Prudence Is Necessary For Making Good Moral Decisions

Last updated on: April 25, 2023 at 2:45 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

When dealing with morality, it is one thing to talk about moral obligations in the ideal sense, where we have nothing standing in our way from choosing the greatest objective good, while it is another to deal with the actual situation which we find ourselves in, where the greatest objective good might not be possible. Objective discussions without actually dealing with concrete situations end up being pure abstractions. They are not worthless, but they do not comprehend the whole of... Read more

Mary Magdalene’s Call Shows Women Should Not Have Been Sidelined In History

Last updated on: April 23, 2023 at 2:52 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Some Christians like to use Paul to tell women that they have no right to speak in church (cf. 1 Cor. 14:34). They used his words out of context, absolutizing a literal interpretation of them instead of understanding the audience and reason why Paul told some women to be silent. If we accepted the interpretation which suggested women should be absolutely silent in church and have no authority to speak or teach others, we would have to conclude Paul was... Read more

Love Everyone, Especially Those In Most Need Of Mercy And Compassion

Last updated on: April 21, 2023 at 4:17 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

God is no respecter of persons. God loves everyone and works, in mysterious ways, for the benefit and salvation of all. God will not allow sin to hinder that love. God seeks, and finds, new ways to share that love, so that no matter how many barriers are put in place, God has a way to reach out and share that love with everyone. How can we not see this is one of the lessons we are to learn from... Read more

Earth Day 2023: The Earth Mourns And Withers

Last updated on: April 20, 2023 at 2:41 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

God created the heavens, the universe, and the earth, and saw them all to be good (cf. Gen. 1:31). Humanity was told it would be the steward of the earth. With that role, humanity was given authority, that is dominion, over the earth, not to use and abuse it for our own selfish desires, but to help preserve from harm. That is, God entrusted the earth to us, but sadly, we have failed that trust; we have broken the covenant... Read more

Our Prayer Should Not Treat God Like A Magical Talisman

Last updated on: April 18, 2023 at 2:45 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

We are told we should pray to God with faith, hope and love. We are encouraged to ask from God whatever we want, trusting that God will answer in accordance to what is best. What is important for us to remember is that our prayers should be seen as requests, reflecting, in part, what is in our heart, showing to God and ourselves what it is we desire. What we should not do with prayer is place undue demands upon... Read more

We Celebrate Easter On Every Eighth Day

Last updated on: April 16, 2023 at 2:48 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, the day of rest. The next day, Sunday, begins a new week; it is the first day of something new. If, however, we continue to count the days based upon the previous week, we would find the day after the Sabbath would be the eighth day. Thus, the first day of the week, Sunday, can also be described as the eighth day. It is the beginning of something new, even as... Read more

Concerning Original Sin And The Mythological Adam

Last updated on: April 14, 2023 at 2:47 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

Humanity is in this world together. We might try to avoid reality. We might try to split off from each other, but in the end, we can’t. We are one. We need each other. We can’t do everything ourselves. What one person does will directly or indirectly affect everyone else. Recognizing this is a necessary precondition for us to truly grasp the meaning of original sin and the way Christ save us from its effects (as well as the effects... Read more

The Russian Invasion Of Ukraine In Light Of Pacem In Terris

Last updated on: April 13, 2023 at 2:46 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

It has been sixty years since Pope St. John XXXIII wrote the encyclical Pacem in Terris. While many things have changed, at least accidentally, the concerns raised by him remain with us to this day. We have seen the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Sadly, we have also seen the rise of a new militant Russia, a Russia which invades other sovereign territories with the hope of assuming its own place of dominance... Read more

The Weak Like To Appear Strong

Last updated on: April 11, 2023 at 2:45 am By Henry Karlson

0 Comments

It is very common for those who try to appear strong out in public do so because they are afraid that they are anything but strong. That is, they fear that they are really weak. They fear what others would think of them, or do with them, if their weakness was discovered. And so, they act out a role, put on a mask, and act in front of others in ways they believe those who are truly strong and powerful... Read more

Death Has Lost Its Sting In The Resurrection

Christ is Risen! Indeed, He Is Risen! Let us celebrate his resurrection from the dead! The Christian faith is faith in Christ, that is, the resurrected Christ. We believe Christ is not just merely a good man who taught others how to be good, even though he was that; we also believe that he was the one who let his life be taken from him so that he could take on the powers of sin and death and overcome them....
