The Anti-Modernist

I often hear people in the Church speak about evangelization, and the word is reiterated and reiterated, but I still have yet to see a movement or effort that truly seeks to bring in or reach out to non-believers, or those of other faiths. Last night, I sat through a catechetical talk and again the topic of evangelization was mentioned and reaching out to those who don’t believe, but I am more often times disappointed that greater efforts are not carried out to educate the laity to carry out such a mission; in fact, it will often be found that laity haven’t been properly instructed themselves, so how is it possible then that they can transmit the faith. I am a firm believer that faith and reason go together, but I cannot help but feel that laity are not often given the tools to put the two together and bring them out to the world.

How Western agencies are using billions to foist their population agenda on Flipinos | LifeSiteNews.com June 6, 2011 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Many Catholics around the world have become aware of the goings-on in the Philippines, perhaps the most Catholic and pro-life country in the world.

The vast majority of Filipinos oppose the bill, as proven by the many huge...

-This was not written as a religious piece, but for a pregnancy crisis center and for that reason it is much more secular than my normal writing.- If you love me, you’ll have sex with me… If you won’t have sex with me, I’ll find someone who will… Everybody has sex… We had sex before. What’s the problem? I want to marry you; you know were going to get married? Do any of these sound familiar? These are among the multitude of things that boyfriends can say to try to push their girlfriend to have sex. But, if you look at the root of each statement, it is not loving or caring; rather, it is a selfish desire to have intercourse, regardless of your feelings on the issue. As a woman, you have a right to be treasured and valued and not to be pressured into having sex. It should be considered that sexual intercourse is not merely an action; rather, it involves a person to enter your body. If you really think about it, do you let anyone stick their finger in your mouth? No, of c...
