We must not give the sexual revolution the force of irrevocable law. The world in which fornication is the rule is a harsh and unforgiving one. The boy and girl—outside of the shelter of a Christian school—cannot hold hands without giving everyone the sign that they are in bed with one another, and so they do not do it. The boy does not ask the girl on a date, because that too implies the bed. The sexual revolution is destroying lives by the millions, right before our eyes, and has corrupted the culture beyond what the worst pessimists ever imagined. And, in this situation, are we to believe that Sodom is the answer? The Church has the answers if she would but heed them and preach them forthrightly. These answers are available to anyone using natural reason. Let them who have eyes open them.

THE ECONOMIC TOOL OF COST ANALYSIS HAS AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN BUILDING ROADS AND DAMS BUT IT HAS A VERY MINOR ROLE TO PLAY IN MATTERS OF HUMAN LIFE SUCH AS ABORTION AND EUTHANASIA

FEBRUARY 3, 2020 Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God DONALD DEMARCO Etienne Gilson was one of the clearest thinking philosophers of the 20thcentury. As a good philosopher, naturally, he fully understood the importance of reason, a power that is often … Continue reading

The truth about those dysfunctional, downscale communities of homeless persons in Los Angeles and San Francisco is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible…. The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Needless to say, no believing Catholic could endorse such a callous attitude towards the poor. Traditional Christians are increasingly estranged from the Conservative Movement™ precisely because of the increasingly dogmatic and irrational adherence to the dogmata of market fundamentalism; the principles enunciated by Rerum Novarum the other papal social encyclicals are still valid.

I PUBLISH THIS POST IN ANTICIPATION OF THE PUBLICATION OF THE APOSTOLIC LETTER ON THE AMAZON SYNOD. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THE APOSTOLIC LETTER MAY PROPOSE ABANDONMENT OF THE PROMISE OF OBLIGATORY CELIBACY FOR PRIESTS ORDAINED IN THE LATIN RITE FOR SERVICE IN THE AMAZON. IF THAT IS TRUE I EXPECT TO WRITE POSTS IN OPPOSITION TO THAT PROPOSAL FOR ABYSSUM FOLLOWING THE PUBLICATION OF THE SYNOD LETTER. AS A FORMER BENEDICTINE MONK I HAVE JOYFULLY LIVED A CELIBATE LIFE BOTH AS A MONK AND AS A DIOCESAN PRIEST. I HAVE ALSO ORDAINED MARRIED FORMER EPISCOPAL PRIESTS UNDER THE ANGLICAN ACCORD FOR SERVICE IN MY DIOCESE. I HAVE HAD MANY FRIENDS AMONG THE CLERGY, MARRIED AND UNMARRIED IN THE EASTERN RITE CHURCHES OF THE Catholic Church. I WILL WRITE FURTHER ON THIS SUBJECT FOLLOWING THE PUBLICATION OF THE APOSTOLIC LETTER ON THE AMAZON SYNOD.

Married priesthood, celibacy, and the Amazon Synod: An Eastern Catholic priest’s perspective The tradition of the Eastern Churches reminds us that the mutually exclusive dichotomy is not between marriage and priesthood but between marriage and monasticism. August 21, 2019  Fr. … Continue reading
