Smartening Up. StraighterLine.com

The nation’s student debt is equal to that of America’s total credit card obligations. For decades, easily bamboozled students have been loading up on debt to pay college tuition. The students are led to believe that they will “make it all back”. The students have been hearing lies. Some will never “make it all back”. […]

Get With The Program. Ask For Intercession

After St. Mary and St. Joseph, my three favorite Saints are St. Benedict, St. Anthony, and St. Bede. By the grace of God, I was able to spend my senior year of high school, during which time I was a nominal Presbyterian, at St. Bede’s, a boarding school and two year college. In that time, […]

Reading 1 Is 56:1, 6-7 Thus says the LORD: Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is about to come, my justice, about to be revealed. The foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, ministering to him, loving the name of the LORD, and becoming his servants— all who keep the […]

England, Collapsing. Europe, About to Collapse. America, in Their Sights

We have seen a concerted, organized attempt by the sons of Ishmael to take over the richest nations on earth. It is going on with the bribed connivance, and fear, of public officials in the countries that are being invaded. Catholic Fundamentalism Suggests a Remarkable Solution: It has been suggested that devout Christians, a minority […]

Look Around and Analyze

what’s going on with our friends, neighbors, and family members. When we see how well their lives are going, we see a relationship the world encourages us to overlook: The more closely people follow basic Catholic doctrine, the better their lives. When this analysis is made, even on the most perfunctory basis, one quickly sees […]

Manual work is largely demeaned by the lazy and self-important. “I don’t do manual labor.”, they say, proud to spend their lives doing as little as possible. Even the lowliest of lordly bureaucrats will “hire specialists” to do the simplest tasks. Vanity is destroying their souls while keeping them from any good accomplishments throughout their […]

Aristocracies Cause Debt Crisises in Every Age.

Before the French Revolution, French aristocrats impoverished their country while avoiding most taxes. They ran the army and navy, staffed the bureaus, and were fundamentally untouchable. As they appropriated more money for themselves, the rest of the nation fell so far into a poverty so deep that many preferred death and revolution. In England of […]

Stereolithography. Technology Meets Catholic Fundamentalism.

It is a routine process in prototyping shops to take a program, download it into a stereolithography machine, and program it to make a model of a part. Some of the parts made this way are as complicated as ships in bottles. The piece magically takes place within the tank of liquid resin. As the […]

Catholic Fundamentalism’s Less Than Modest Goal

The Church is fragmented between traditionalists on one side and modernists on the other. In the middle are those of us who just want to go to Church in this life and Heaven in the next. Catholic Fundamentalism can unite faithful modernists with traditionalists, simply by applying modern concepts to Church and Scripture. An example: […]

Fracking

About a mile below the surface of most of the earth, there’s a layer of shale that’s filled with natural gas. While it’s called a “fossil fuel”, natural gas is naturally formed from minerals and the heat produced by decaying thorium and uranium in the earth’s core. Most natural gas is sealed beneath the surface […]
