We can both agree that human dignity is of its nature of more value than most any other created thing, that it is tremendous and immense, and by grace even eternal. But there is an entire difference between eternal and infinite.and it's not something that you can just gloss over because of some ino...

The context given in the St. JP II quote is what I suspected: It is the love of God that confers that dignity. It's not intrinsic to being human. I don't know whose side here that helps or hurts, but context is usually a good thing. What I've always read and studied in regards to human dignity is t...

'Infinite dignity' of the human person can be traced back to the teaching of St JPII. In an Angelus teaching in 1980 he says... Together with all of you, we will immediately praise God and thank him for the great gift of his love. This love is the reason for your hope and your courage to live. In J...

From what I can see in Matthew's Gospel(26:45) Jesus was rather explicit in that He was being "handed over to sinners," and given previous instances where it seemed that He was going to be attacked or stoned but where He escaped in this instance He was allowing Himself to be handed over. W...

This first line from the Introduction of the Document is something that I immediately saw as blatantly heretical and derived from Gnosticism/Hermeticism/Freemasonry. Every human person possesses an infinite dignity , inalienable grounded in his or her very being, which prevails in and beyond every c...

Almost all the atheists that I know(and having been one myself) generally are atheists not out of truly having deeply examined either religion or even atheism and their relevant logical conclusions but rather are merely atheists because it's become "fashionable" and "progressive"...

Pope Francis apparently thinks that the ideology of Marxist socialism, which apparently to him is not an ideology(weird), should work with Christians to fight corruption and work for equality. Which is also weird because Marxist socialism is literally one of the worst ideologies when it comes to bei...

I'm counting on all the teams in SEC to do their part and thrash the Longhorns and keep them from ever winning the conference or bowl championship. I just don't know what to make of the Big 10 as a conference anymore. It's expanding to so many different teams and regions that it's bordering on beco...

However, God apparently is not interested in talking to me and giving me encouragement. So I'm basically on my own. If you're constantly and incessantly proclaiming to God about how you're such a crappy son, how do you expect to hear Him when He tries to give you encouragement? Is it really that Go...

The real question, if I may suggest it, is whether you've unwittingly allowed yourself to come to view Christianity in too natural a light. Here's an interesting article on another facet of this habit of naturalizing (or horizontalizing) the Faith. https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2024/01/07/avo...

Swings and roundabouts. The danger now is the radical traditionalists ie. Credo by Athanasius Schneider and other activists wanting to undermine Vatican II reforms. Every time I see you complain about "the danger of radical traditionalists" I'm reminded immediately of this passage from Sc...

It seems progressivism is a movement that is currently in decline, relegated to the margins, a movement that is trapped in a bubble that is gradually getting smaller and smaller, they interact only with each other with little interaction with the larger Church. But this is anecdotal evidence, which...

I see him sorta in the same vein as Matt Walsh, neither of them are of the sort that I take too seriously and they're not convincing anyone who hasn't already been convinced.

Do you think that it's going to be better or worse when it expands to the 12 team playoff format?

Not so - love of self is prior to love of neighbor. What good does it do to love your neighbor as yourself if you don't love yourself? You could also ask the question of if there is even such a thing as true and authentic love of self while being an atheist? According to my experience I would lean ...
