Scenes from the Genocide in Yemen

This is being done to human beings in Yemen: The people doing this to the Yemeni human beings are Saudis, with the help of the Most Prolife President in History, who is selling them arms and bragging that he will sell them the use of our troops and turn a tidy profit.  His MAGA Court […]

A Reader Tries to Square the MAGA/100% Catholic Circle, Part 2 of 3

We continue from yesterday with Email #4, in which my reader simply lies to deny that Trump has raised funding for Planned Parenthood–because lies are all the Cult has: You claim President Trump is doing nothing about planned parenthood. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trum... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trum... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trum... That you link Pravda is charming.  But the fact remains that Trump is […]

A Reader Tries to Square the MAGA/100% Catholic Circle, Part 1 of 3

A reader writes: Hey Mark: I Am a cradle to grave devout Roman Catholic.  I agree 100% with everything that the Catholic church teaches. I assist at R.C.I.A. at my Parish St. Joseph in Yakima.  I also agree with everything President Trump is doing to protect us at the border. The Democrats want open borders […]

VELOCIPASTOR!

So there is a film on Amazon Prime that… well… here: I, for one, cannot wait to see this. I initially approached DecentFilms.com guy Deacon Steven Greydanus with a completely sober and rational request for a review of this fine film over on the Book of Face: I worry about Steven D. Greydanus’s bona fides […]

George Will and the Millstone of MAGA Christianity

Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Stupidity

Found this interesting quote: While awaiting execution, Bonhoeffer recorded a number of his thoughts in a work we now know as Letters and Papers from Prison. One of these essays, entitled On Stupidity, records some of the problems which Bonhoeffer likely saw at work in Hitler’s rise to power: “Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every strong upsurge […]

Observing Roe v. Wade Day as a Consistent Life Catholic

Deacon Steven Greydanus notes a new bit of argument in the scientific community: A pro-choice doctor and a pro-life doctor have jointly authored a paper for a leading bioethics journal challenging the claim (which they say was never really a consensus) that fetal pain is impossible before 24 weeks. Among other things, they argue that […]

I love it when Catholics Nerd Out

So here is a whimsical argument, perfect (though six days early) for the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas: This is where Michael Flynn’s Eifelheim is badly needed. Augustine was pondering this stuff in the 5th century. Except his aliens lived on remote islands. Medieval piety baptized and even canonized dog-headed men. If you were rational and […]

As Moscow Mitch’s Sham Trial Begins….

…it is important to grasp that the Christians in the MAGA Cult do not see this The Government Accountability Office said the Trump administration broke the law when it withheld US security aid to Ukraine last year that had been appropriated by Congress, a decision that’s at the heart of the House’s impeachment case against President Donald […]
