Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square, 12 May 2013. Photo by Edgar Jiménez [Wikimedia Commons / Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license] *** [someone asked me about this, and I answered; and add many more thoughts presently] I think Pope Francis says confusing things sometimes (and too many times), yes. “Germanic” Pope Benedict-like or Aquinas-like articulation and concision is not his high suit. He has other gifts (ones also sorely needed in the Church). I also think that... Read more

The Usual [Sad] “Discussion” with “Angry”-Type LGBTQ Activists . . . Photo by Victor Gregory (11-9-07) [Flickr / CC BY 2.0 license] ***** I wrote a critique of the article, “Orlando,” by a transgender LGBT activist, Callie Wright. Mine was entitled, “Orlando, “Homophobia”, Terrorism, & Slander.” Callie tried to make the case that Christian right-wing homophobes were the cause behind the Orlando massacre, if not directly, then by fairly close secondary causation. I opposed that, and made the case, that it was... Read more
Omar Mateen: the jihadi / ISIS terrorist who killed 50 and wounded 53 in Orlando [You Tube video / Creative Commons You Tube license] *** The mass murder in Orlando was detestable, outrageous, and abominable: unthinkably wicked: from the very pit of hell. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the victims and as Catholics, we can still pray for the dead victims, too. May God comfort all of those who have been tragically affected by this evil... Read more
(Including Luther’s Dissent at the Leipzig Disputation in 1519) Leipzig Disputation, by Julius Hübner (1806-1882) [public domain / Wikimedia Commons] *** (10-8-07) *** It would be a complex discussion regarding what exactly constitutes the equivalent of infallibility, if the word itself is not present. There are many similar notions such as papal authority, conciliar authority, papal primacy, headship, papal supremacy, indefectibility, being without error, the impossibility of disagreeing with a papal proclamation without one’s orthodoxy being questioned, etc. All of...
