The line in the sand

Monsignor — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 04:23:44 +0000

If you are anything like me you might have times of ’self-disappointment’ in your life. I used to have them in spades but, as I’ve got older, the frequency has diminished; diminished, not gone. In my case it usually happens when I act in a way that is contrary to what I know is good. [...]

Not so common, but sense

Monsignor — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 23:27:46 +0000

God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple. That is the substance of [...]

Believing is seeing

Monsignor — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 04:29:06 +0000

The more I think about a life led by belief in an invisible God, the more ridiculous the whole concept seems. Many people have reportedly staked their lives for God, martyrs for a cause built upon a distinct lack of concrete, if not at least credible, evidence. This is not exclusive to followers of God [...]

Homosexuality in da house

Monsignor — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 18:16:17 +0000

I have thought long and hard about the question of homosexuality and for the most part have avoided it in discussions. I avoided it because I did not really understand how I felt about the subject.
