Did the Catholic Church excommunicate Nancy Pelosi?
“Many faithful Catholics are troubled when high-profile political figures with unconcealed antilife, anti-family positions are honored in such ways as receiving invitations to speak at Catholic university commencement ceremonies and given honorary degrees or memorialized at public Catholic funeral Masses without having renounced their immoral positions. Faithful Catholics, at the same time, are taught they have committed a serious sin if they vote for these same candidates. How are those who are seriously trying to live out their faith to reconcile this apparent contradiction?”
Read MoreLiberals acknowledge the Pope's moral authority
The mainstream media breathlessly reported the Pope’s pronouncement on moral matters.
They took his words last week and turned them upside down in an attempt to make them mesh with their own liberal world view. Their headlines were sensational and misleading. Their reporting essentially acknowledged the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Pope, Pope Francis.
Why else spend so much time on the Pope’s words? Because the Pope is THE moral authority of the world.
Their gleeful (mis) reporting of his interview with American Magazine has come back to bite them …
The salvation of man
“You Catholics never talk about salvation.”
Those were the words from a buddy of mine. Dave was an evangelical Christian. He died earlier this year. I think about his comments often, because they represent the typical misunderstanding many Protestants have about Catholicism …
The bread of angels
God IS love. This is how the Catholic Church views God. I think many of our Protestant brothers and sisters have the same view. In other words, love isn’t just a character trait of God, he’s not just a “loving” entity, rather he is the embodiment of love. God IS love …
Read MoreWeapons of mass intolerance
Catholics oppose abortion, artificial birth control, so-called gay marriage, and pre-marital sex of any kind. So do evangelical Christians (except for the birth control issue). So do Muslims. Interestingly, the left is intolerant of Catholics and evangelical Christians, and quite tolerant of Islam.
Read MoreDid Pope Francis really say atheism is a path to salvation?
“Lots of people are criticizing Pope Francis’ teaching earlier this week, as if he’s deviating from the Church’s teaching on the need to proclaim the good news. Contrary to what you may read in the media, please notice, nowhere does he even suggest – much less teach – that avowed atheists are saved. Instead, what he actually says is so obviously true and open to a perfectly fair and benign reading … “
Read MoreSubversive Catholics
Catholics are bad guys. Their Christ-centric ideology puts them at odds with the power of the State. The U.S. Army actually listed us and our evangelical Christian brothers and sisters as religious extremists. Our Commander-in-Chief’s Army actually lumps us into the same category as the Muslim Brotherhood, the Ku Klux Klan, and other groups listed above that truly are extremist. In fairness, Catholics ARE supposed to be counter-cultural. The Commander-in-Chief’s military knows that. Catholics are called to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to give to God what is God’s. So what belongs to God?

I was sitting on my patio one summer night sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying the company of some good friends when the conversation took a mysterious turn …

The pace quickens. Quiner’s Diner is picking up new readers every day. Thanks to everyone of you who stops in each day for a “heapin’ plate of conservative politics and religion.” Many of you don’t agree with me. That’s why I write.

The Catholic Mass exceeds my feeble understanding. Christ is there. All the angels. All the saints. The New Jerusalem joins earth in singing praise to God Almighty.
