Catholic Dads

[Originally posted on Super(Catholic)Man.] Recently, I posted a slightly snarky comment on Facebook regarding “10.2% unemployment” and “change”. My sister responded with her own comment, which is decidedly further left than my own position.  Now Thanksgiving is coming up and, as we do each year, we will all (my brother, my sister and her “partner” [...]

Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7HpSuyaOwY I was there last night because, I am convinced that if everyone in the world would stand for the oppressed then no power can resist that pressure. (If you care to find me, I am at the end at 2:01 – 2:04.) Today it is the Iranians, yesterday – the Rwandans, Albanians in [...]

Some days I can’t figure out whether to nod my head in agreement or shake it in disbelief. When we get to talking about Camille Paglia, a dissident-liberal-gay-feminist, I get to do both at the same time. It is possible to admire someone for their intellectual honesty and analysis and still disagree with their conclusions [...]

We constantly hear the lament (usually in an election year) that the American people are “deeply divided” on social issues.

A few days ago, I made mention of a new Catholic Internet TV station – RealCatholicTV.com. I signed up as soon as I heard about it (it’s free for most content). I have been impressed with the content being produced — the news, commentary on “The Vortex”, saint of the day, this day in history, [...]

Found this great link on Speakout.com which shows you in general what your political philosophy is and how you match up with the candidates: Presidential, Senate, House. I found it interesting: apparently I’m a Conservative-leaning Populist. Take it with a grain of salt, but it does help you to think about the issues, especially if [...]

In case you have not heard, the Supreme Politburo Court for the Peoples Republic of California has ruled that the people in the state do not have the right to create a law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. What’s more it was the ruling of only 4 people that essentially [...]

The remarkable thing about this story is not what it says, but that it comes from the AP, via MSNBC: NEW YORK – In American pop culture, the face of abortion is often a frightened teenager, nervously choosing to terminate an unexpected pregnancy. The numbers tell a far more complex story in which financial stress [...]

A proposed law in California has come to my attention twice in the past 24 hours – once through a forwarded email from The Word Among Us and once from an article at California Catholic.
