Thoughts from the Prophet Alexandr Solzhenitsyn (A Few Words for Wednesday)

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:54 pm By Frank Weathers

What follows are a few paragraphs from Alexandr Solzhenitsyn’s lecture that, according to the endnotes, was “delivered only to the Swedish Academy and not actually given as a lecture.” It was delivered in 1970, and is an homage to the trinity of truth, goodness, and beauty. The entire essay is simply entitled Nobel Lecture in Literature 1970. Solzhenitsyn’s insights are valuable not only because of his stature as an artist, but because of the life that he lived. The following excerpt comes from the... Read more

The Tragic Tale of State-Sponsored Eugenics, Made Personal UPDATED

Back on Friday, I shared some information on our nations history with you that wasn’t very pretty. Though a lot of folks read the post, and shared the post, it should come as no surprise that not many folks “liked” the post. Given the subject matter, that is to be expected, as forced/coerced sterilizations of folks who were labeled as “undesirables” doesn’t exactly warm the cockles of our hearts. (more…) Read more

For The Thoughts Of (And a Prayer For) My Favorite “Friendly” Atheist Who Believed in Hell

Last updated on: January 19, 2015 at 10:59 pm By Frank Weathers

Let me preface this post with an acknowledgement of the fact that philosopher George Santayana died as an atheist. But as an atheist, Santayana put pen to paper on some Catholic ideas that lack only one thing, really. And that one thing is the simple faith of a child in order to believe them. As minds of adults go, George had an intellect that was top notch. But as Our Lord said, Amen, I say to you, unless you turn... Read more

Because You Can Never Learn Too Much About The Faith UPDATED

The folks over at John Paul the Great Catholic University have a great idea that will be good for the whole family. It’s a course on The Pillars of Catholicism, built around the 13 pillars in the graphic above. I like the number 13. It’s the one that comes after 12. And it looks to be a great way to spend 13 hours or so over the next 13 weeks. Here’s a taste from the trailer that JPGCU posted... Read more

The Tragic Tale of State-Sponsored Eugenics in America UPDATED

There I was, making the commute home from work after a long day. The skies were overcast, yet the forecast rain had yet to start falling. I fired up the radio, and cycled through the channels listening to a snippet of a song here, and a song there. Traffic up ahead started slowing down, making tunes like Radar Love overkill as speeds dipped below 30 miles per hour. So as the traffic congestion caused brake lights to flicker, I flipped...
