Unexpected scene in a manga light novel

8 February 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

I’ve taken other people’s lives, for my own sake. They were enemies, true, but they were opponents he could talk to. They cared for their comrades and fought for the sake of others. Diablo’s heart creaked. He clenched his shaking fist, only to feel a small hand rest over it. Rem’s hand. “…I’m sorry. From […]

Voting software and its dangers

4 February 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

We have been getting warned since before the last election about the dangers of having no paper records for an election. The only reason that I am glad that Iowa happened is that it happened early enough for the various states to ensure that there is a physical voting trail, even if electronic machines are […]

My reaction to some modern “Christian” theology

29 January 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

All too many modern Christians are not conversant with the foundations of Christian theology. In one sense, there is no need for them to be, provided that they are willing to follow the lead of the Church. But, when any Christian considers themselves to be an absolute authority on Christian theology, then they often end […]

Using medical tourism as a healthcare argument

25 January 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

What is medical tourism? Medical tourism is the conscious choice to travel to another country in order to receive healthcare. There are various reasons why people engage in medical tourism. For instance, one reason is to receive treatment that is not available from the country in which you live. Thus, it is not unusual for […]

The death penalty and statistics

21 January 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

I was listening to an interesting radio broadcast on NPR on the death penalty and statistics. So, I thought that I would check some of what they say with official figures. Since 1973, 167 people on death row were released after being exonerated of all charges. Please note that these are not releases on issues […]

Asian-Pacific anime/manga get it wrong on Christianity

18 January 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

I enjoy watching anime and reading manga, manhua, and manhwa. If one reads the description before one watches and reads, one can avoid inappropriate videos or publications. Actually, the same is true of any type of media that one may watch or read, whether it is from the Far East or from here in the […]

Mistaken attitude toward your childhood

8 January 2020 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

I have no problem with people who look back at their difficult childhood to realize that they have “turned out fine.” Hindsight sometimes lets one see how even negative experiences can become positive formative parts of one’s character. Steve Jobs, one of the two creators of the original Apple computer was adopted after being abandoned […]
