Maybe you can relate. As often happens when I am out and about I come across a homosexual* waiter or cashier. They want to be queer-noticed. They present themselves with false feminine affected speech and limp-wristed affectations. I am immediately repulsed by such an unnatural demeanor as I am by the sight of tattoos-graffiti…
I would estimate that over the years my father took thousands of photos with film cameras. He wasn’t in most of those photos. Most of what a father is and does isn’t captured in images….
“This is the lie that is at the heart of our society, the lie that encourages every form of destructive self-indulgence to flourish: for while we ascribe our conduct to pressures from without, we obey the whims that well up from within, thereby awarding ourselves carte blanche to behave as we choose. Thus we…
Young is just regurgitating 2nd-century heresy. He imagines he's smarter and kinder than God. You're not missing anything. — Foundations (@FoundationsRad) June 4, 2017 (And yes, I know that each century since Christ, artists have rendered each person of the Trinity. Some have done so being faithful to a Scriptural rendering of the Trinity,…
A Foot in the Door A Monologue in One Act Setting: A small and very old chapel. A crucifix shrouded in black gauze is on the wall. There are three candles. Front and center is the Host and a candle. Midway up the aisle is another candle. At the door is the third…
“Capitalism forms morally better people than socialism does,” Mr. Novak said in a 2007 interview with Crisis, a magazine he and the scholar Ralph McInerny founded in 1982. “Capitalism teaches people to show initiative and imagination, to work cooperatively in teams, to love and to cherish the law; what is more, it forces persons…

My job is to make clear to everyone just what the secret plan is, the purpose that’s been hidden from the very beginning of the world in God who created all things. This is it: that God’s wisdom, in all its rich variety, was to be made known to the rulers and authorities in…
At 64, The pages no longer turn at will, The knees no longer salute, The mind carries on As if yesterday mattered, As if tomorrow began anew. At 64, Worries takeover, As tomorrow encroaches; Surmise sets On what tomorrow will be. At 64, The sunrise still finds its setting, After today sings…
(Or, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Idol) “In most popular Christianity, “heaven” (and “fellowship with God” in the present) is the goal, and “sin” (bad behavior, deserving punishment) is the problem. A Platonized goal and a moralizing diagnosis—and together they lead, as I have been suggesting, to a paganized “solution” in which…
lo·go·cen·tric [ˌlôɡəˈsentrik, ˌläɡə-] ADJECTIVE: regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics, e.g., French philosopher and Deconstructionist Jacques Derrida, 1930-2004). ~~~ Deconstructionism is taught and practiced extensively in colleges and universities today. It directly affects our world…
