The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism


I just picked up this book and while I have a couple of other books that I’m ready reading, I intend to squeeze this one in.




He had a quick wit about him and a full servant of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. In the interview he pointed out various concerns with the leadership of the Church presently, the same concerns that I and many of us as lay Catholics have.

As I always do when I find someone I find interesting or a book that catches my eye, is I go on a bit of an investigation, finding out as much as I can about that person or author, or subject matter before I purchase a book they’ve written or pursue any other articles or video’s they appear in or write.

John writes articles on The Stream , a Catholic news blog as well as The National Catholic Register (here are a few of his articles there)

The National Catholic Reporter also has an article about him and they didn’t like him too much, which is one in the PLUS + column for John as far as I’m concerned.

So, I looked up a number of his books at Barnes and Noble, because they’re my local bookstore whom I like to support. Amazon has him as well.

I liked the titles in the book’s table of contents.
·      The Church and what it says about itself and the world, and what will happen to you when you die.
·      The Pope, the Bishops and When and why Catholics have to believe What they say – And When and Why we Don’t.
·      How Birth Control Tore the Church apart.
…just to name a few.

Here’s an article from National Catholic Register that takes a more thorough look at the author and this particular book. I agree with their take and I look forward to reading John’s book.

Hope you’ll take a look as well.

IS MARIJUANA REALLY SAFE?

Is marijuana really safe...all the talking heads on TV, celebrities, journalist, reporters and more and more politicians say so. 

Do we really trust them? do we really think they  have any  legitimate knowledge or show any legit studies on the subject matter?

"I've used it for years and it hasn't affected me!" .......give me break 


I'm reading  this new book now. So much  not being  told about the effects of marijuana... 

Here's a short clip of  the author.

So Cal Catholic Church Vandelized

Visited briefly, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church yesterday after this was pointed out to me at yesterday. Statue of Mary and another of a Saint was decapitated.   ...terrible. 

All done  in the dead of night anonymously.  If you want to make a statement, hey tell us how you are and take full credit. Coward!
