Why am I running a series on the Church’s teaching about the relationship…

between the Jewish and Christian covenants? Because on Tuesday, the diabolical antichrist Cult of Trump made extremely clear that all the lies they have ever told you about “VOTE GOP OR THE BABY GET IT!!!!” are lies indeed. Proof? In Illinois, the race was between a prolife Democrat named Dan Lipinski and a genuine, bona […]

There is a connection….

… between this: and this: via GIPHY Hint: It is not “prolife” or Christian. Just a minor refresher on elementary Christian ethics: Neither Jesus nor a disciple of Jesus mocks the physically or mentally disabled.

A Tale of Two Covenants

Continuing a theme from last week, I thought it would be good to reprint a little series I once did (in 2007) on the relationship between the Old and New Covenants since it seems to be a source of confusion for many Catholics and cause of obnoxious and biblically illiterate and anti-semitic triumphalism for some. […]

A word of encouragement

…to those who voted Democrat in order to stop the Cult of Trump today. The essential failure of the “prolife” movement is that the core qualification for belonging to it is not (and has not been for decades), to say “I oppose and would like to reduce the number of abortions as much as possible.” […]

Simcha Fisher Gets It

She writes “The GOP is forcing me to stop them because they won’t stop themselves“: I’m a lifelong registered republican, and I’ll probably vote straight democrat today. I’m not trying to persuade anyone. I’m just telling you what I’m thinking, because I know there are plenty like me. I’m pro-life, always have been. I’ve always […]

Prayer for an Election

Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and […]

Vote for the least of these and Christ

…not for a sadistic antichrist Cult.

Meditating on Meditation and Something I Realized the Other Day

So I went to Mass yesterday and Father talked about the goodness of Christian meditation. The core difference between Christian and non-western forms of meditation is the object. The goal of the east is detachment from the world and desire. It’s not a bad start since no small part of our problem is disordered attachment […]

On this day before the Election, a reminder

Just a reminder for those getting the “There’s blood on your hands if you vote Democrat” stuff: “A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate’s permissive stand on abortion and/or […]

Voter Fraud is not a Thing

But cheating voters out of a vote is emphatically a GOP thing: The Cult of Trump are enemies of democracy. Destroy them at the polls on Tuesday.
