When You’re Doing Your Taxes, Don’t Wig Out When You’re Asked If You’re In A Same-Sex Marriage…

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 9:05 am   By Frank Weathers

Because it will come up in the questionnaires, see? You can call it a sign of the times if you like. Most likely it’s because many states don’t recognize same-sex marriages, and income tax preparers are trying to help folks navigate the shoals of their state and local tax codes. Oh, since we’re on the subject of homosexuality, a couple of the bloggers here at the Patheos Catholic Channel are talking about gay-related subjects. (more…) Read more

I Watched “Noah,” And Didn’t Lose My Faith

Last updated on: February 22, 2015 at 9:08 pm   By Frank Weathers

Actually, Joe Six-Pack did the unthinkable and saw two (count ’em!) movies this weekend. The first was for a date night with my wife, and the second was because of all the hullabaloo about Darren Aronofsky’s latest effort. Since you’re dying to know what the first film was, lets get it out of the way first. (more…) Read more

UK Health Minister Orders End To The Use Of Aborted Fetus Remains As Fuel For Hospital Waste To Energy Plants

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm   By Frank Weathers

What an awful headline. It’s like something that Charlton Heston was screaming in Soylent Green. It sounds like something from a classic English fairy tale meant to terrify children to bed. A pair of British hospitals this month acknowledged burning the remains of aborted babies for energy to heat the building in a practice aping Jonathan Swift’s A Modest Proposal, by which the 18th century children of the Irish poor would be sold for food to the rich.

Hobby Lobby/ Conestoga Wood SCOTUS Arguments Recap & Transcript

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm   By Frank Weathers

Over at the SCOTUS Blog, Lyle Denniston called it “one hearing, two dramas.” The Supreme Court, in a one-hour, twenty-eight-minute session Tuesday, staged something like a two-act play on a revolving stage: first the liberals had their chance and Justice Anthony M. Kennedy gave them some help, and then the scene shifted entirely, and the conservatives had their chance — and, again, Kennedy provided them with some support. (more…) Read more

9 Catholic Priest Scientists That “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” Never Heard Of UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm   By Frank Weathers

  The folks at RealClearScience do the heavy lifting that MacFarlane, Tyson, & Co., didn’t do. Like the belief that vaccines cause autism or that GMOs are unhealthy, the notion that science and religion are in permanent conflict is a myth. This superficial argument persists, no matter how much evidence accumulates against it. Mostly, the controversy is kept alive by a handful of individuals — some more obnoxious than others — who have built their careers encouraging and exploiting discord... Read more

A Funny Thing I Noticed About “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” UPDATED

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:12 pm   By Frank Weathers

  Have you been watching the show? Perhaps I should rephrase that to, “Did you watch the second episode?” I haven’t seen much written about the second episode, so I figure only Artur Rosman and I may have actually sat through it. Doing so, it became pretty clear to me that scientism, and not science, is what is on display in Seth MacFarlane’s show. That and the creativity of his cartoons. (more…) Read more
