In retrospect I think that the Church has handled the 'sex abuse crisis' very well. Pedophilia is a cultural and behavioral sexual reality which would be amongst human society with or without the Church. It is appalling and disgraceful the way people absolve themselves from the responsibility of contending with prepubescent sexual desires of their own families but wish by the same token to pile

The decision by the New York State Senate has been the death kneel to not only the State of New York but to the country at large because it reveals the depth of concern that exist amongst the wealthiest people in this state and probably throughout the country. The new 'law' reflects the monetary idolatry and the absolute dedication to friends and family members that trumps any fidelity to God and

Gays are not maritable. It will not make a difference if they get a legal certificate that says that they are.  It is based on the fact that two gays getting together is a defacto demurrage, i.e. people staying in an infantile psychological  state, demurring the ascent to marry. Homosexuality is a choice, it is a willingness to do without God, it is a willingness to avoid psychological maturation

Watching a movie the other day I realized the amount of brain washing that we go through. In today's movies there is no hero, only a protagonist, there is no happy ending unless we are discussing a sexual innuendo and the good guys, well there are no good guys. The movies for instance "The Mechanic" (A remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film by the same name which I admitingly haven't seen)

When I think about this country, since Memorial day was just two days ago. I am caught between wanting to live my life and what I have to recognize as the changed stance my government has taken towards my religion, causing me to take seriously the call of Christ to lose one's life for His sake. The latter I must confess is not so much a noble aspiration on my part because, well, there is so

Saying that there is a cover up amongst the Bishops is just part of the cover up. When the boy is abused by his dad or step dad and the mother comes in and wipes the semen from his mouth that is part of the cover up. When the boy comes in to tell his parents that he was molested by the man next door and is slapped in his face and told to stop lying that is part of the cover up. By claiming there

On December 28 is the day that we Catholics honor those boys of Bethlehem that were slaughtered by Herod in an effort to kill the ‘King of Kings” or the new King of Israel a descendent of King David, Jesus the Christ.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. It is only now that the Catholic Church can see the upside of the pedophile scandal. The pedophile scandal may have had two positive outcomes for the Church and humanity at large. One was that it brought pedophilia to the front burner long enough to know the evil that lives amongst and between us, now no one can say they don't know the sexual atrocities that

All I can say to this is how inhumanely stupid the editors of the L’Obserrveo Romano (which is a stupid name if you want an international readership) that is, all it proves is that neither the Church has learned to relate to the international cultures at all.

This survey was interesting in that it reveals how our educational theory in America really works. For instance, our military puts a huge premium on 'smart bombs' and high tech weaponry but when we go out to Iraq our troops get shell shocked by improvised explosive devices and we have been at war with these so called primitive people longer than we have the Germans or any other European nation.

"Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples," the judge wrote in his 136-page ruling.

In an interview with Thomas J. McKenna from the San Diego based group Catholic Action for Faith and Family Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, newly appointed Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura discussed how the respect for the Holy Eucharist has eroded and his commitment through Cannon law to the policy of denying those who are publicly engaged in grave sins from partaking in the Eucharist. He turns

Unfortunately, it seems that attacks by Barack Obama's rivals have a tendency of drawing even Barack Obama's detractors to his aid. This is what happened when John McCain says that Obama is 'playing the race card' based on a speech Obama gave describing how Republican engineers of fear would contrast his visage from those notable Americans who today have the honor of being commerated on the U.S.

Being a someone who has difficulty with reality anyway, I take a great interest in the disparity between the major corporations and their television commercials which can be quite comforting. It is interesting to note that many of these companies have such legal entanglements that their chances of being hired through their own human resources departments are rather slim.In Doug Hammerstrums

We here in the States have actually transformed our economy from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. The irony being most haven't the proper character to provide decent service. So many Americans have grown up with our self-indoctrinated profit driven ethos that the ends not only justfy the means they justify the purpose. To be kind, considerate and conscientious is to be weak and

With space at a premium it would seem that Community Board 5 idea of turning the Univesity Woods into Condominums would (wood-a subliminal suggestion intimating what side I am on in this debate!) not suit either the tenants nor the community itself. There just is not enough good space for that, it will only end up being cramped high rise quarters. There is also a misguided sense in these ideas
