An odd thought about the sexual revolution

 This fourth sexual revolution is a luxury, paid for by 400 years of your ancestors.  It's a selfish luxury at that, one that brings poverty, homelessness, and loneliness.  And eventually a death alone without hope. Honor heterosexuality, build families that have the safety net of generational wealth, avoid divorce and abortion and birth control. The more people you have in your family, the safer you are from starving, going homeless, being treated unequally, and the more owners you know who can give you a job that is fully insured and paid a living wage. Homosexuality and heterosexual promiscuity, can't give you that, though they may be funded by the generational wealth of your ancestors. To build generational wealth, have large families. To afford the luxury of some members of the family NOT being moral (or alternatively, choose the sacrifice of celibacy), have many members of the family who are choosing the vocation of marriage and many children. Because in the end,...

This video says it all

 And I'm only posting a link for a trigger warning. First the Link:  Final arguments with disturbing footage in Linken Riley Murder Case Why it may be triggering- any victim of rape, family of a murder victim, or victim of a crime committed by an illegal immigrant should not watch this. Why it is important to watch anyway:  Because this is why Pope Francis is wrong on illegal human migration.

The Power of The Single Shot

I am not sure if I should be glad Trump is ok, or angry that we have raised a generation of gun owners who do not understand that it is the power of the single shot that allows snipers to be so dangerous.  This is the second attempt where the shooter chose a relatuvely low power weapon with a large magazine over a more accurate higher power hunting rifle that can get the job done from outside the security perimeter.

On the role of human suffering in ends justify the means debates

Question from a DM in Facebook: Kant teaches that the ends never justify the means, that we can't do harm to achieve good. Is this correct under Catholic Thinking? My answer: I dabble in philosophy and theology, so you can take what I say with a grain of salt, but here is my answer. As far as I'm concerned- if a philosophical or theological point hasn't been debated for at least 10 centuries, we haven't thought about it enough yet. I would rephrase it as the ends rarely justify the means- usually the means justify the ends. Additional Question from the DM: Are you Catholic, and could you give me an example? I consider myself a Zen Catholic. I started out as a cradle Catholic, wandered away in my 20s, after learning the value of paradox all the parables in the Bible suddenly made sense so I returned. Have been married for 25 years. The ends justify the means in the protection of the common good- the classic is the assassination of a totalitarian dictator, or ...

It's been 10 months since I found something ridiculous enough to blog here

 Mainly because I've been struggling with employment and autistic burnout.  Thus the only posts that have been seen here, have been accidental cross posts from my Knights of Columbus Blog. That changes today- we're about to start Pride month, and I boycott Pride usually, but this is just too crazy to work. From Not The Bee- the Libertarians just became the Pride Party. You read that right.  The party that used to get 3-4% of the vote, have decided to go after 1-2% of the population. I look forward to Biden explaining why he's better for homosexuality than a performance drag queen.

From my pastor, on Catholic Schools

From Fr. Don, in the bulletin for St. Clare's Church in Portland, OR.  The Archdiocese is being attacked in the media for the information in this link.   I want to re-emphasize what I wrote about last week: the recent media articles about Catholic schools. I was personally at the meeting with the archbishop that got all this media storm started and I don’t expect any changes here at St. Clare School. In spite of what the media is trying to imply, the bishop is NOT asking us to go to a “classical education” model, nor is he asking us to make changes in our gender policy: we have always treated a person in a girl’s body as a girl and a person in a boy’s body as a boy. That’s not new and I don’t think it’s radical. St. Clare School is an outstanding school that loves and supports every student and we will continue our long-standing tradition of nurturing the spiritual and educational development of the whole child.

How to win, politically

 This post was originally written about the Presidential race in the United States, but it could easily be adapted in many of its planks to fighting back against the pornocracy at any level of government. These are the party planks I want to see in a primary from *any* primary race.  You can easily tailor them to the jurisdiction you are running in. - Be pro-life to the point of supporting unwed mothers and heterosexual marriage for parents of children between conception and age 21.   - Eliminate bigotry against the unwanted and disabled in the forms of euthanasia, abortion, and transgender mutilation - Fund marital counseling services to reduce and eliminate divorce.   - Bring us a *workable* plan to start rolling back the Imperialistic financial aid and armed forces from the United States that the pornocracy has been using to push homosexuality, abortion, and birth control on the third world. - God's Children are Not for Sale; repurpose those troops to fr...
