Paul Valone (not pictured) is President of Grass Roots North Carolina. He wrote an open letter to the President of the United States of America in which he said: The real question, Mr. President, is whether you so hunger for power that you are willing to foment what might be the next American Revolution. On […]
A somewhat logical result of the Protestant Reformation
The video above is interesting because of the author’s conclusions. You see, once you reject the Early Church, you have very few options left to you as to what the place of the Bible is in the Christian Church. More than that, once you reject the Early Church and adopt Sola Scriptura as your principle, […]
Immigration and gun ownership
As a Latino, I found the above comic quite funny. But, it does let me comment on what I consider a frightening trend in the gun-rights / gun-control debate. The language on the debate is becoming every bit as extreme as the language on the immigration debate has been. What troubles me is that […]
Gleanings from the web
Here are some interesting quotes from across the web. (Thanks to Internetmonk for the leads.) When you pray for guidance assume you’re being led even if it appears you’re going nowhere. America could completely collapse and even cease to exist and Jesus still might not be at the door. The Christian era has seen the […]
The Church, Education, and pro-life
A recent WHO report had the following statements: In low- and middle-income countries, complications from pregnancy and childbirth are a leading cause of death among girls aged 15-19 years. … About 16 million girls aged 15 to 19 years and two million girls under the age of 15 give birth every year. Worldwide, one in […]
Geeky Lagrangian points
The above drawing is a very simplified diagram showing the gravitational forces that are at work between the earth and the moon. As you notice it looks like a topographical map, and in one sense you can conceptually think of it like a topographical map of sorts. If you notice, there are five points, labelled […]
Saint Basil on our responsibility to the poor
I am again indebted to a quote on the Preachers Institute website posted by Fr. John A. Peck. You should read the full quote on the website. The harshest form of covetousness is not even to give things perishable to those who need them. “But whom do I treat unjustly,” you say, “by keeping what […]
Pastoral counsel by Saint Basil on sex outside marriage
Recently the Preachers Institute quoted some canons from Saint Basil. A few of them are below: Canon 3. A deacon who commits fornication after his appointment to the diaconate is to be deposed. But, after he has been rejected and ranked among the laity, he is not to be excluded from communion. For there is […]
More soldier suicides than combat deaths in 2012
More soldiers took their own lives than died in combat during 2012, new Department of Defense figures show. The Army’s suicide rate has climbed by 9 percent since the military branch launched its suicide-prevention campaign in 2009. Through November, 177 active-duty soldiers had committed suicide compared to 165 during all of 2011 and 156 in […]
For the mamas among us
This comic brings back memories of being a parent. My wife and I are empty nesters now. While at first many years ago, it was an odd adjustment not having any children around, we have become quite accustomed to not having people dependent on us around all the time. Nowadays we watch our daughters […]
