard to accept that a mere handful of bribed and lying officials can keep us from the things we need to have better lives. Some become angry.
The Roman Catholic Church has the power to reinvigorate those wearied by the eternal battle for truth, life, and freedom. That same Church also works to keep us from hating the lost souls who work to destroy us.
While it makes many on the left recoil in horror, a new approach to The Roman Catholic Church helps some to understand its timeless importance. Catholic Fundamentalism makes the triumphant, traditional wholeness of Aquinian Catholicism more reasonable, therefore, more approachable. It begins with a simple premise:
God is able to program particles, compile them into structures, systems, and beings with incredible speed, and have them move through time.
St. Thomas Aquinas defined God as "The Unmoved Mover". That worked well in the Iron Age, but we don't live there, anymore. Today, in an age where we rely on electron flows, we may think of God as "The Unprogrammed Programmer" of every structure and being there is.
We realize that He could have programmed an entire universe that looks, sounds, smells, and feels just the way it does. Then, we ask, "Did He?"
Some happy souls may conclude He's such a powerful programmer that He and His sub-Programmers (sometimes, angels act as sub-Programmers) programmed all creation in six days. Why did he go to all the trouble of programming Carbon-14, layers of fossils, and seams of coal? He wanted to give us, His most complicated programs, free will. We must be able to decide on our own whether or not to believe in Him.
The Bible is His inspired Programming Log. There's an Old Programming Log and a New Programming Log. The Programming Logs, in language we can understand, tell us what He has programmed.
Catholic Fundamentalism, like Ockham's Razor, cuts away the barriers that have been erected between us and the God Who loves us. We do not bring God down to our level. Instead, we see the immense power of the "Unprogrammed Programmer".
Catholic Fundamentalism helps us get rid of pseudo-intellectual clutter, like evolution and false alarmism. Then, we more clearly see that our souls are the most important thing we have.
To be worth considering, a revolutionary, new way of looking at the world must give better answers to old questions. In the "Books and excerpts" section of this site, there's a volume, "New Road to Rome". Download it at no cost. On page 115, you'll see the answer to "Who actually wrote Shakespeare's plays?"
After you've discovered the author of Shakespeare's plays, browse. Page 4 explains what "words" are. It's amazing that most of us have used words all our lives without really understanding their basic nature.
You'll enjoy The Lie Committee. Learn about "tomorrow's lies, today". Each committee makes up the latest smokescreens to further the other side's cash flows and goals. The Lie Committee is an ongoing soap opera. Even leftists go there to get the latest lies.
Every day, "Columns" relate Catholic Fundamentalism to the world around us. "Add to favorites" helps us keep up with the latest developments in Catholic Fundamentalism. It's the newest approach to The Church since Pascal invented probability theory and applied it to choosing a religion.
There are a couple of key points:
First: Your guardian angel can help you remember: "God programmed particles, compiled them into structures, systems, and beings with amazing speed, and has them move through time to give us free will." Any time you have doubts, it helps to remember that.
Second: If you are one of those happy souls who takes to Catholic Fundamentalism like a duck to water, don't be in a rush to tell everyone about it until you've passingly familiarized yourself with it. Tired souls need to find out about God as the "Unprogrammed Programmer". You may want to help them.
