Happy Independence Day! Today is the 242nd anniversary of this great country of ours. It's sad to think of how many of our fellow Americans have forgotten some of the principles this country was founded on. I am going to share some of them today. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men …

What Kind of Catholic Are You
Anyone who has followed this blog for some time will know that I am a freedom of speech and freedom of religion kind of guy. I believe that the United States Constitution is the second most important document ever written. The first being the Bible. Because of this I believe everyone has the right to …
Damn Those Churchy People
You just can't trust those churchy people. That's what I was told in a conversation I had a while back, the person who said it shall remain anonymous. I asked what exactly was meant by "churchy people." He said, "You know, those people that go to church and are always trying to do good when …
Kicking God to the Curb
One of my favorite Catholic talk show hosts talked about a recent Gallup poll yesterday that reported on recent trends in the acceptability of things that used to be considered immoral and now are accepted as moral. (see Gallup poll here) I did write a little about it in my other blog, the more political one, …
Either You Are Catholic or You Are Not
You are either Catholic or you aren't. No, this isn't an attempt to convert everyone out there to Catholicism, but rather it is directed to those who claim to be Catholic, yet don't follow the teachings of the church.

Hearing this news started me thinking, which as you may know is always dangerous for me. I won't bore you with my opinions on the decisions, other than to say I think that this will lead …
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 …
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 …

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 …
