For Blessed John Duns Scotus’s Thoughts On The Immaculate Conception

Last updated on: December 27, 2014 at 10:24 pm By Frank Weathers

Last Christmas, I shared what I called mind blowing thoughts of Blessed Duns Scotus on the Incarnation. Yesterday, though, was the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Blessed Duns Scotus is a big reason why, roughly 550 years after his thinking on the matter, Pope Pius IX (in 1854) infallibly declared the dogma that we celebrate just as the season of Advent rounds into week #2.

For Dana Gioia’s Thoughts On The Vocation Of The Catholic Writer

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:39 pm By Frank Weathers

A lot of ink has been spilt these last few days since Evangelii Gaudium was published. Much of what has been said about it isn’t worth the pixels that have been wasted so far. The same old tired arguments from the usual suspects seeking to undermine any moral authority that Pope Francis is seeking to wield by his even bothering to publish it. (more…) Read more

Helen Alvaré Speaks Her Mind On The HHS Mandate

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:13 pm By Frank Weathers

A few days before Thanksgiving, the Supreme Court decided to hear arguments in a couple of cases regarding religious liberty and the HHS Mandate. The biggest surprise to me was how this news garnered scant attention. In an effort to move that needle a bit, Helen Alvaré has a piece up in USA Today entitled, Obamacare attacks religion, but hurts women. Take a look, (more…) Read more

We Are Being “Outevangelized” Because We Have “Outscandalized” Folks

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 11:35 pm By Frank Weathers

Yesterday I shared a post written by Gerard Nadal wherein he explained that when it comes to the subject of same-sex marriage, we were not “outmarketed,” as Cardinal Timothy Dolan said in an interview on Fox News, but we were “outevangelized.” Today comes another story from the papers. One in which your intrepid, if simplistic, naive, ignorant (and whatever other description you care to make), blogger can calmly, albeit sadly, compose a brief post with the title above. A story...
