Remember this???? It does raise the question how much the likes of Presidente Obama would be sympathetic to Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Bastardization of the Theological Virtues

While reading another great book by J. Budziszewski, "The Revenge of Conscience: Politics and the Fall of Man", I came across a wonderful articulation of what I will call a bastardization of the theological virtues. A monotheist, who has not yet joined the Catholic Church, I have always wondered why most Catholics that I dialogue with seem to be so out of touch with the official Church teachings. The author cut right to the core of this problem with the following paragraph.

"Christian laxness bears some responsibility for the advent of perfectionism. For instance, today's believer does not often hear that Love is a disposition of will toward good, Faith a disposition of reason toward revealed truth, and Hope a disposition of longing toward Heaven. Once he has followed nonbelievers in using the first word for an emotion and the second for something inimical to reason, there is nothing much to stop him from using the third for complacency about the course of this present, broken world."

I applaud Mr. Budziszewski for attempting to turn on a light, instead of cursing the darkness. I highly recommend this book to all.

Leftist Hatred

Michelle Malkin (may God bless her) has been together an illustrated guide of Leftist Hatred. I wonder if NBC & CNN will notice this.

Timeless Wisdom from St. Augustine of Hippo

"Heretics are those who entertain in Christ’s Church unsound and distorted ideas and stubbornly refuse, even when warned, to return to what is sound and right, to correct their contagious and death-dealing doctrines, but go on defending them. When they leave the Church they are ranked as enemies who try her patience. Even so, their evil-doing profits the loyal Catholic members of Christ’s Body, for God makes good use of bad men, while ‘for those who love God all things work together unto good.’ (Rom 8:28) Actually, all foes of the Church, whether blinded by error or moved by malice, subserve her in some fashion. If they have power to do her physical harm, they develop her power to suffer; if they oppose her intellectually, they bring out her wisdom; since she must love even her enemies, her loving kindness is made manifest; and whether she has to deal with them in the persuasiveness of argument or the chastisement of law, they bring into play her power to do good. (St. Augustine, The City of God, XVIII, 51)"
