Bishop’s Blog / Morally Coherent Catholic Citizenship

“The social doctrine of the Church is not an intrusion into the government of individual countries. It is a question of the lay Catholic’s duty to be morally coherent, found within one’s conscience, which is one and indivisible. There cannot be two parallel lives in their existence: on the one hand, the so-called ‘spiritual life’, with its values and demands; and on the other, the so-called ‘secular’ life, that is, life in a family, at work, in social responsibilities, in the responsibilities of public life and in culture. The branch, engrafted to the vine, which is Christ, bears its fruit in every sphere of existence and activity.”
We need to fully participate in the election process, as Catholic citizens, in a manner which is morally coherent.

I don’t say this to discourage Catholics. On the contrary. How many of these pseudo-messiahs like Andy Warhol and can we endorse before we lose heart completely? How much ground can we cede to the rising tide of liquid modernity before we take to the lifeboats? — ABYSSUS ABYSSUM INVOCAT / DEEP CALLS TO DEEP

Catholics, does this offend you? By Leila Miller Catholic Author

“Folks, despite “Catholic feminist” protestations to the contrary, our Catholic Faith is based on Patriarchs (of whom God the Father is the greatest), which is the natural order created by and through love — a love that created families (and the Church herself!) with fathers as the protective head.

If you are Catholic and you find the above images, litany, and Scripture insulting, demeaning, or offensive—or if you even just want to politely assert that they are simply wrong and old-fashioned—then you need to clear your mind and think again. Consider that your formation may be coming more from the secular culture (“the world”) than from Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.”

Controversies: “High Level Catholic Apologetics” By Karl Keating

“I have on my shelf a book edited by Karl Keating, “Controversies: High Level Catholic Apologetics.” I’m reminded of this one passage of the book: It’s from an October 1931 letter from Fr. Ronald Knox (a convert) to non-Catholic Arnold Lunn (who himself would eventually convert):

“It is a matter of temperament, I suppose; but to me there is far more temptation not to believe in God than not to believe in the Church. For, as St. Thomas admitted, you have the whole fact of evil in Creation apparently against you, when you assert that God exists; and it is only because the proofs you have used are ungetawayablefrom (a pity there is no more technical word for this idea) that you resist the contrary suggestion. Whereas the arguments against the Church always seem to me scraped together; they are like the thousand and one holes which a disgruntled man will find to pick in the character of a man or institution he has quarreled with.”

Later on in the same letter, Fr. Knox also writes:

“Oh, we are a convenience to the other Christianities; a lightning conductor to draw the world’s criticism away from them; a repository whose furniture they can reproduce without the wormholes; a standard of theological currency, against which they can balance their rate of exchange. But, in the nature of things, we cannot accept the second-best positions you try to thrust upon us. Our whole witness is stultified if we are not to be the absolute thing we claim to be.”
