Thanks buddy!!! Its nice to see some of the older guys still hanging around .....

Absolutely!!! Some of my friends call me Deacon Dan ....

Hey everybody. I don't post much at all, really I never post anymore. I no longer have the type of job where I can spend lots of time here. I now teach Catholicism at an all-girls school in New Orleans which is fabulous. I love my job and my students bring me great joy. I am blessed. I do...

These threads always seem to devolve into "whataboutisms" I don't know why right can't be right and wrong can't be wrong, whichever side is doing it.  Violence or even something that seems to suggest violence is something that should be universally condemned. I stand against what happened on...

I figured as much....but I was just explaining where the opposition to capital punishment and abortion come from among Christians.  It has to do with the dignity of the human person who was created in the likeness and image of God....

If Christianity is a bizarre value set, then you are quite right. But he absolutely states it correctly within the confines of Christianity.  The innocent unborn baby is equal in God's eyes to the mass murderer.  Both are God's children   

I didn't say he was doing a great job.  I said I didn't see anything so disastrous that he would AUTOMATICALLY lose.  People really care about their pocketbook, so inflation is a big deal.  People aren't going to vote somebody out based on Afghanistan or illegal immigration.  

This is good posting.  Trump isn't trouncing anybody in a general.  He won't win the popular vote, which means it's gonna have to be the inside straight in the electoral college.  It's possible, but it's not going to be a "trouncing"

Still a LOOOONNNNGGGG way to go.  Biden isn't even half way through his term.  Assuming that he's gonna lose the next election, if he runs, is 50/50 at best. Inflation will likely improve in the next year.  Other than inflation, I'm having a hard time finding something so horribly bad that...

Perfectly stated.  In other words, it's complicated.  Part of the problem with this hyper partisanship we have right now is people are providing answers in 120 characters or less to extremely complicated things and act like they don't know that it's extremely complicated....

I can only answer with what my faith teaches.  War is permissible for defensive purposes.  One should care about indiscriminate killing.  Biological, chemical and nuclear weapons kills indiscriminately.  Conventional weapons can target military targets while trying to avoid civilian targets...

We are not told to judge.  We judge whether or not someone committed a crime, but we don't judge people's humanity

It might just be a Trump phenomenon.  Usually, I can stomach whatever flaws I think the Republican candidate has, but it's more like Trump has revealed the ugly underbelly and right now, I'm not sure what the Trump voters even stand for, other than hating everybody not like them and conspiracy...

I threw my vote away the last time and voted for a pro life Christian candidate because turd sandwich vs giant ##### wasn't appealing
