Do Catholics Need Therapy When They Have Sacraments?

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

A reader left the following comment last week, and I’ve been meaning to blog on it: “Where there are Sacraments, you need no psychotherapists.” I mentioned that to my therapist, and she laughed, saying “If only!” That’s no different than saying “Where there are Sacraments, you need no doctors.” Or, “When you follow Jesus, you don’t need friendship.” I’m trying to be charitable, and attribute ignorance rather than meanness on the part of the commenter. But really – such blanket statements... Read more

Taking Measures To Make My Blog A Safer Place

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

Following is an important Special Announcement released by the AoftheA Health & Safety Department. Please read it carefully. Thank you. “It has been brought to the attention of the AoftheA Health & Safety Department that the previous AoftheANews story, “Catholic Psychotherapists Identify Baffling New Condition Among Internet Users”, caused stress and confusion in the Catholic blogosphere. (In all fairness, nearly every AoftheANews story causes that, but that’s neither here nor there.) In response to this reaction, a collection of warning labels has been created... Read more

Catholic Psychotherapists Identify Baffling New Condition Among Internet Users

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

(AoftheANews) GREELEY, CO – The Catholic Psychotherapy Association released a report today on a condition they claim is rising, and while they know what’s causing it, they’re baffled by its’ sufferers behaviors. “We’ve named it Unintentional Website Hits Inducing Nonsensical Exaggerated Rage Syndrome, or UWHINERS,” a CPA spokesman told AoftheA News. “Our member therapists are reporting an increase in diagnoses of this condition among clients who regularly surf the internet. It seems prevalent among people who click a Pewsitter hyperlink and end up at a Patheos blog. It’s not exclusive, but does seem... Read more

St Paul Street Evangelization – Sharing The Gospel, On The Streets

St Paul Street Evangelization – Made in Detroit “Would You Like A Free Rosary?” ROYAL OAK — Just three years ago, Steve Dawson took an idea and ran with it. It was a simple idea, based on a simple concept: Spread the Gospel by going out and talking to people about it. It was so simple, in fact, it was brilliant. In just three... Read more

“God Isn’t Boring” Is A Solipsism, Not A Reason For Faith

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

I drive by this billboard – I guess it could be called a billbored – every day. It stands above a Rock n’ Roll Bible School non-denominational place of worship. I’d laugh if God would zap it with a bolt of lightning and have it fall through the building’s roof, and then say, “Heh. See what I did there?” Cos as we all know, God’s all about excitement and entertainment. So is Jesus. I forget the chapter and verse, but remember when Jesus said “Come... Read more

A Good Way To End Up In Hell Is To Deny It Exists

Last updated on: February 21, 2016 at 9:37 am By Larry D

Every so often, you see articles written by a Catholic or Christian of some stripe who denies the existence of Hell. The Huffington Post published one earlier this month by a “Spiritual Leader” who is also an Ambassador to the Council on the Parliament for the World’s Religions…which if you think about it, the fact that something called ‘The Council on the Parliament for the World’s Religions’ actually exists, ought to be enough confirmation that Hell is a damned thing. Anywho…... Read more

I love me some satire and parody. And it looks like Creative Minority Report is returning to their humorous roots with an ongoing interview with “gone Galt” blogger Ann Barnhardt. Check out a couple of these quotes – they’re crazy good. “I’ll tell you right now what the real question is, and when this question starts being asked publicly, then I will sit up and pay attention, and dare to hope again: The question is whether or not, after arrest, a speedy trial...
