My simple belief system             

  1. There is ample evidence from the fascinating world around us that God exists.
  2. There is ample evidence that Jesus really existed, that he died, was buried, and yet rose again. He is not merely a legend.
  3. Jesus claimed to be both God and Messiah. Either He is truly the Lord God, or a liar, or a lunatic.
  4. His mighty deeds, especially His resurrection, testify to the Truth of what He said and that He is God.
  5. The Bible was faithfully and accurately handed down to us over the centuries. We have thousands of biblical manuscripts scattered all over the world that are remarkably consistent.
  6. The Bible contains numerous prophesies in the Old Testament that were fulfilled in the New Testament, especially in the person of Jesus. This is strong evidence that the Bible was indeed inspired by the Holy Spirit and is therefore an important guide for our lives.
  7. Jesus established the Catholic Church and promised His Holy Spirit would guide it to all Truth (Jn 14:26). I have confidence in this because I believe Jesus is God.
  8. The Catholic Church, under the guidance of His Holy Spirit, is the guardian of sacred Tradition (1 Tim 3:15), both oral and written (2 Thess 2:15). This Church determined what books were inspired and would comprise the Bible.
  9. The Bible is not always simple to interpret, but that’s why Jesus established the Catholic Church to guide us.
  10. I defer to the consistent teaching of the Catholic Church over time in matters of faith and morals because I trust the Holy Spirit’s guidance of the Church more than my own flawed judgements.

Hell

  1. Does the Bible Say Whether There are People in Hell? – St. Paul Center (stpaulcenter.com) – 6/28/24
  2. What is hell like? Check out these visions received by Catholic saints | Catholic News Agency – 1/27/24
  3. What Is the Occupancy of Hell? – National Catholic Register (ncregister.com) – 1/16/24 – Ralph Martin (President of Renewal Ministries and the Director of Graduate Theology Programs in the New Evangelization at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in the Archdiocese of Detroit)
    • Dogma: a declaration of the Church concerning a truth revealed by God that is necessary for our salvation.
    • Heresy Universalism: most everyone will eventually end up in heaven.
    • Basing itself on sacred Scripture and sacred Tradition, the Catechism clearly teaches that anyone who dies unrepentant in mortal sin will go directly to hell (CCC 1033).
    • The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, ‘eternal fire.’ (CCC1035)
    • No one should be deemed ignorant of the natural law, that is, the common human perception that unjust killing, stealing, lying, cheating and committing adultery is wrong. All human beings have an obligation to seek the truth about God and can’t comfortably rest in their supposed ignorance (CCC 1791)
    • “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell” (Matthew 5:27-30).
    • Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few” (CCC 1036; see also 1734, 1428).
    • Ralph Martin: The reality is that hell exists, and the unmistakable thrust of Scripture and the traditional interpretation of such Scriptures by the Church’s greatest theologians is that it is very likely that many people go there.
    • Cardinal Avery Dulles, perhaps the leading American theologian of the 20th century, asserted in a 2003 essay for First Things that up until the middle of the 20th century, there was no significant challenge to the traditional two outcome views of the Catholic Church — and that the prevailing theological consensus interpretation of sacred Scripture was that more were lost than were saved.
    • In parable after parable, God revealed to us that there will be a final separation of the human race at the end of time. The weeds will be thrown into the fire and burned; the wheat brought into the barn (Matthew 13:36-43). The wise virgins will enter the wedding feast, while the foolish virgins won’t (25:1-13); the good fish will be kept and the bad thrown away (13:47-50); the sons of the devil will be excluded from the Kingdom, as the sons of God will enter (1 John 3:10); those who were sympathetic to Jesus and even ate and drank with him but who didn’t believe in him or obey him will be excluded from the Kingdom (Luke 13: 22-30); those who believed and obeyed will enter. Also John 3:36b: He who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him.
    • And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life’” (CCC 1038; Mt 25:46).
    • If we hold the belief that hell is mostly empty, there is a natural tendency for humanity to pay more attention to “improving the world” than to focus on the bold proclamation that the name of Jesus is the only name that can save anyone (Acts 4:12). Or that people need to “save themselves from this wicked generation” (Acts 2:40), through repentance, faith and baptism. Or that in order to escape the wrath that is coming (1 Thessalonians 1:10), they need to join themselves to Jesus and the Church and obey his commands.

  6. Blog – Women of Grace – womenofgrace.com – Catholic Therapist quits Mindfulness – 1/11/2018
    • As I explain in my book, A Catholic Guide to Mindfulness, the practice of mindfulness is derived from Buddhism and is specific to the seventh step in the Buddha’s Eight-Fold Path to enlightenment. Called Samma Sati, or Right Mindfulness, it means controlling thoughts by maintaining awareness and focus on the present moment. The way one is trained in mindfulness is through a variety of Buddhist meditation techniques such as Breathing Space Meditation, Movement Meditation, Body Scan Meditation, and Expanding Awareness Meditation, all of which involve intense focus on the self in the present moment.
    • 2009 study that found a long list of psychological and physical side effects of mindfulness meditation such as depersonalization, psychosis, feelings of anxiety, disorganized speech and insomnia, to name a few.
    • With mindfulness-based interventions, the aim is not to change your thoughts, but your global beliefs about thoughts – essentially, you’re expected to stop believing that your thoughts are necessarily true or important. This is where the Buddhist philosophy really kicks in: your thoughts are mere ‘mental events’ – just thoughts, nothing more – and they don’t necessarily warrant any action. All you’re aiming to do is be aware.” The Christian, on the other hand, is taught not to dismiss their thoughts as mere “mental events” but to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). In this way they “put on the mind of Christ” (1 Cor 2:16) and make their thoughts holy and Christ-like.

Catholics, meanwhile, are the American Christians most in favorof redefining marriage.

    • He shines a light on the complicity of bishops in covering up abuses and misconduct – particularly with Cardinal McCarrick, who was publicly denounced by now-excommunicated whistle-blower Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò – when they knew about and overlooked McCarrick’s crimes for a long time.
    • He praises the late Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) for his efforts to address these issues, despite facing resistance from various quarters.

  12. Archbishop Viganò: Bergoglio’s ‘blessings’ for homosexual couples show he is a ‘servant of Satan’ – Lifesitenews.com – 12/21/23
  13. Blessing Same-Sex Couples: a CA Roundtable | Catholic Answers Magazine – 12/21/23 – Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF)
    1. Trent Horn – Given the practical difficulty involved in the wide variety of ministers giving and individuals seeking these “spontaneous blessings,” I would not have released the document—or at I least I would have included the reminder from the 2021 DDF ruling, still in force, that God “does not and cannot bless sin.”
    2. Karlo Broussard – the DDF is safe doctrinally but has failed (gravely?) in exercising pastoral prudence. The damage has been done. Confusion is setting in. Let’s implore God that he will bring order out of disorder and peace out of chaos.
    3. Cy Kellett – At every talk I give, I meet people who are at their wits‘ end with Francis and people who are at their wits‘ end with those who oppose Francis. Everybody seems on edge. This isn’t helping… Fiducia Supplicans, in my view, is basically correct in its approach to blessings—if what it’s saying is that Pope Francis wants people to receive the blessings of the Church without priests actually blessing sinful unions.
    4. Todd Aglialoro – Fiducia Supplicans suggests that it is not their false claim to legitimate conjugal union or the sinful sexual acts that accompany it, but rather “all that is true, good, and humanly valid in their lives and their relationships”. This strikes me as, at best, an unrealistic view.  I fear that the result of this document will be to present confusion and scandal to the world… to dishearten and impede the efforts of faithful clerical and lay ministers currently resisting the tide of sexual libertinism…
    5. Joe Heschmeyer – So what has the DDF now added to the conversation? The idea that in certain contexts, a priest might give an informal blessing to a “same-sex couple.” It’s not true, therefore (as some have said), that the DDF is okaying the blessing of same-sex “unions.” But it’s also not true (as others have claimed) that this is nothing new, since it’s just about blessing same-sex-attracted individuals. It’s not about individuals or unions, but a third thing, seemingly in between the two: a “couple.”
    6. Tom Nash – nowhere does FS acknowledge and affirm chaste living, as do faithful apostolates that minister to persons with same-sex attraction. Consequently, whatever good intention he may have, a cleric who attempts to bless the relationship of a same-sex couple will do them a grave disservice.
    7. Christopher Check – within hours of the Dicastery’s publication of Fiducia Supplicans, media all over the globe reported that the Catholic Church had reversed its teaching of 2021 that homosexual couples and “irregular” heterosexual couples cannot be blessed. The Catechism tells us that “scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. why would Rome cause scandal? Did the DDF not know what consequences FS would produce? One telltale sign: the word repent is noticeably absent from the document.

  19. Kirby – I Will Not Be Blessing Couples in Irregular Unions (complicitclergy.com) – 12/31/23. These ‘pastoral’ blessings do not require repentance and the desire to change like all other church blessings. These same-sex couples are in a state of sin. Conditions: no vestments, no formal prayers, not in civil union ceremony, must be spontaneous, not part of sacred liturgy. God & the Church cannot bless states of sin.

  27. Golden Opportunities Missed – The Catholic Thing – 1/5/24 – David Carlin
    1. The first thing we have to note is that most Americans who have heard of FS – whether Catholics or Protestants or non-Christians, and whether they be pro-SR or anti-SR – perceive FS as a significant victory for the LGBTQ+ movement, a movement which, as I see it, has as one of its aims to undermine and destroy the Christian ideal of sexual morality, hence Christianity itself.
    2. Most people see FS as the Catholic Church giving ground to the LGBTQ+ gang.  They see FS as a sign that Catholicism, like liberal Protestantism, will eventually remove homosexual practice from its list of serious sins.  Defenders of FS can tell people, all they want, that they are mistaken to see things that way; all the same, that’s how they see it.
    3. Second, the American Catholic bishops are once again offered a golden opportunity to put themselves at the head of the SR counter-revolution.  But to do this, they will have to do something that is almost a psychological impossibility for a Catholic bishop: they will have to make a public declaration of their disagreement with the pope.

Pope Francis, the Vatican, and the Sexual Abuse Scandal in the Catholic Church (15+ articles)

Pope Francis has ignored credible charges made by Abp. Vigano that he was aware of high-level Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops involvement and cover-up of the sexual abuse scandal within the Church. He consistently protects accused priests and bishops while ignoring and even attacking sexual abuse victims. Supporting articles:

Paul Kalchik. “I can live as a victim of clerical sexual predation without a direct response by you as our Holy Father, but what I can no longer endure is the complacency of our bishops, who are charged with fixing the problem but do nothing more than pay it lip service while neglecting to act. Clerical sexual predation must be ended, once and for all.”
