El aborto es asesinato

El aborto es asesinato!!! Esta cuenta esta horrible!

Tolerance...But Not If You Disagree

Al Kresta recently posted a story on his blog, concerning a street preacher who was arrested for saying that homosexuality is sinful. I am re posting the story here, so as to propagate it. In my opinion, it is very important that Americans (and others) see that the homosexual agenda is intrinsically opposed to religious liberty, if that liberty entails calling homosexual activity immoral. Remember there is a huge difference between calling the action sinful and harassing and/or harming persons with these tendencies.

The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are not sinful. Similarly, tendencies to be hetero-sexually promiscuous are not sinful. However, when one acts on these tendencies, they become sinful, because they are disordered. Conversely, the Catholic Church does NOT advocate punishing persons for there homosexual tendencies.

Let us take heed and fight the kind of laws. Let us keep marriage between one man and one woman, for life, for the good of society and, of course, the children.

Feast Day of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales


I would like to thank whomever operates this blog, for reminding me of this feast day. I have been interested in the English Catholic Marytrs since coming across Evelyn Waugh's book "Edmund Campion".
Ruega por nosotros, Santa Madre de Dios!

"It is finished in Beauty"

Please allow me to recommend this entry on Leon J. Podles blog. He relates a Navajo prayer that, almost, could be a Catholic prayer. The prayer is written in praise of Beauty. This ties in with the Catholic emphasis on Truth, Beauty, & Goodness. By the way, I should like to recommend the book, The Evidential Power of Beauty: Science and Theology Meet of Beauty by Thomas Dubay, which deals with the concept of Beauty, from a Catholic perspective.

The appreciation of Beauty, it seems, predates Christianity. In fact, I would argue, it is primordial. Perhaps, it is this appreciation that are bread crumbs on the path back to Truth and Goodness. G.K. Chesterton wrote (I cannot recall exactly where) that the most important thing about paganism is what followed it....Christianity. I think human beings strive for Truth, Goodness, and beauty, intrinsically. This probably is the best explanation of the pre-Christian myths. It is like man knew the story without the knowing the actors. Mythology, I think, was God reconciling the world to Himself, through Christ.

The old saying says that all roads lead to Rome. It seems, from my perspective, that philosophical roads lead to a man, who was God, dying on a cross. It, indeed, ALL "is finished" in Beauty!!!
