Why Catholics should apologize to gays

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 9:13 pm By Dave Griffey

A different perspective. At the end of the day, if you embrace a more progressive narrative, then you won’t have a problem with what Pope Francis said. Catholics can do bad things. Gays, as defined by their attractions, haven’t always been treated the best. Catholics can be sinners. Many Catholics still cling to old notions of the issue, which apparently is wrong to do. Therefore, like Pope John Paul II before him when he apologized for the cruelty and barbarism... Read more

Pray for the victims of the Turkish bombing

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 7:43 pm By Dave Griffey

Apparently terrorists unleashed a series of bombings at an airport in Istanbul. So far it looks as if 30 people have been killed, and perhaps more. Many others are wounded. Pray for the families and loved ones of the victims, for the victims themselves, for the authorities and the first responders and doctors and medical professionals who will work to rescue and heal the victims. And pray that God’s peace enter into that area of wickedness that has expanded over... Read more

The Dallas Morning News

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 7:40 pm By Dave Griffey

Steps in and reminds us what liberal tolerance is all about. In an editorial by Mac McCann, who was raised Catholic, we’re reminded that with liberalism, there is conformity. And that’s it. Conform. 99.9% conformity will not suffice. You must conform 100%. Until the Church is dismantled and rebuilt in the image of the heresy of theological liberalism, and Catholics apostatize and convert to the religion of liberalism, there is simply no tolerance. Sure, there is some appreciation for... Read more

As if on cue

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 8:39 am By Dave Griffey

Catholic gay rights groups have come out and told Pope Francis than an apology is not enough. Of course those close to Pope Francis are saying he isn’t a liberal, he simply wants the Church open to all people. Though it’s worth noting that he must have high regard for the emotional fortitude of Capitalists, global warming skeptics, and citizens concerned about unrestricted immigration. He doesn’t pull any punches there. I can only assume he has faith in those groups’... Read more

We don’t need no stinking freedom

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 7:53 am By Dave Griffey

Political Correctness is censorship for the stupid. It’s how you convince a nation that was only recently told morality was relative and we should be able to say and do anything and be respected by all, that there is, in fact, a thousand mile long list of taboos that immediately result in punishment and retribution if violated. So the Red Cross is apologizing for a racist pool safety poster. The problem? The poster showed a cartoon of kids in a... Read more

Prayers for the people of West Virginia

Last updated on: June 27, 2016 at 9:06 pm By Dave Griffey

It is a state with enough problems. It sounds like many have died, and others could add to the numbers. Pray that the immoderate weather that has buffeted the region finally subside. Pray for the safety of all who live there, as well as those who risk their lives to safe and protect them. Pray that their leaders do all in their power to help and rebuild. And pray that God give peace and strength to those who have already... Read more

Pope Francis has met the enemy

Last updated on: July 8, 2016 at 11:15 pm By Dave Griffey

And it is us. Not that there is anything wrong with the occasional sermon that looks out on the congregation and proclaims ‘thou art the man!’ You can’t spend your life pointing out the window and condemning all those sinners out there. The problem is, again, you have Pope Francis echoing that modern Catholic tendency of wanting to embrace almost everything to do with the modern, post-Christian secular progressive world view … but with Jesus. The idea that Christians are... Read more

Why is Trump’s support plummeting?

Last updated on: June 27, 2016 at 7:00 am By Dave Griffey

Easy. Because the media is doing to him what it did to Romney and McCain in the last two election cycles. During the primaries, no matter how outraged journalists were at what Trump said, the presentation was always the same: Trump the unstoppable. Even when they asked if his latest escapade would finally derail him, the conversation was inevitably wrapped up in a narrative of Trump, who the others simply cannot stop. Fast forward to now. For the last three... Read more

In which Catholics and Christians judge the heart and soul of fellow Christians

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 5:34 pm By Dave Griffey

Including vulgar insults and judging the spiritual integrity of Christians who they disagree with politically or socially. And all on the Facebook page of a man who used to obliterate Traditionalist Catholics because of that group’s supposed tendency of insulting fellow Catholics and judging the spiritual integrity of other Christians.

A homily worth the read

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 8:46 am By Dave Griffey

Courtesy of Archbishop Thomas Wenski. This is a nice little rebuttal of the disgraceful attempt to avoid the obvious about the Orlando shooter in order to cling to the preconstructed narratives of the modern Left. He is right about painting all of Islam with broad strokes. Catholics were none to happy about those who tried to use the priest abuse scandal in order to besmirch the entire Church. Though attempts to suggest Islam is just Catholicism without the Virgin Mary... Read more
