John, Cardinal Newman

John, Cardinal Newman has been declared “Blessed” by The Church, and is on his way to being Canonized. His life as a Catholic affected me and millions of others in a positive way. It was John, Cardinal Newman who made one of the most famous Catholic statements: “I am created to do something or to […]

Differences.

Each person has a scent that’s identifiable to his or her dog. From that fact, we may conclude that each of us is shedding molecules that are unique to us. Each of us also differs in voice, size, and shape. St. Augustine wrote that “It’s absolutely miraculous that God was able to make so many […]

Martin Luther. How Right Could He Have Been?

In writing about the Moslem threat to Europe in the 1500s, Martin Luther was torn between looking at them as God’s rightful punishment of sinful Christians or as enemies that should be stopped. Amazingly, it actually took him awhile to decide what should be done. At first, he made the amazing assertion that they were […]

Hate and Fear, Together in the Left.

When we see how vicious and mean leftists are, we all wonder, “Why do they hate so much?” That question was asked, for about the billionth time, when this comment was made public: “In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote of seeing Rush Limbaugh having a […]

The Trinity

It only pays to argue with people who are smarter and know more if we think we gain by being embarrassed. So, when we want to find out about the Nature of God, we turn to the smartest, most knowledgeable people who are closest to Him and see what they thought, rather than arguing with […]

The Three Frogs of Rev. 16;13-14

16:13 “And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; 14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather […]

Giving Back to the Community

Nearly every speech by, or about, some successful person includes the phrase, or some close varient of, “giving back to the community”. Such accolades are never worded “giving to the community”. The subtle inclusion of inserting “back” into the phrase makes it sound as if “the community” first gave something. When we consider whether or […]

Viruses abound.

The first column of each month is about Catholic Fundamentalism, which puts forth the idea that God is able to program energies and particles that He then compiled into systems and beings. His most complicated programs, we human beings, have had free will since our ancestor, the first Human Program, was downloaded. An early exercise […]

Plants are Comparatively Helpless

When we see a big tree growing where some Highway Department has decided to put a road, we realize that the poor tree just can’t get out of the way. Even the strongest trunks and the deepest roots are helpless before chain saw and bulldozer. Similarly, when we spray Round-Up on a patch of weeds, […]

Taking up Collections

Some of our most ridiculous contests concerns collecting programmed entities. One of my neighbors has a large, enclosed trailer that has had a sign professionally painted on it: “Whoever Dies With the Most Toys Wins”. Another sentence, also expensively painted on it, informs us that “This Trailer Contains Big Boys’ Toys”. We are meant to […]
