The important thing to remember about our post-Christian nation

Last updated on: April 24, 2016 at 10:34 am By Dave Griffey

Is that the official religion is now politics. And when someone dies, within a day it’s the duty of the ministry of propaganda to look past the life lost, and see exactly what politics he or she embraced and how she voted. There is a pecking order nowadays, and where you stand on the political issues and how you vote are among the most important questions to ask. Read more

On the stupidity of the anti-gender movement

Last updated on: April 24, 2016 at 9:00 am By Dave Griffey

Two Catholic Men and a Blog takes apart the head smacking idiocy that is now the rage of our society. Again, get a nation to think that it’s good when billion dollar corporations pull out of a state and cost thousands of jobs in order to punish the idea that boys should use the boy’s bathroom, and you can get that society to accept any stupid thing. That’s what happens when you throw away Truth for whatever makes me awesome... Read more

Happy Shakespeare Day

Last updated on: April 23, 2016 at 8:10 pm By Dave Griffey

Today is the day to celebrate the worthy Bard. Owning to some obligations around soccer and church, we didn’t have the chance to give the day the time it deserves. But we will finish watching Orson Welles’ strangely interpreted Macbeth. We started it the other day, but didn’t have a chance to finish. It’s one of those Shakespearean takes that reminds us about artistic license when it comes to interpreting Shakespeare. It’s different. There are others. We’re partial to the... Read more

That rascally pope

Last updated on: April 23, 2016 at 10:02 am By Dave Griffey

The Vatican has come out an reiterated in clearer terms what the Pope has already said: do not move to legalize illegal drugs. This is funny because many who love the current pope are, shall we say, to the left of center. Others are those who have adopted a sort of anti-traditional bent, even if they are not liberal themselves. Some are of the modern non-conformist, quasi-libertarian bent who find solace in the Pope’s hands-off approach to certain social sins.... Read more

I will have no way of knowing if God is Not Dead 2 is any good

Last updated on: April 23, 2016 at 9:44 am By Dave Griffey

Unless I go see it. Like Hearst ordering his media empire to trash Citizen Kane, bet your bottom dollar that most in the national media will trash it because it shines a light on that brand of modern censorship the Left would rather ignore. Not that the movie is therefore wonderful. It might stink. It might be awful. The writing, the acting, the directing all might be deplorable. I won’t know until I see it. For my money, the...

A day with Jungle Jack

Last updated on: April 22, 2016 at 7:21 am By Dave Griffey

One of the great parts of homeschool is that you get to take things you normally do for enjoyment, and log them as educational time (as long as they, you know, are educational). So I took the boys to the Columbus Zoo Monday. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been scarce this week. Monday’s are my ‘administrative’ time. During that time of grading, planning, and fitting in household needs and upkeep, I usually squeeze in many of the posts for... Read more

I was right

Last updated on: April 22, 2016 at 7:04 am By Dave Griffey

It doesn’t happen much, but I have my moments. Please see this article. Get a nation of Christians to accept the Common Era, and you can get a nation to believe it’s a punishable offense to expect boys to use the boy’s bathroom. Notice we don’t even haggle over ulterior motives with the whole transgender thing. There is no major discussion. There are no years of debate. I’ve seen no experts on news shows unpacking the reason to accept transgender as... Read more

When doves cry

Last updated on: April 21, 2016 at 8:07 pm By Dave Griffey

By now most have heard that Prince died today. The reasons still aren’t clear. It sounds, as of now, like it could have been the flu. In any event, to see a person cut down so early in life when there were still so many years left is a shame. Personally, I was never a big Prince fan. I felt about him what I felt about U2. Nonetheless, his music was more popular and more played than U2 back in... Read more

Pat Archbold was fired by National Catholic Register

Last updated on: April 20, 2016 at 7:04 am By Dave Griffey

That’s fine. That’s their prerogative. I had a reader send me a link to an article by Archbold. Clearly not overly impressed with the new ‘Church is broke, we finally need to fix it and then the world will think we’re swell’ approach to outreach. I did some checking, and over at the always reliable The American Catholic, it looks like it happened a year ago. That’s how in the loop I am. Again, I don’t have a beef with... Read more
