Benedict Speaks at Auschwitz

As I’ve blogged recently, I’ve re-read Elie Wiesel’s “Night,” and I’ve spoken with an aging veteran about the liberation at Buchenwald. Pope Benedict XVI has recently visited Auschwitz and I’ve linked his statements as posted on the Vatican website. I think that any serious consideration of this and other concentration camps, in [...]

A Memorial Day Tribute

I love to speak with my patients about their lives and am always attentive to military veterans of the WW II era. I adore these men (and women.) I had the privilege of meeting several men this week who served in the war against the Nazis. One gentleman was a paratrooper from [...]

The Water is Rising and the Sky is Falling

With the opening of Al Gore’s new movie, “Inconvenient Truths,” many of the liberals, particularly those who practice the religion of ecology and earth science, are all worked up. Consider the reasoned opinions of Dr. Sue Blackmore, and English psychologist. Here is what she writes: I know this. The science has been [...]

“Bush Lied,” Truth Died

We’ve all heard the mantras of the far left concerning the war in Iraq. For the left, memories of 9/11 have faded and they view all the efforts in securing Iraq and moving Iraq and Afghanistan toward democracy to be unworthy ventures. I’m convinced that the left’s hatred of Bush (notice that the [...]

More PC Nonsense in the Public Schools

Here’s anther reason to guard your children from the formation in the public schools. Michelle Malkin has a post concerning the pandering to Muslims in the public schools while continuing to attempt to deny Christians prayer in school. Compare and contrast… In Dallas, a school district strikes the words “In God We Trust” [...]

For Those Waiting for the Church to Condone Condoms…

Here’s a piece from www.chiesa.com regarding the speculation concerning the Church’s position on condom use when one partner is infected with HIV/AIDS. And the answer is in the negative. Not only does the article make no direct reference to condoms, but it demonstrates that the Church’s activity is directed in an entirely different direction, [...]

Commencement addresses

I was listening to the radio this morning and Bill Bennett was discussing various commencement speakers this year. He made reference to a speech given by Ted Koppel to the Stanford class in the middle of the Clinton scandal. I have found the address and linked it here. It is worth [...]

Night

I have just gotten around to reading a new translation of Elie Wiesel’s book, Night. This is a book that everyone should read at least once. In the epilogue, Mr Wiesel’s acceptance speech to the Nobel Committee that awarded him the Peace Prize, is published. It reads in part: And then [...]

Old and New

The modern world lives on its intellectual capital, exploits the prevalent doctrine of the moment in the interest of its heresies; floodlights the universe with a gleam of partial illumination, or darkens the skies with doubt; the Church, who is older and wiser, stores new things and old alike in her treasure-house, and brings [...]
