Before I go on in my discussion of the denial of communion to anti-life people, I need to answer some very good questions that came up that I would like to answer: More on your topic — where does it end? How about the justices who wrote Roe v. Wade? The Presidents who nominated them, […]
All who approve and promote murder should be denied communion, right?
I commented yesterday that there I have no problem with the idea that those who are actively and directly involved in activities that are in murderous violation of pro-life standards should be denied communion. But, I also commented that many pro-birth people do not fully carry out their own beliefs. That is, they are willing […]
Active anti-life people should be denied communion
Active anti-life people should be denied communion. That is something with which I fully and completely agree. I agreed with it during the last election and I agree with it now. Let me carefully say that I am speaking only about people who are actively and directly involved in activities that are in murderous violation […]
The Census and right wing(nuts)
Rep. Patrick McHenry (R) of North Carolina is one of the more conservative members of Congress. He has even proposed replacing the image of U.S. Grant on the $50 bill with the image of Ronald Reagan. But, Rep. McHenry is in favor of the Census and is encouraging people to fully respond to the Census […]
A balanced view of the Roman Catholic paedophilia scandal
Yesterday I asked some questions about how does one differentiate between a conspiracy and simple paranoia thinking? How does one accept criticism from those outside of your political or philosophical or religious circle? Well, I have an excellent example of how to do so in an article written by Peggy Noonan, a former speechwriter for […]
How can one tell if it is a conspiracy?
I have a serious question. As you have read lately, Pope Benedict XVI has been taking a lot of heat for the growing pædophilia scandal in several countries. But, it is the reaction that raises a question in my mind. I know the responses that I have read from the Vatican and from other Roman […]
Roman Catholic bishops, healthcare, and pro-life
Yesterday, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published a statement to go along with the signing of the new healthcare bill by President Obama. I posted the statement yesterday on this blog, but it can also be found here. It, and the letter to Congress that I also posted yesterday, are important statements, both […]
Update on Catholic bishops, healthcare, and Obama
The statement below is fresh today from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It addresses both healthcare and the bill that was just signed. For nearly a century, the Catholic bishops of the United States have called for reform of our health care system so that all may have access to the care that […]
Tony Campolo, Glenn Beck, and heresy
Over the last couple of days Father Orthoduck and I have been discussing short-term missions, theology, and social justice. Let me now return to short-term missions with a quote from the article by Tony Campolo that was cited earlier. In this quote, Tony Campolo provides the link between Glenn Beck’s disdain for government and private […]
Glenn Beck and social and economic justice
Recently Glenn Beck said on his radio shows that if their priest or pastor or preacher is using the terms economic or social justice that they should leave their local congregation. To make sure that you do not think that Father Orthoduck is misquoting Glenn Beck, please go here to read his defense on his […]
