Abortion is Not a Problem. It’s a Solution.
Abortion is a solution. It is a terrible solution. An intrinsically evil solution. It is, by definition, artificially ending the life in the womb. It is a solution nonetheless. I consider myself pro-life, but I get frustrated with my compatriots when they don’t acknowledge an abortion as a solution. If we see it as the…

Euthanasia the Epitome of Capitalistic Efficiency
Pope Leo’s latest encyclical, Humanitas Magnifica, says, “When efficiency becomes the ultimate measure of value, human beings are tempted to see themselves as a project to be optimized rather than as persons called to relationship and communion.” This is crystal clear in terms of Euthanasia. The desire to artificially end someone’s life is at best…

Colorblindness Helps Explain Sola Scriptura?
The human eye is one of the most sophisticated product of evolution nature has to offer. The process of receiving electromagnetic light through the cornea which translates into images that the human brain can decipher and react to is awe inspiring. The corneas are the transparent part of the coat of the eyeball that covers…

The Human Tradition that All Protestants Use Shamelessly.
Jesus Christ established a church in the First Century. I believe all Christians can agree to that sentence. The breakdown is about who, what, where, why, when, and how He established the Church. After two thousand years, the question is how much of what we call “The Church” today is divinely inspired or human creation?…

What Kungfu Movies Taught Me about the Virgin Mary.
I was a fan of Jackie Chan growing up. The jumps and stunts in the movies inspired my childhood shenanigans to my mother’s chagrin. The stories involved overcoming obstacles both physical and spiritual. The protagonist is on a path of self-discovery and must adapt and change to find the fulfillment that they are looking for.…

The Evangelization in the Catholic Faith is like a Tarantula
Is a Tarantula cute? Maybe you think so maybe you don’t. That phenomenon have been a consistent reflection of mine ever since I started by Catholic journey. The phenomenon that people can react to the same object/stimulus and have different reactions. I love humanity in its diversity! Some people like strawberries because their tart and…

The Beauty of Uniforms: Four Benefits of a School Uniform
The Catholic School uniform is a well known image. We can go to our local parochial schools and see a sea of uniformed children filing in and out of school. I was a middle school teacher at a middle school and we had daily battles about whether or not the uniform was worth enforcing. Perhaps,…

What is the worth of one hour of a human’s life?
The minimum wage is a controversial topic. One side says raising wages will harm businesses. The other side says an economy can’t function without a livable wage for all people. The issue is ultimately an economic issue. Good old fashion supply and demand. However, it is also a metaphysical issue, because it deals with the…

Money is the Root of All Evil … that’s Inconvenient.
Unfortunately, there is a bible passage that cannot be ignored. That is “Money is the root of all evil.” It is a common phrase when talking about money and spirituality. The result is an understanding that material possessions are more often than not a barrier to holiness. If the only virtuous and holy thing to…

I was Born a Heathen … then I was Baptized
My apologies for the misleading title. Both my mother and father were Catholics when I was born. But I wanted to comment on the uniqueness of Baptism. The Catholic Religion is not just a belief system to which we give our assent. We believe that there are ontological changes involved with our rituals. Both the…
