In some of the posts on this blog I have bemoaned (not there is a word I don't use everyday) how we are taking God out of the "Public Square" especially here in the US. This isn't just a Catholic issue or even a Christian issue, it will eventually affect every religion. I am an …

A Revelation
I had a revelation this week. No, it isn't a revelation where God handed me some stone tablets, and it wasn't a revelation like God gave to the apostle John about the end times. No, it was a revelation about what is wrong with the world today About seven years ago I became interested in …
Another Attack From the Progressives
I know my usual Sunday posts are mostly non-political and maybe later I'll write another, but I have to take issue with that bastion of mainstream media ignorance, MSNBC, on a recent story about how the Catholic Church needs to change its position on contraception. In a story from Saturday, MSNBC once again attacks the …
Obamacare, Religious Freedom and the Mandate Amendment
I normally don't cross post on the various blogs for which I write, but every once in awhile I feel the need to do so, in order to spread a message I feel is of particular importance. The Mandate Amendment to the Constitution is one of these issues. Obamacare is bad for this country on so …

Time For Some Hard Thinking
The other day on my Facebook page, The Wayward Catholic, I posted a chart comparing Barack Obama's views on issues as opposed to Catholicism's views. There are thirteen items on the list. Reading it, you have to wonder how any Catholic would vote for him. He accepts all the tenets of Communism and Socialism, even though his supporters do their best to …
The Founding Fathers Had It Right
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Those words were written 234 years ago. What are they telling us as Americans and as Christians? They tell us …
SCOTUS Ruling: Forget About It
For three days now I have been reading about Obamacare and the SCOTUS decision and whether it's good or bad, especially regarding the current fight against the HHS mandate. Let me sum it up this way: IT DOESN'T MATTER!Why? Becasue whether or not this ruling will affect the HHS mandate (personally I don't think it …
SCOTUS Ruling: Not As Bad As It Seems
By now everyone has heard about the Supreme Court's ruling on the "Affordable Healthcare Act" and depending on your political views either think it's great or it's the worst thing that has ever happened. Let me start by saying if you would like my political view on it you can read them on my other blog. …
Religious Freedom: Time To Fight Back
We are in the middle of the “Fortnight of Religious Freedom” which will end July 4th. Have you ever wondered how we allowed ourselves to even get to a position where we would have to be worried about losing our religious liberty? There isn’t a simple answer, there are many factors but one of them, …
Progressive Logic: It’s For The Children
There is a line in the classic Broadway musical “The Music Man” which sums up the logic of the progressive movement. It is when Professor Harold Hill is trying to convince the townspeople why they need a boy’s band/ “We’ve got to protect the children!” Once again we are being told about how laws banning …
