It is Sunday night and I am tired. That is not unusual, it is my typical Sunday night condition. But, this cartoon got to me. There is enough of an American legalist Anabaptist in me to consider that the phrase that says that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit may be a […]
The Militia and Latinos have some areas of common cause
There are hundreds of private militia organizations in the United States, some are much better organized than others. A fellow Eastern Orthodox believer is a member of one of the militias, and he comments that there are two types of militia, those which are there to protect the Constitutional rights of all citizens in their […]
What immigration reform do I favor?
One of the people who commented on my post on Why Latinos (and African-Americans) have concerns about their fellow Evangelicals asked me, “First of all, Fr. Ernesto – now would be a great time for a positive statement of your ideal immigration policy.” Since that request did not have to do with the request yesterday, […]
Why Latinos (and African-Americans) have concerns about their fellow Evangelicals
On June 2, I blogged a post titled, “Why Latinos fear the Arizona law.” The lead was that of a natural-born citizen, a Puerto Rican, detained in jail in Chicago for several extra days because they wanted to make sure he was a citizen.

An evangelical writing about the BP spill

See the interview: A Chicago man who spent the weekend in jail and faced deportation on suspicion he is in the country illegally said what happened to him illustrates the need for America to change the way it deals with immigration. Eduardo Caraballo said his self-described nightmare began last […]
On various political opinions
The post on understanding the range of political expression brought several interesting replies. I call them interesting because they actually help to demonstrate the different, and very strong, opinions in the Christian camp. It will actually help in the discussion. I will not name names, however, one is an Orthodox monk, one is an Orthodox […]

Understanding the range of political expression in the USA
Look at the two political diagrams that I have attached to this post. Each one of them tells a story that is much more complex than the one that you commonly get to hear in this country. Because the story is not heard, too many Christians end up being deluded by the constant pounding of […]
Christian libertarians and morality
Libertarianism is an appealing approach nowadays. It can best be classified as the “pox on both your houses,” approach to politics. For many is is an appealing minimalist approach because of the constant unending stream of news that we get about earmarks that keep getting shoved into bills and special deals that keep getting cut.
