Today’s Reading: The number of fish is important.

The number, 153, is worth thinking about. The Number 153 is the number of fish mentioned in today’s Gospel Reading from John, 21: “Jesus, on His third appearance after the Resurrection, said to them: ‘Bring some of the fish you just caught.’ So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one […]

How truthful is Babylon? How smart are you?

This wonderful list of false alarms was provided by Instapundit. Catholic Fundamentalism sees it as a record of big, Babylonian lies. As we read, we ask: How truthful is Babylon? How smart am I? After all, many of us read and heard these lies. Some of us believed them. When we wonder why things might […]

Great cartoon! Sums up schisms!

What Simple Lesson Do We Learn From Today's Post.

Why are there Protestants?

People often wonder “Why are there so many different kinds of Protestants?” It’s a good question. It’s been estimated that there are over 40,000 identifiable groups. Usually, new schisms begin when lower-ranking professionals in one denomination see an opportunity to strike out on their own. Much like starting their own business, assistant pastors often break […]

Two ways of looking at a problem

Yesterday, a sincere supporter of gay rights related a story to me about a woman who was fighting against the legalization of gay marriage. She was appalled that the mother of a gay man had told him, “After seeing what you’ve become, I wish I’d had an abortion.” Many see that statement as a typical […]

Updating Iron Age words helps computer users understand Jesus better than at any time in history.

Catholic Fundamentalism, the New Evangelization, recognizes that modern vocabularies have separated us from the Iron Age roots of our faith. That’s why we begin by updating the Iron Age vocabulary that’s alien to computer-using generations. We see the Trinity as being comprised of The Loving Programmer, The Program, and Holy Wireless Connector. The Second Person […]

The biggest Family Business of all: “God, Spirit, & Son”.

We used to see many signs on businesses like “John Smith & Son, Tailors“, or “Bob Jones & Sons, Realtors“, or “Paul Hankovich & Brother Hardware Store”. Such names celebrate family businesses that continue more than a generation. In every age, such family businesses are an earthly reflection of the biggest Family Business of all: […]

Letter #8 from a Protestant minister:

Pastor Pitstop was very upset when he realized that, by calling The Catholic Church the “Mother of harlots” he was describing his own denomination as a “harlot”. He was insulted, frankly, by being made to consider that the Padded-Pew Perkmistianists, a splinter of a faction of a denomination founded four or five hundred years ago […]

Conventional Reality or The Catholic Church?

An extraordinary simplification makes things far easier to understand than many realize: There are two realities. Conventional Reality, composed mostly of Press Releases, makes up most of what most people believe. The other reality is The Catholic Church. It’s as simple as that. Most of our neighbors believe in, and embrace, Conventional Reality. They will […]

Letter # 4 from a Protestant minister:

A few Protestants still believe the old lie, “The Catholic Church is the ‘Whore of Babylon’.” They seriously believe themselves to be saying something intelligent by breathlessly announcing, “It says so, in the Book of Revelation!” Facts show that belief to be lunacy. Revelation 17, 1-8 describes the vile creature, and tell us that she […]
