Pro-Life or Pro-Choice

Image
 Before we begin this conversation, we have to be open to the facts. The argument of “pro-life” and “pro-choice” is based on religious beliefs. Many religious people are trying to rationalize teh argument as if nature gave some clear indication either way. Nature does not care, nature has eliminated 98% of the species on this planet, and we might be next. Having said that, No one has a red phone that connects directly to God.  I have been going through my life living as a Catholic trying to follow Christian principles. None of which are based on DEMANDING that others live the way I believe. I have read the gospels from beginning to end. I also read the Old Testament but not as diligently as I have read the Gospels. Lately one of the arguments that has divided Christians so much is the question of whether abortion is or is not a sin. I have seen in the Old Testament a paragraph which I shall put here as a point to ponder. — Numbers 5:19–24 “And the priest shall cause her to swe...

Start of Election year

Image
Well, my friends we have another election cycle coming at us this year. we need to figure out who is going to be running the country for the next 4 years. We have President Biden and we have Trump trying to challenge him.  To make a proper decision we need to weigh some factors. we need to go under the skin of these two people and find out what are their intentions for the next 4 years.  Now when it comes to Joe Biden we know what he's done He has committed some failures himself. He promised to eliminate student loans, but he has not done that for the majority of the students.  He's done partially that for some students but not the majority.  He promised to implement a more strict electric vehicle policy, but he has not done that.  What he has done is to stave off inflation caused by Trump and his tax breaks.  He is working with the result of BOTTLENECKING the border, which started during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bidden is not the sharpest tool in teh shed, b...

What Is an Insurrection ?

Image
Good morning my friends, we are at a turning point in our country, and one of teh biggest questions before us is, DID TRUMP participate in an insurrection on January 6?  The first thing we have to do is define what is an insurrection in legal terms. I found the following definition at https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2384    "If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both." What is an insurrection?  “TWO or more people “ have we met tha...

Morality and Homosexuality

Image
  Hello my friends, recently, I read a post from the CNA newsletter, in which it is advertised that Bishop Barron, https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256105/bishop-barron-in-frank-disagreement-with-synod-on-synodality-s-report-on-development-of-moral-teaching (much like Strickland), does not like some of the conclusions of the latest synod. This is in reference to the moral standing of homosexuality and in short the whole LGBTQIA community.  It is sad to see that people who are supposed to represent Christ's teachings, would reduce it to a simple “it is my deposit of faith”. Authorities such as Bishop Barron continue without understanding or accepting the fact that, “Christian Morality “can't be static. This is why Christ was crucified, He was advertising a “kingdom of heaven” that challenged “the written laws, and tradition”. That is teh essence of Christ, challenging laws and tradition in teh name of love and Charity towards the poor, teh weak, and the segregated, in t...
