What Happens to America’s Poor if the Police Are Defunded?

By |2020-06-05T04:52:45+00:00June 5th, 2020|Theology|

I've done missionary work in Central America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.  After so much travel, I can say in very good confidence that we in the USA have the least corrupt police departments of anywhere in the world. Our cops sometimes do horrible things, as the George Floyd video demonstrates. But here's what anyone who has lived outside the United States already knows: In most third-world countries, the only people with physical protection are the rich who can afford private security guards for their families. The police in most third-world countries are so corrupt that they are frequently in cahoots with traffickers. If a woman loses her husband [...]

The Nanny-State Wants to Babysit Your Family

By |2020-05-12T16:49:57+00:00May 12th, 2020|Theology|

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPrbGU0Wyh4 Last week, on 28 April 2020, Tucker Carlson had a 15 minute segment on Fox News (above) called “Big Tech Censors Dissent Over Coronavirus Lockdowns."  At minute 5, Tucker talks about how Dr. Erickson MD (the doctor who countered corona-hype with data that was unwelcome) was removed from numerous internet platforms. The CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, justified such removals on a CNN clip that Fox News borrowed.  She said anything “medically unsubstantiated..anything that would go against World Health Organization” would be removed from YouTube. Tucker continues his critique: “Big Technology companies are using this tragedy [of COVID-19] to increase their power over the American population. They’re working in concert [...]

The Designation “Essential” Goes Against Catholic Social Teaching

By |2020-05-12T02:18:15+00:00May 9th, 2020|Theology|

I took the above picture today at a parking lot near Denver International Airport.  I'm sure they're a fine company, and this is not a blog post against them.  But as I left the lot, it hit me that what most US governors now consider "essential" is really just a categorization that is at best arbitrary and at worst discriminatory against the small business owner. My words above do not reveal a very brilliant epiphany, to be sure. Every one of us have noted the long lines to get into Home Depot or Wal-Mart (big business) while a Dallas hair stylist (small business) gets thrown in jail for trying to stay [...]

Mail Policy

By |2019-12-12T21:05:20+00:00November 20th, 2019|Events|

Dear Friends, Ave Maria!  For mail correspondence with me, I humbly ask two things: No packages.  This is because my PO box in downtown Denver is #1445 in the picture above.  As you can see, no packages can fit in that, and if the USPS tries to jam packages in there, there is a chance that other mail to be will be rejected. I won't be taking Mass stipends.  Mass stipends, as most of you know, are money to offer Mass.  Besides the fact that a Mass stipend is no longer enough for a priest to make a living on, this policy also allows me to take Mass requests from [...]

Science and Religion Part 1: Epistemology

By |2019-09-28T08:01:20+00:00September 28th, 2019|Theology|

Epistemology is the study of how a knower can know things.  It is a study of both the learner (the subject) and the learned topic (the object.) Epistemology is both subjective and objective.  Science, on the other hand, is simply concerned with the learned topic, or the object, and hence we say that the goal of science is to be purely objective via data presented.  Scientia is Latin for "knowledge."  Science is the mind's conformity to reality, not to an agenda.  This also presupposes that the mind, via the five senses, can actually grasp objective truth.  Properly speaking, there is no room for a political agenda or even relativism in true [...]
