Philosophically Mr. Peterson comes from materialism, he doesn't believe in God----so when he does think about God (the non-local hidden Person Who made everything) what does he think of? He thinks of ethics; morals. It's because being a materialist he 'gravitates' to the 'salient' things about...

Are you even 'allowed' to tell people to not do something because it's evil? And if so, with what justification? It's not because you're in danger of 'burning', it's only because it's a human rights violation, and not profitable to be evil, but not because you're going to hell if you invade...

This is my impression of Catholicism. Eschatologically Catholicism might be Dispensationalism, but not Acts 2, 9 or 28, but more like "Acts 70", as in AD 70, General Titus and the destruction of, not only 'just' the Temple, but the whole liturgy of Levitical Judaism, which is the obvious...

A clumsy attempt to quantify Quarterback Tom Brady's domination in the history of American football is no longer needed in the wake of tonight's drubbing of the now Brady-less New England Patriots at the hands of the Buffalo Bills. Brady's record against the Buffalo Bills is 33 wins out of 36...

https://reasons.org/explore/blogs/reflections/an-intellectual-code-of-conduct-part-1 Excerpt " When facing a challenging or rude opponent in an argument (whether in person or on the web), it’s all too easy to let anger, pride, and bad logic rule our conversation. But intellectual sloth...

Finito doneski DOA, in February 2016, over five years ago. It was an impromptu battle royale debate, many participants (many of whom have ceased participating on TOL, which I don't think is coincidental), during which a group of Catholic users and an Orthodox user and a...

The New England Patriots won six Super Bowls. Tom Brady won the Super Bowl the first season he played without Coach Belichick. Tom Brady is the dynasty, not the Patriots, and not Belichick either. When he won it last year he took all six of NE's Lombardi's trophies with him, those are all his...

(1) The Church flees perversion, she doesn't just avoid perversion, she runs away from it. (2) ΠΟΡΝography MUST Be Recriminalized.

Answer: Yes Indoor dining in a restaurant definitely has more risk https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/28/health/vaccine-safe-activities-dr-wen-wellness/index.html Other interesting excerpts: (Also you might be fatally allergic to the raincoat. Although I'm not anti-vax or a denier, the odds are...

They're not. The opioid crisis is the fault of law enforcement shutting down the "pill mill" doctors who liberally prescribed Purdue Pharma's products. These MDs moved so much OxyContin that whenever a single one of them was put out of business, there was a sudden enormous demand for opioids...

'WAR' stands for "Wins Above Replacement", and it is a baseball term, not football. The basic idea is, over the course of a season, WAR attempts to measure how many additional wins a player contributes to his team, over a 'replacement' player. Apologies for the crossover from baseball to...

Remember when he tried to 'buy' Greenland? The man simply took what all the scientists were telling him, and then hedged his bets, it's as if he thinks, 'You know what real estate that is currently not valuable, will become valuable if climate change /global warming is real? Greenland.' It...

Hypothetically, if you were to come to Mass, here is what you will see and an explanation. First of all remember that Catholics are all priests, and we are coming to Mass to celebrate our liturgy together. Liturgy is work; priestly work, and while we are all priests equally (Galations 3:28)...

I'm surprised to find this kind of fair and balanced reporting coming out of CNN. Especially since usually they're like many other news media; they love Europe; Europe walks on water; Europe's skubalon doesn't stink. https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2021/07/us/american-south-biomass-energy-invs/

Why would God simply 'walk away from' the then 1500-year-old institution of the office of a bishop (cf. 1 Tim 3:1)? 1500 years straight without a hiccup (on the fixed institution, not to say there weren't many disputes along the way), but then God suddenly abandons this institution, established...

Title says it all. When I Google "catholic" I get 480m hits.

For me as a Catholic, this is my thought on the paedophilia The Catholic priesthood used to be a good place for a pedophile violent criminal absolutely immoral man to hide out, and avoid justice. If there were criminal naïveté, then the other priests were guilty of that, but criminal naivete...

Why isn't this President Biden's version of President Trump's "They let you grab them" remark? It reveals a fundamentally racist worldview. This level of hypocrisy is why we are so divided as a nation. This is all just party politics, we have our political views, and we vote for the candidate...

Is there an authoritative definition of these two terms? My lay investigation says no. There are different views of what these two concepts are and of how these two concepts interact, though every one of them does explain ethics in contrast with morals in some way. One way is that ethics is...
