A recent article on TownHall.com written by John Hawkins in which he outlines five signs that American society is degenerating. I agree with all five and can be all traced to one main cause. The five signs are as follows: Dependency Debt Decay in entertainment Politics Marriage When you read Hawkins' descriptions of these five, …
The Subversion of Morality Continues
I often write about the Progressive movement and how they are constantly undermining Christian beliefs. They want to be in charge, they don't want God to be in charge, they don't want a young person's parents to be in charge, they want to control your thinking, your mores. Here is a "Guide" put out by …
What’s In It For Me
In my last two posts I bemoaned the results of the presidential elections. My take on the results is that we have become a "What's in it for me" culture and we vote accordingly, for whoever will give us more, for less. We have also become a "culture of death", where many of us no …
Evil and the Light
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 …
