The hardest part of Protestant Marketing?
I met an old friend, the pastor of my former Church, for lunch. After we ordered, asked him, “What’s the hardest part of Protestant Marketing?” He answered quickly. “All of us Protestants wish that Jesus had not said so very specifically to one person, in front of credible witnesses, ‘Verily, verily I say onto you […]
The first Protestant man’s Marketing Plan
Clever marketing leads people to choose one brand of car, soap, paint, candidate, denomination, or any other product over another. Broadcast and print media spew clouds of facts and feelings to influence choices. Marketing experts use every kind of media to put favorable thoughts about their clients’ products into our minds. Few know: the […]
Where the money comes from
Many are so worried about the economy that they forget about saving their souls. Many worry too much: “We’re going broke!” Understanding one thing helps you explain what’s going on to worried friends about where the money comes from. Catholic Fundamentalism realizes there is a one word answer to “Where does all that money come […]
Catholics live in, and are, bubbles
Catholic Fundamentalism has been posting Daily Columns for over ten years. Recently, this one popped up from catholicfundamentalism.com. It was an all-time favorite. I enjoyed re-reading it and hope you do: From June 27, 2006: Catholics live in, and are, bubbles. Trying to be a good Catholic keeps us from many popular activities. We are […]
Higher education, vast fraud.
Higher education is an attack on the middle class. Gullible children and their gullible parents are convinced that they should not marry and start working after high school. Instead, they go to “college”. They learn little of value. Many get so side-tracked by alcohol, sex, and drugs that they never get on track to have […]
Letter #17 from a Protestant minister.
Pastor Pitstop hasn’t called or written for some time. We were worried that he might be angry with us. Then, we got this letter. Pastor Pitstop is very concerned about Cody Cooler, the new Youth Pastor up at Mighty Mountain Mega-church. Dear Catholic Fundamentalism: It’s not fair! It used to be that when young people […]
Where does money come from?
Aside from those who are blessed with understanding the value of poverty, everyone wants more money. Money is a major interest for most people. Where does money come from? Money comes from government-owned printing presses. How do governments know how much to print? They don’t. Mostly, they print as much as they need. How much […]
The Big Yard Sale in the Sky.
Public Television’s Antiques Road Show features people and the valuable objects they find at yard sales, auctions, or estates. The show taps into two deep, universal, human desires. One is to be rich. The other fundamental desire is a deep longing to be thought by experts to be intelligent and insightful. A predictable line on […]
Can we blame everything on Protestants?
1. If all were Catholic, birth control and abortion would never have gotten started. We would not be sacrificing 3,500 babies a day to balance Babylon’s books. 2. If all were Catholic, Public Schools would not be taking, and largely wasting, such huge, impoverishing amounts from us in property taxes. Costs per student/year would be […]
A new thought about the underlying cause of Protestantism.
Catholic Fundamentalism has respectfully suggested that many people do not return to The Catholic Church because they want to have orgasms in relationships that The Church deems illicit. At first, it seemed incredible, even impossible, to believe that the entire Protestant establishment could have come into being simply to justify the desire for illicit orgasms. […]
