Yesterday (June 16, 2019) was both Trinity Sunday and Father’s Day! There are a number of ways that the revealed truth of the Trinity, Three Persons in One, has been shown. I’ve my own favorite and here it is. This proof comes in two parts. Part I: “Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.” [John 14:10] and Part II: “When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” [John 20:22] (Quotes from Douay-Rheims Bible). Putting these two together clearly shows The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are One Being having Three Persons.

There is much controversy regarding The Shroud of Turin. Is it an impression, even “photograph” of Jesus? Or is it of someone else? Whoever’s image it represents, it’s still on something material. And that material is subject to loss; witness the damage done by a fire that caused holes to be burnt in the cloth. Thus, it appears NOT to be indestructible. But does any of this matter? Assume it is an image of Jesus. Assume, as some think, it is even the moment of the beginning of His Resurrection. Will this convert anyone? Will not those who don’t believe dismiss it, find reasons why it can’t be? It’s highly improbable they would consider it an opportunity to believe. Will not those who think Jesus was a great prophet or great historical figure or great anything but God change their minds? Will not simply only the faithful be inspired, even awed? No, it doesn’t matter because what matters is the event of the Resurrection. That is the important thing and it IS indestructible!

Pray for leadership of the Democratic Party for they are being led by the Father of Lies and are misleading many.

Hollywood can hardly be called a sanctuary for honesty but it is a definite sanctuary for hypocrisy. Actually, it’s not just Hollywood but the entire film making industry that represents the quintessential embodiment of hypocrisy. Check out any discussion, history of, talk about, etc. re film making and you will find two recurring ideas: 1) YOU, filmmaker, can be an agent of change. 2) In order to be an agent of change, you must challenge “existing norms”. And therein lies the problem.

Turns out “existing norms” is a euphemism for certain existing moral norms. This, of itself, is not necessarily bad thing. However, when combined with the selectivity exercised by the film industry in what “existing norms” should be challenged, it is not only a bad thing but quintessentially hypocritical. A simple but glaring example: Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary 2016: Obama’s America received virtually no support while Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story was well promoted. (The good news is despite this, the public voted with their dollars on both these movies. The bad news is that the film making industry doesn’t care.) A single example obviously doesn’t convey the pervasiveness of the liberal bias but you already know that. The point is, film schools follow this dictum and so virtually every budding filmmaker out there is going to “change the world” according to liberal dictums. Any other change is, well, a non event. The film making industry doesn’t REALLY want counter-cultural movies unless they are the “right”, er, left counter culture.

…to consider yourself a rational person and vote Democratic. Prime example: Andrew Cuomo recently signed into “law” the “right” to kill babies moments before birth. No rational person can argue that there is only a “clump of cells” or whatever other characterization/rationalization that allows a non-baby moments before birth but a real baby because of birth. This single event is so momentous that even should the Democratic Party be “perfect” in all other respects, no rational person can vote for a party that advocates murder.

In The Problem of Pain, C.S. Lewis spoke to those who argue against the doctrine of hell:

In the long run the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell is itself a question:

“What are you asking God to do?”

1. To wipe out your past sins, and at all costs, to give you a fresh start, offering every miraculous help? “He has done so, on Calvary.”
2. Do you want Him to forgive you? “He has offered forgiveness in Christ.”
3. Do you want Him to leave you alone? “Alas,” wrote Lewis, “I am afraid that is what He does.”

…to be an authentic Christian, and even less so to be an authentic Catholic, and vote Democratic. This party’s policies are against God in every area starting, of course, with the murdering of babies. But it doesn’t stop there. The second biggest problem is their burning desire to remove all God-given liberties from you. The third biggest problem is a refusal to recognize that, as politicians, leaders, etc. they are in that position due to God’s will. Used to be one would hear about how such people should model their behavior accordingly but no more; after all, they ARE God. This post could go on and on exposing the anti-God views of the Democratic Party. It’s up to you to add to this in the comments.
