  • Pope taking a position on climate change!?

    Personally, I think that the Pope taking a position on the cause of climate change is like Galileo all over again --- which is why this article concerns me--

    http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/07/12/europe/EU-Vatican-Pope.php

    "The pope has told reporters while flying to Australia on a 10-day pilgrimage that people need to be spurred into changing their lifestyles because of climate change."

     

    I will wait, of course, to hear his actual statements...as this is a very paraphrased statement, and I just don't trust reports to get things about the Pope right...... but as to this issue in general - we can't say for sure MAN is causing any climate change (even Mars is warming up), even Cardinal Pell (of AUSTRALIA) has come out strongly against this notion... however, WE MUST treat our environment better than we do as stewards of God's creation.  To me, the Pope can teach that all day long, but to even begin to buy into Climate Change issue gives all sorts of ammo to people that want GLOBAL ONE CHILD POLICIES because having children has been supposedly linked to climate change.

  • Anglicans VOTE to Allow Woman Bishops

    http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=59529

    Nice... I vote that 2+2=5.  Can we also vote that Adultry is not wrong?  I mean, Jesus said whoever looks lustfully upon another has already committed adultry-- that view is not longer valid in this day and age, its impossible not to be confronted with things that cause such thoughts.   While we're at it, let's vote that God is a Quadrinity too, Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Jesus --- After all, if it makes more sense to the Human mind, it must be true.

    Women cannot be priests -- let alone Bishops any more than I can become pregnant with a Child.  The asbsurdity of this event should remind us that there are certain SPRITUAL realities which underly such decision, and that as God did not give MEN the capacity to bear children, he also did not give Women the capacity to become Priests (that is to turn bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus).  Just as men must accept that they cannot bear children, we need to accept that women cannot be Priests and/or Bishops.  Its not harsh, its just recognizing realities of the spiritual realm.

  • We All Need To Be Humbled

    Remember, that in the end, when we have given ALL WE CAN POSSIBLE GIVE TO GOD, that we have only given him his due, and we've already failed in giving him all we could have given because of our sin--and because we will, unfortunately sin again.  In the end, we can never be proud and think ourselves better because we make an effort to be faithful practicing Catholics--- We are nothing more than unprofitable servants.

    From Luke 17

    But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat: And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him? I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.

  • First Church of the Secularist

     I had an idea today--- it was to start a new "Church" -- not to break away from the Catholic Church by any means, but to begin the key attack on secularism - and that is to make sure that all are aware that SECULARISM IS A RELIGION!!!  So, I thought we could open the First Church of the Secularist, or First Secularist Church, we would put signs up all over town with a phone number (and I guarantee many would call!).  The thing is, all you'd have to do is buy a building and put a sign on the front-- there would never need to be any services, the building would be open for people to come in and do whatever they please in there and that's it.  That's what secularism is, a nothingness and emptyness-- but it is a NOTHINGNESS that is being imposed on us in, of all places, the PUBLIC SPHERE.  So, those avowed "secularist" need a place to worship at the altar of nothingness--- they need their own Church building so that as the Court's review these absurd attacks on Religion in the public sphere, it is OBVIOUS that those attacking are zealots themselves for the Religion of Secularism.

  • Pretty Amazing

    You know, it is pretty amazing at how the early Church understood that all things of God cannot be fully understood.  I think some of the bad theology, especially in connection with the Reformation, and to a GREAT extent the sore shape of the faith life throughout the world is that people think these things must be understood -- that if one can not explain how (for example) God can become bread, or how God is one in three and three in one --- yet, the Church stands by these mysteries in the face of other faiths and religions that destroy truth for the sake of reducing God to something we can own and appear to fully understand.

    Isn't this the silliest idea ever? Why would one need a chatboard if they already have their Xanga blog? I know -- this is all to compete with MYSPACE...
