There are many people out there today, two days after the reelection of Barack Obama, who are wondering "What's next?' While this is true for many diverse groups, it is especially true for devout Catholics. We can argue over whether the "Five non-negotiables" are really negotiable, whether Mitt Romney being a Mormon hurt him with …
The Vine Dresser
It's the day after the election and a somewhat disappointing one at that. I have to question why is this? How could people be so ignorant as to re-elect the current president? But then I found the answer, or at least part of it. We live in country where the majority of people only care about themselves. …
The Future is Now
Two more days to make some much needed changes to this country. This is where you can either vote for more of the same, and we can continue on the path to destruction, or vote for real "Hope and Change" and get us back on track to being the country we were founded to be. …
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
While doing some research today, I came across this table on making decisions. It's funny how God seems to send me these things when I have questions. Okay, okay, I know he doesn't directly send these things to me or does he? How to Make Decisions Often when we are making decisions we want to …
Weathering the Storm
I am writing this the day after Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast leaving a path of destruction, especially in the mid-Atlantic area. While I had some heavy rain and powerful wind gusts here, for the most part it seems we made it through okay. As I watched the wind buffet the trees, wondering if any …
Obama and the Planned Parenthood Lie
In Tuesday's debate our President claimed that millions of women relied on Planned Parenthood for mammograms. Of course there isn't one Planned parenthood clinic which is licensed to have a mammogram machine. As pointed out in this article on CatholicOnline the President has lied and they give two explanations as to why. Either we must accept that the …
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 …
Are You Like Peter
How many of us are like Peter, denying Jesus even though we claim we won't? Do we deny that we know him? Do we try to distance ourselves from him? I would wager any of us do. October 11, 2012, began "The Year of Faith"> The upcoming Year of Faith declared by Pope Benedict XVI is a “summons …
Joe Biden: I’m Practicing
Joe Biden claims he is a "practicing Catholic" and that his religion "defines who I am". So does he keep practicing until he gets it right? I don't claim to be an expert on Catholicism or any religion for that matter, but let me give you what Biden said during the VP debate: “My religion …
Responsibility
In my last post I talked about choices. We all make choices, but that is only have the battle, because each choice has a consequence, a result. When we make bad choices, we get bad results. When we make good choices, we get good results. But what really matters is how we handle the consequences, do we …
