Amoris Laetitia, the Cardinals, and this missing word

Image
Way back last April, on my 2nd reading of Amoris Laetitia, I had the idea to try to find out what the simple message of the document was, by using  word frequency tables  and generating a Word Cloud: Church Family Can Love Life. That simple phrase, I believe, sums up what Pope Francis was really trying to say with Amoris Laetitia. But as in any family, the devil lies in trying to communicate, communicate a Truth much larger than just our human love- the Truth of Christ. The Truth of Christ doesn't always feel good. It is not the easy way out. Mercy can't be allowed to destroy justice. And yet, today on Crisis Magazine, we have a  Bishop from Kazakstan claiming that four Cardinals, four Prophets, are being ignored. Four Prophets who claim that due to errornous interpretations of Amoris Laetitia, confusion has been created. Four Prophets who say that with Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia, in certain diocese and certain countries in the world, Mercy has been allowed ...

The smug style of American Liberalism

I've noticed this for years , that American intellectualism has a major blind spot.  Those ivory towers have become fortresses; people who don't know where their food comes from try to dictate to everybody else how to live.

I'm shocked

Trump is President, but the real story is that rural and blue collar voters came out in record numbers.  May he live to be inaugurated.  Perhaps the Secret Service should contact the surviving police in Mexico to see how to protect him against MS-13. Locally, anybody vote for Kate Brown AND Dennis Richardson?  Somebody must have.  This is a hole in my mercy I need to fill.

The Information Age and US Politics

Pick your poison.   Vote for Hillary, Vote for ISIS.   Or Vote For Trump, Vote For Russia.   Or you could just do what I did, and do a vote for a third party like the American Solidarity Party

Just in time for Halloween

AIDS virus linked to New York City Promiscuous Culture , not just homosexual but also heterosexual.  Made the jump to San Francisco in 1976. The same report traces it back further to Haiti and Africa in the 1960s, and the jump from apes to humans in Africa in the early 20th century.  But illicit sex and drug use has *always* been the primary transmission method, aberosexuality of any type is evil.

More proof that the media has been engineering the United States Political Process.

And now Harvard pol-sci students reveal that the media set Donald Trump up as a strawman candidate just to take him down.

Been a busy month

New jobs always mean less blog postings from me. But the Podestra e-mail dump from wikileaks proves two things: 1.  The Democratic party has become irredeemably anti-Catholic. 2.  The Republican party has been attacked by a mole, a Democrat, whose name is Donald Trump, specifically to destroy the moral base of the Republican Party, and Donald Trump was backed in the primary by the Clinton Campaign. I cannot stay silent about either of these turns, which has produced what I now call the Satanic States of America.
