“The Reproductive Life of Julia” | Jill Stanek Reply

Culture War • Tags: , , , ,

[See on Scoop.it – BiltrixBoard and www.jillstanek.com]

Must Read! Must Share!!! Jill Stanek utterly dissects the fallacies of Obama’s appeal to women voters, and shows why they should be insulted by this type of proposal.

Starting here… –>

Last week the Obama campaign unveiled a slideshow entitled, “The Life of Julia,” which was intended to show how much Obama, via the American taxpayer, has done and plans to do for women.

An honest feminist would be insulted by “The Life of Julia,” because…

Bearing Fruit for Christ’s Kingdom 1

New Evangelization • Tags: , , ,

Well stated, as always, Fr John!

Also, from Fr John Bartunek:
Straight Talk about Contraception

Catholicism Pure & Simple's avatarCatholicism Pure & Simple

“Others may have their wealth, may drink out of jeweled cups, be clad in silks, enjoy popular applause, find it impossible to exhaust their wealth by dissipating it in pleasures of all kinds, but our delight is to meditate on the Law of the Lord day and night…”  – St. Jerome

By Father Bartunek
From Catholic Spiritual Direction

John 15:1-8: ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more. You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you. Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the…

You can’t make this stuff up.

Imagine living in fear and uncertainty under the imminent threat that this could happen to you:

Whirled Peas – no pun intended

According to a recent scientific study, peas, that’s right, peas, live in communities, communicate with each other, have memories, and feel stress; therefore, we need to open the discussion concerning the ethical treatment of vegetables. More…

The Poached Egg Apologetics Daily Reply

New Evangelization • Tags: , , ,

New Catholic Apologetics Webpage:

I checked it out. Looks pretty Catholic to me: e.g., features article on 10 biblical reasons for Papal Infallibility, and even an article shared from BiltrixBoard, so it must be good! You’ll find many good apologetics resources here:

The Poached Egg Christian Worldview and Apologetics Network is a website founded and edited by Greg West, a passionate defender of Christianity committed to the cause of Christian apologetics, evangelism, and equipping others to always be ready to…

On Biltrices and Buffalos: No Bull about it, this really happened

Okay… this is not the type of thing we ordinarily see on Biltrix. Then again, what is a biltrix? Not the type of thing we see, hear, or read about every day. Sorry guys! I couldn’t resist sharing this one… (I have a soft spot in my heart for animals, particularly, canines and bovines, if you haven’t noticed…)

Here’s an except. The full article details Homeland Security’s investigation of the case and a $5,000 reward More…

Beyond Expectation: Becoming Like God Thanks To The Resurrection 2

The Theologian (Fr Jose LaBoy) • Tags: , , , ,

Fr Jose LaBoy

In the episode of the encounter of Christ with the disciples on their way to Emmaus we find a very enlightening lesson regarding the saving power of the Resurrection. Christ appears to them because they have lost hope in his message, since the events have destroyed, according to them, their expectations. That is why after giving an account of the death of Jesus, his “unfulfilled promises,” they say: “But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel.” (Lk 24:21) More…

Richard vs Richard: The Dawkins–Rorty Debate Reply

Imagine a debate between Richard Dawkins and Richard Rorty. What would it be like?

Richard Rorty, American Pragmatist

Unfortunately, we will never know for sure, since our friend Rorty went on to receive his eternal reward in the spring of 2008 — he did not believe in that eternal reward, but we should hope that he attained it anyway.

Rorty’s pragmatism, in brief, is a sort of thoroughgoing practical relativism. The core tenet of pragmatism is often described as “Whatever works.” More…

Biking for Babies vs. Bowling for Abortion Reply

Culture War • Tags: , ,

No joke. The National Network of Abortion Funds (NNAF) has already raised $400,000 from its third annual “Abortion Bowl-aThon” to help fund what it calls “reproductive justice” (ironic that they would call it that). They hope to raise another $40,000 for abortions in Washington, DC, from their “Abortion miniature golf-a-thon.”

In stark contrast, the fourth annual “Biking for Babies” hopes to raise $40,000 for 8 pro-life organizations in the midwest: More…
