The Elevator Analogy

Our minds can understand vast distances.  We can take in, for instance, the fact that the stars are farther away than the moon and that the various parts of the earth are even closer.  We have been programmed and downloaded with the ability to understand physical distances.  We know that some things are closer than […]

People Are Not Equal. Why Should Their Votes Be?

People in what they think are Democracies believe in “One Man, One Vote”.   They will, without any reflection, think that to be the basis for a “good system”.  Many are fond of saying things like:  “Democracy may not be the best system, but it’s the best that’s ever been tried.”  Such sentiments are followed by […]

What Pascal Saw as “The Jewish Problem”:

Pensees was published 6 or 7 years after Pascal died,in 1662.  Twenty years after the first publications, Pensees was translated into English.  The book was a record of Pascal’s thoughts.  Why should anyone care what Pascal thought?  Anyone brilliant enough to invent whole new fields of mathematics that included Statistics and Probability Theory sees and […]

“He’s Just Going Through a Stage.”

“He’s just going through a stage.”, my grandmother used to say about anyone who was doing something that wasn’t too bright or not quite right. Catholic Fundamentalism expanded a phrase from Shakespeare, “All the world’s a stage”, into a theory of creation.  “The Loving Programmer can program particles and energies.  He compiled them into system […]

Fairness, Always an Excuse to Ignore God and Steal From the Poor

Gospel Jn 12:1-11 “Six days before Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. They gave a dinner for Him there, and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with Him. Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard […]

The Promises of Satan are Empty

Fidel Castro has been running the most brutal, sadistic government in the Americas since the 1400’s, when Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas instituted cannibalistic regimes that fed on human sacrifice. During his reign, Castro gave the most brutal, vicious, hateful people complete power over the Cuban people.  They slaughtered hundreds of thousands of their neighbors.  They […]

How old is the universe?

How old is the universe? Catholic Fundamentalists have no trouble believing how long ago The Loving Programmer wrote and downloaded The Creation Program, or as much of it as we needed to have provided for us. The Midnight Mass Liturgy on Christmas Eve/Day makes as clear as it needs to be when The Creation Program […]

Most Europeans are Semites.

Most pre-1850 historians believed and taught that European peoples began with Japeth,  one of Noah’s three sons.  This idea has been, and continues to be, widely spread among Fundamentalists of all faiths. Catholic Fundamentalism has another position.  The first Europeans were, it is agreed, descended from Japeth.  Around 720 B.C., the Ten Northern Tribes were […]

What is Catholic Fundamentalism? Catholicism for the Computer Age.

It’s a whole new, very old cosmology.  We don’t see the word “cosmology” very often.  We see lots of theories about Marxism, Leninism, Conservatism, Libertarianism, and other political urges endlessly explained. But, none of those things are concerned with knowing the “cosmos”.   Catholic Fundamentalism begins its theory of the Cosmos by realizing that The Roman Catholic […]
