King David is Criticized Soundly, and Takes It Like A Man

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, many of the stories we find in the Bible rival Shakespeare’s works in terms of their sweeping grandeur and poignant messages. In fact, as others more erudite than Joe Six-Pack have argued, without the Bible, much of what we take for literature would have no foundation on which to stand. What follows is an episode that could have come right out of the Bard’s Macbeth. (more…) Read more

The HHS Mandate is a Very Foul and Dangerous Thing

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

This may surprise you, but many folks have no idea how repellent the HHS Mandate is to our way of life. And I don’t just mean the Catholic way of life, but to the American Way of life, which rests on the rights enshrined in the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

As the Organic Food Craze Runs Its Course…

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

Here’s something that HHS will never warn women about. The irony of utilizing artificial hormones for birth control is lost on the Sex and the City crowd. They’re too concerned about buying organic veggies at Whole Foods, while putting their brains in neutral when at Walgreens and CVS. Be weird. Be different. Take “organic” to it’s natural conclusion.

Argo, See It! And Other Movie Stuff…

Last updated on: May 23, 2016 at 8:34 pm By Frank Weathers

Or should I say ARGOSEEIT! You’ll “get” that after you do. I know I’m way out of my depth here, recommending movies and such, but my wife and I went and saw Ben Affleck in Argo last night and I recommend that you do too. Boldly going on Facebook and telling the world to go see a film is something I rarely do. The last time I did something as foolhardy as this, it was to recommend Moonrise Kingdom, which... Read more

You Don’t Have to be Catholic to Recognize Joe Biden’s Remarkable Incoherence on Abortion

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

Here at Patheos, there are many different viewpoints from folks from many different faith traditions. Timothy Dalrymple isn’t a Catholic, for example. But one doesn’t need to be a Catholic to recognize cognitive dissonance of the magnitude that was displayed by Vice President Biden during the recent debate with candidate Paul Ryan. Some of the liberal commentators who recognized that Biden came across as an angry and condescending thought that his finest moments were at the end, when he grew... Read more

Sneak Preview of an American Catholic Political Party!

Some folks are dreamers, wishing upon a star.

Why is a Catholic Political Party an impossibility? Roll tape, (more…) Read more

Mr. Biden Gets “the Facts” Wrong

Don Clemmer of the USCCB explains, Detective Joe Friday style.

A Quote for Election Seasons, Past, Present, and Future

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 1:16 pm By Frank Weathers

“It is your duty to vote. To neglect to do so would be a culpable abdication of duty on your part. It is your duty to vote honestly; that is to say, for men worthy of your esteem and trust. It is your duty to vote wisely; that is to say, in such a way as not to waste your votes. It would be better to cast them for candidates who, although not giving complete satisfaction to all our...

God Gave Us the Vote So We Could Make Fools of Ourselves

Last updated on: June 24, 2016 at 10:01 am By Frank Weathers

Meanwhile, His will prevails, which is part of the reason why I don’t spend much time worrying about the sanctity of voting. Oh sure, I’ve explained how the First Past the Post system works here in the U.S., and I’ve said I get a healthy bit of advice from Chesterton’s Democracy of the Dead. I even said I’ll be voting for Romney, long before the polls made a victory look feasible. But all this angst about voting, and it’s purported... Read more
