That you were able to do this tells me that you have no real moral conscience.

God is Straight

by Rev. Gerard Lessard, OP | Jun 9, 2018 | Culture, Education, Family, Marriage, Science, Scripture, Theology | 3 |

Homosexuality is not a state of being because it is not inherent to created nature. It does not participate in the absolute Being of He-Who-Is. Rather, it is a state of privation or of the absence of something that should exist. Homosexuality is a shadow or cavity in the soul.

Please Consider the Morality of Your Memes

by Rev. Gerard Lessard, OP | Aug 17, 2017 | 2016 Election, America, Ethics, Featured, Media, Politics | 0 |

The reason that memes came into existence is that we have become so bombarded with words from advertisements to propaganda that we need to filter the cacophony to garner the gold dust from the sand.

The False God of Diversity Versus Catholicity

by Rev. Gerard Lessard, OP | Jul 5, 2017 | Catholic Church, Culture, Featured | 1 |

Diversity without morality, then, has become a false Catholicity promoted by the Devil who mocks the universality of the Church. As an end in itself, diversity is a false god that stretches ever outward to wider peripheries causing division, not unity.

A Pro-Life Evangelical’s Surprising Reaction to a Catholic Nun

by Kim Ketola | Aug 3, 2015 | Catholic Church, Ethics, Family, Featured, Politics, Social Teaching, Theology | 37 |

Sister Joan should inform her followers that she is at odds with the teachings of the faith tradition she represents, the Roman Catholic Church. One of the main reasons anyone would give heed to her words is that she is a Catholic nun.

The Pandora’s Box of Obergefell v. Hodges

by | Jun 28, 2015 | America, Conservatism, Culture, Ethics, Faith, Family, Featured, Marriage, Politics | 2 |

The gift of human existence, its embodiment in two sexes — Adam and Eve — has been swept aside to satisfy a politicized homosexual agenda, which will not stop at “marriage” but will demand explicit affirmation. With that affirmation will come an explicit demand for the rejection of the Judeo-Christian worldview and values, as articulated by Pope Francis.

Joy, Not Fear, Shelters Our Children

by Elizabeth Pham | Jun 15, 2015 | America, Catholic Church, Culture, Education, Ethics, Faith, Family, Featured, Marriage, Spirituality | 0 |

I think the lack of confidence and timidity that is often seen among traditional Christian homeschooling families has much less to do with Christianity and much more to do with fear.

Balanced On the Edge, Ready to Fall?

by Carolyn Schuster | May 6, 2015 | America, Catholic Church, Conservatism, Culture, Ethics, Faith, Featured, History, Manners, Spirituality, Theology | 2 |

Is it too late? Spiritually speaking, never. Culturally speaking, maybe. A vacuum has been created by the rejection of external and universal truth. It has not been filled adequately by subjective truth, and moral relativism has not only failed to stem the growth of the black hole that the next generation is being pulled into, it has grown it and deepened its pull.

The Search for True Happiness, Revisited

by Deal Hudson | May 5, 2015 | Catholic Church, Ethics, Faith, Featured, History, Manners, Politics, Scripture, Spirituality, Theology | 1 |

I concluded that happiness is passion of a certain kind but not the kind of passion immediately identified with romantic love or lust. Happiness is passion in the way a sudden religious conversion can change a person’s life. Suddenly you know something that changes everything, that your entire life must be directed by.
