Tramadol 50 Mg Buy Pithless Thoughts did it to me again! When I saw this “magazine cover,” I laughed and laughed. And, then, I wondered whether I should be crying. Yes, it challenged me again. Sadly, we have some monk wanna be people in Orthodoxy. It is a serious enough problem that our bishops had to address the issue […]
Pilgrimages and delusion
https://www.circologhislandi.net/en/conferenze/Buy Cheap Tramadol Overnight · by 1 Comment
I must admit that this cartoon from Pithless Thoughts quite challenged me. I have been to several countries. In those countries, I have visited the tombs of famous saints, or their places of death. I have visited famous cathedrals, or monasteries. I have imagined what it would be like to have stood up to evil […]
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 […]
Healthcare reform, the Church, and pro-life
Several times over the last few weeks, I have been desirous of posting a more complete balanced statement on what I see as being pro-life and its relation to the healthcare debate. But, I never did. The reason was that I could not find the words to say something succinctly without sounding tendentious. Being pro-life […]
Paedophilia, the Roman Catholic Church, and justice
I sympathize a lot with victim’s groups. Each and every one of us has someone that has hurt us badly sometime in our life. That is, sadly, part of the human condition since the Fall. And, when we are hurt, we want the other person to hurt every bit as badly as we do. Actually, […]
Paedophilia, the Roman Catholic Church, and forgiveness
Yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI issued the latest apology from the Roman Catholic Church for multiple cases of pædophilia (yes, I prefer the British spelling) in yet another country. This time it was Ireland. So far, the Roman Church has had to apologize for major scandals in the USA, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, the Netherlands, and […]
Down’s syndrome and the Virgin Mary
From Beliefnet: A Philadelphia reader passes along this deeply moving essay by a Catholic mother of a Down syndrome child, responding to some vandals who stole photos of Down children from a website, and reposted them making fun of the kids and their condition. Excerpt: This attack was also painful because of the callous lack […]
The Confession of Saint Patrick of Ireland
Most people who think of Saint Patrick of Ireland think of him on this day. They dress in green, eat some corned beef and cabbage, and maybe drink some green beer and Irish whiskey. But, most know little of Saint Patrick. So, you can let Saint Patrick tell you about himself. Below is a short […]
A real life example of our current healthcare system and our “Christian” response
In the discussion of healthcare changes, one of the most often made arguments is that somehow God “hates” forced charity–despite the fact that the Old Testament Law specified quite a few taxes and Jesus said that we need to pay Caesar’s taxes without complaint–and that the Church is the one who ought to handle works […]
