But is Covid-19 an unknown per your example? To me, the coronavirus exists exists as a scientific fact and functions as other biological entities of that type function. If it is a fact, how can it threaten faith? Are you rather speaking about existential anxiety or dread? That is a form of...

I think that Pope Francis statements must be read in light of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Sections 1790-1794: Catechism of the Catholic Church - IntraText 1790 A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience. If he were deliberately to act against it, he would...

Why is it, historyb, if I understand it correctly, that such folks as Taylor Marshall, Archbishop Vigano, Timothy Gordon, the websites Church Militant and The Remnant are calling the Pope a heretic and an anti-pope because of this matter and that the chair of St. Peter is now vacant? Didn't the...

Is this view of same sex unions a private opinion of the Pope? How official is this pronouncement? If those Catholics who disagree with the Pope's statement, calling him a heretic and saying he should not be believed or followed in this, doesn't this make these dissenters in effect...

It's a grim business, Giuliano, when medical care has to be rationed, or more specifically, triaged in a disastrous medical situation. It reminds me of my service days when I was training to be an Air Force medic. In a disaster situation, sometimes it is the case that the medical staff must...

I would agree with JohnDB: Beauty may only be skin deep but ugly goes to the bone... Though I've loved some very beautiful women over the years, I have found the most interesting women are the intellectual, sometimes awkward women who are independent and spiritual in their walk with the Lord...

Speaking as an American outsider, from one who is acquainted with congressional governance instead of parliamentary governance, isn't it the advantage of parliamentary systems that if protests against it are strong enough, that it would lead to a vote of no confidence which can force the Prime...

You may have a point, Backlit, in some particulars. But the people who disagree with you are saying that you're not seeing the picture. Here's a picture of a policeman murdering a suspect who has already been handcuffed. That picture is a commentary on police methods in America and points...

It would seem that the exploration of space and the possibility of extraterrestrial life is contingent upon whether or not faster than light space travel has been achieved. According to many scientists, it would appear that theoretical physics seems to hint to the possibility of that. See the...

I agree, Giuliano. And the problem with this is that too many people see through this deception. I think also that it is not only the racism and the voter suppression. People are simply tired of Trump and all his bombastic antics. They want a normal man in the White House who can speak the...

Texas and to a certain extent Arizona, Georgia and Florida portend the future for the Republican Party. Being politically and socially inclusive is the death of Trumpism.

I agree, quietthinker. That is why I will never vote for Trump. I reject the Trump prophecies and that he is, in any way, a christ anointed by God. For me, only Jesus, the Son of God, is the Christ, and the one to whom we have our hope and our salvation. He is non-denominational in the...

Logically considered, the answer is yes. This, of course, is if the moral action of abortion is to be considered with the focus entirely upon the aborted fetus and not the persons surrounding it. This was, politically, the problem with the pro-life movement. How do you focus upon the malice...

GISMYS_7's assertion was that God chose Trump to save the USA from destruction. Is this really the case? The next sixty days may tell whether or not this assertion is true. I reject the Trump prophecies. I do not accept Donald Trump as being anointed by God. For me, Jesus, the Son of God...

Depending on the state, the shoe may be on the other foot, Ziggy. I agree. But I think that wouldn't be the case nationally.

I agree, JohnDB. We shall see ...

Yes, Giuliano. In answer to your question, I do not believe that God sends babies into hell. I agree. That is a logical consequence if we accept the belief that God does not condemn infants to an eternity in hell. If one appeals to predestination, one can escape that logical dilemma. The...

I didn't know, JohnDB, that Biden was so close in Texas. I knew that Texas was politically changing. I suppose, in four or eight years, it will be another Democratic state.

Before praying for the country, there is the pressing need to pray those necessary preparatory prayers for ourselves and for others. Barack Obama's Prayer At The Western Wall In Jerusalem The text of Obama's prayer is as follows: "Lord — Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help...

Trump has done one very good thing. He's stirred up emotions so deeply that he's got many people voting. The mass of people voting may be so large that Republicans have legitimate reasons to be afraid. Republicans, whose policies favor the rich, generally do poorly politically when more...
