Latino Archbishop for Los Angeles

13 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

I again interrupt the blogging on pro-birth and pro-life with a news report that is being received with much pride among Latinos. Archbishop José Gomez of San Antonio has been named Bishop Co-Adjutor for Cardinal Roger Mahony of the Diocese of Los Angeles (Roman Catholic). Since this is the largest Local Church in North America, […]

Quenya (Tolkien elf) Paschal greeting

12 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

Thanks to a friend, I can pass on to you what the greeting would be that Aragorn and Arwen would have exchanged on Pascha (Easter Day) had it existed back then. Yes, someone has translated the traditional greeting–Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!–into Quenya. Ortanne Laivino! Anwa ortanne Laivino! From an Orthodox website, here […]

OK, let’s get it right!

11 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

I know that I had said I would finish talking about some pro-life issues today, but life was a little busier yesterday than I expected. So, meantime, enjoy the above cartoon from Pithless Thoughts. Sadly, I have some people in the mission I am building up that have the same attitude as the curmudgeon above. […]

All who approve and promote murder should be denied communion, right?

10 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 10 Comments

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

9 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

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 […]

8 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

But, Rep. McHenry is in favor of the Census and is encouraging people to fully respond to the Census […]

InternetMonk has passed away

6 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 13 Comments

The news has just been received that last night Michael Spencer, the InternetMonk, passed away surrounded by his family. I never had the opportunity to meet Michael face to face, I “met” him online at his blog about a year and a half ago. I quickly warmed to his blog and to his breadth of […]

A balanced view of the Roman Catholic paedophilia scandal

6 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

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?

5 April 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

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 […]
