Animal Projection at St. Peter’s (Vatican) Homework: Saint Bonaventure’s Journey of the Mind to God

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:42 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

In case you missed it, NBC reports that the Vatican allowed a light show to be projected onto St. Peter’s in order to bring awareness to climate change and our call to care for God’s creation – that includes ourselves. I only heard about the creation images projected onto Saint Peter’s by people who were bashing it – why were they bashing it? I won’t provide links to the various sorrowful complaints by different admired writers, it’s pointless. It makes... Read more

Synod on the Family, 1980 Style: What’s hard to find in ‘pro-family’ talking points?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:42 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Remember the 1980 Synod on the family? Something came out of it that John Paul II mentions in Familiaris Consortio that would make some on the left and some on the right uncomfortable. Well, this is true if what the Church teaches generally makes you uncomfortable. What the Synod Fathers suggest is nothing new – even then – and is still a long ways from being actualized. What does a pro-family culture look like? Consider this proposed Charter of Family Rights, from par.... Read more

Does Fr. Dwight Longenecker Teach what the Church teaches on Catholic-Muslim Relations?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:43 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Today’s post at Fr. Dwight Longenecker’s blog treats the relation of Catholics with Muslims and Islam. Fr. Longenecker writes: …it is so difficult to separate out the religion of Islam from the political aspirations of ISIS and from the motivations and actions of the terrorists. Clinton and Obama may wish to separate Islam from the actions of ISIS and the terrorists, but it is difficult to do so and be honest. What is needed is for Muslims themselves to forswear...

Catholic Worker Inspirations: Peter Kropotkin on Mutual Aid Amongst Ourselves

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:33 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

The intellectual foundations of Catholic Worker Co-founder, Servant of God Dorothy Day (1897-1980), on extreme poverty and anarchism drew heavily from the work of the Russian anarchist, geographer, zoologist, and philosopher, Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921). Kropotkin sought to refute the position of social darwinists who would place individual competition and struggle for survival at the center of their evolutionary theory. Instead, Kropotkin would argue, mutual aid, not just among members of one species, but among various species, was preferred in order... Read more

Unas palabras contra el capitalismo, por Cardenal Jorge Bergoglio (Papa Francisco)

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:43 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

En sus reflexiones sobre el reunion entre Juan Pablo II y Fidel Castro (Dialogos entre Juan Pablo II y Fidel Castro, Editorial Ciudad Argentina, 1998) Jorge Bergoglio (ahorra Papa Francisco) nos ofrece unas palabras contra el capitalismo. En varios grupos encontramos algunas que rechazan a nuestro Santo Padre Francisco, diciendo que no tiene la experiencia necesario para criticar la sistema capitalista. Debemos entender que la critica de la iglesia contra el capitalismo preexiste cada persona que vive hoy. Entonces, con Bergoglio (Francisco),... Read more

Gun Violence and the Religious Nones: If Family is the Remedy, What Assaults the Family?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:43 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Many of our friends identifying as religious conservatives (or conservative religious?) are correct to see the family as a major, vital structure in the establishment of our society. It is the breakdown of the family, it’s been submitted, which is to blame for not a few of society’s ills. Some of these ills include (gun) violence and a lack of interest in religion. This makes sense. But, everything is connected. In what ways are we hurting the family institution? Some... Read more

11 Times (Out of Thousands) Saint John Paul II Embraced the Republican Party

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:44 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Check out these 11 times Saint John Paul II produced some solid teachings on the right to life! Use some of these to scrutinize the positions of your political candidates: 1. The State must ensure to all its members the possibility of a full development of their person. This requires that those who are in conditions of necessity and need owing to illness, poverty, disablements of various kinds, should be offered those services and those aids which their particular situation...

Don’t be too quick to consider yourself unjustifiably prayer shamed, but keep praying. We all are thinking about what happened in California today. Please keep the victims & their families in your prayers. — Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) December 2, 2015 We should all pray, if we pray, for all those who suffer. We should also pray for our enemies and those who harm others and ourselves. It seems to make sense that many are fed up with the prayers of... Read more

Capitalists Should Be Nervous: A Response to Fr. Robert Barron on Laudato Si’

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:44 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Back to Europe. A third model was added to the two models of the 19th century: socialism. Socialism took two main paths — the democratic and the totalitarian one. Democratic socialism became a healthy counterbalance to radically liberal positions in both existing models. It enriched and corrected them. It proved itself even when religious confessions took over… In many ways, democratic socialism stands and stood close to the Catholic social teachings. It in any case contributed a substantial amount to... Read more

Laudato si’ Invites You: An Economy Beyond Capitalism

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:39 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

A group within a people has no claim to being favored in the distribution of goods and honors because it produces a large quantity of useful consumer goods. – Max Scheler, Ressentiment The world received Laudato si’ this year and, as a result, has a lot to consider. The 190-pages of Francis’ second encyclical demands a universal examination of conscience and begs a critical re-thinking of our ways of living and the social structures we have in place. Reading the encyclical is, I think,... Read more
