Outside The Asylum

Pope Francis appoints pro-family, pro-marriage, conservative African Cardinal to head the CDWDS , the powerful congregation that dictates how we celebrate the Sacraments. No way will Cardinal Sarah put up with divorce and remarriage, let alone divorce, remarriage , and forcing people to pay taxes just to go to get the Eucharist.

The name of the fish that Rabbi Sacks referred to at the Vatican: BBC News - Sex 'emerged in ancient Scottish lake' : "Microbrachius dicki" 'via Blog this' Somehow, that just fits.

Monogamy Made Us Human | National Review Online : A very interesting theory indeed, that claims that the very thing that sets western civilization apart, is the very thing we are abandoning.

Archbishop Sample has asked My Knights Council to support Building the Domestic Church, the Family Fully Alive . But we're too new of a council, in too unsupportive of a parish, to fully fund our launch. We need a $310 license for showing movies under the DMCA, and we only have half that amount. If you are a follower of mine in this blog, you already know that I'm struggling with my hope over the last couple of years. Despair is something I keep tripping over. I see my volunteering for this program as being a major step towards beginning to have hope again, beginning to find my way to hope that Catholic families will continue at St. Clare's.

It was then, according to this new discovery, that two fish came together to perform the first instance of sexual reproduction known to science. Until then all life had propagated itself asexually, by cell division, budding, fragmentation or parthenogenesis, all of which are far simpler and more economical than the division of life into male and female, each with a different role in creating and sustaining life. When we consider, even in the animal kingdom, how much effort and energy the coming together of male and female takes, in terms of displays, courtship rituals, rivalries and violence, it is astonishing that sexual reproduction ever happened at all. Biologists are still not quite sure why it did. Some say to offer protection agains...

You get such nonsense as the Historical Jesus who somehow seems to morph to fit the theology of whoever is writing about him. The same phenomenon exists in every form of science used to prove political theories.

So ISIS has beheaded another American. But what I don't see anybody pointing out, is that all the Americans so far who have met this end, volunteered for the mission. Probably not intelligently, likely not purposefully, but by traveling to the Middle East during this internal conflict in Islam that has been going on for the past two centuries, they put themselves in this situation willingly.
