    Is it possible to know the real truth, when there is so much that You Don’t Know you don’t know.
    How can Truth be known, unless you do know the whole (truth).
    Do we not accept at any moment a temporary TRUTH, which may change as we learn more.
    Is that not a personal “truth”, which may differ from the “truth” of the next person.

    I am not a Christian or a Jew.

    I believe the Original Decision of Roe Vs. Wade was correct.
    American society has long since gone way past Roe vs. Wade, so let me describe Roe versus Wade, as originally stated, without the legalese.

    The decision originally intended, as I believe, made early (first trimester) abortions legal.
    It made first trimester abortions legal because it was considered improper to force a pregnant women to carry a fetus to term. Not because the fetus was not a life, but because the fetus was a non-viable life, and it was considered unreasonable to force the female to carry an unwanted pregnancy.
    (You have to remember the environment in which the decision was taken.
    Back street abortions were occurring with untrained females using coat-hangers, etc.
    Pregnant females died quite often under these circumstances.) It also clearly allowed abortion for situations of rape, etc.

    Under Roe vs. Wade, second trimester abortions were only supposed to occur if the life of the potential mother was in danger without the abortion.

    Under Roe vs. Wade, third trimester abortions were illegal.

    In the half century that has passed since Roe vs Wade, abortion practices have mutated under female liberation extraordinarily such as to be unrecognizable as all being apparently legal now.
    I believe the ORIGINAL Roe vs. Wade decision was a good compromise.
    Especially since not all females believe the Christian faith, AND because religion and government are supposed to be separate.

    I am personally opposed to the CURRENTLY PRACTICED “rules” for abortion.

      Thanks for this clarification. Your comment that all women do not believe in Christianity is certainly thought provoking.

      I was very impressed by what this Priest had to say. He did discuss much more than simply abortion.

      It took a lot of guts for him to have given that Homily. Be interesting to see if there is any feedback from the Church. One of our listeners did bring up the fact that she saw this on Facebook about a week ago. I am very surprised that Facebook did not censor this.

      Any comments?

        I think I have to agree with Father Meeks. Abortion is a form of human sacrifice that is essentially no different than sacrificing children to Moloch and other pagan gods.
        There is no place in the modern world for such abominable paganism and evil.

    I find it most interesting that Americans, as a group, seem to have totally forgotten the structure of American society after the Pilgrim Fathers first arrived in Massachusetts.
    Here a truly religious group (that being the REASON they came to America) fully believed in Christ’s socialist teachings.
    The Pilgrim Fathers, however, found out very quickly that Socialism was a total failure by encouraging laziness, and penalizing the hard-working. The colony would have quickly failed and all members died, but for the altruism of the indigenous population and a change to a free enterprise capitalistic system.

      Oct 24, 2020 24:19 PM

      Thanks again for a great comment.

      Oct 24, 2020 24:45 PM

      Christ’s socialist teachings? Thou shall not kill, steal or covet is the opposite of socialism as is the wisdom of teaching a man to fish rather than giving him fish.

      No, Jesus Wasn’t a Socialist
      Christian charity, being voluntary and heartfelt, is utterly distinct from the compulsory, impersonal mandates of the state…

    With regard to homosexuality and same-sex marriages, I tended to believe that what happens in privacy, providing no one is harmed, and no one under the age of consent is involved, should not be a matter for which the government should get involved.

    I guess my political stance is anarcho-libertarian capitalist, for I am lacking a political party.

      Oct 24, 2020 24:20 PM

      My stance is, “who am I to judge?”

        The real crime for CFS is that he’s not a Christian. According to biblical “truth”, his stance does not bode well for eternity.

        Romans 1:28-32
        King James Version
        28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind,
        29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
        31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection,
        32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

        Hey Matthew, what do you think of using Predictit to bet on this election? If you bet Biden will lose you could make 2.7x your bet minus fees.

          Oct 25, 2020 25:39 PM

          should by 1.7x

            Oct 25, 2020 25:43 PM

            And you could hedge…if you bet the same amount on a Biden win and Trump wins you still would make money.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:59 PM

            I’ve never heard of Predictit so my concern would be its legitimacy and/or its solvency after Trump wins (only half-joking).
            I’ll stick with the comparatively low-risk junior mining stocks that only burn cash, have no income and dilute shareholders relentlessly. πŸ––πŸ˜¬

            Oct 25, 2020 25:04 PM

            If you bet 100 on a Biden loss and he loses you could get your $100 back plus make $170 minus fees. If you bet 100 on a Biden loss while betting 100 on a Biden win and Biden loses you could make $70 minus fees while only losing $44 if Biden wins.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:06 PM

            The only reason I ask is because there are some people i think are pretty sharp and who got it right in 2016 who say Trump is going to win, and they make very good cases why the mainstream media and pollsters have it wrong again.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:14 PM

            Unless the outcome is completely rigged, I don’t see how Biden could win.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:29 PM

            Matthew or anyone, how much would you have to bet on a Biden loss and also bet on a Biden win so that if Biden loses you make money but if Biden wins you don’t lose any money? If anyone wants to try to figure it out go to the url below. If I get a chance I’ll try to figure it out but probably won’t be tonight.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:33 PM

            A Biden No is less than a Trump Yes and a Trump No is less than a Biden Yes so it looks like you’d want to buy Biden No’s and Trump No’s.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:44 PM

            It looks like on a Trump No and a Biden No if Trump wins you could make 21.62 and .72 if Biden wins assuming for every 100 you bet 55 on a Trump No and 45 on a Biden No. But that doesn’t include the fee which is 5% of winnings. Predict charges no fee for loses. At least that’s my understanding.

            Let me know if you think I got anything wrong.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:48 PM

            So if Trump wins that a pretty good ROI with no downside…unless I got something wrong or neither Trump or Biden win which seems nearly impossible.

            Oct 25, 2020 25:52 PM

            Of course if neither won you’d really clean up on that bet.

    In reading the US Constitution do you see any right of the Government specified to control your breathing fresh air, by means of mask or anything else?
    If you don’t, and I don’t, then the following should be considered….

    The Ninth Amendment (Amendment IX) to the United States Constitution addresses rights, retained by the people, that are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. It is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment reads:

    The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

    Seems to me requiring wearing of a mask violates my Constitutional Rights.

    Since both Trump and Biden both support sodomite marriage and abortion then he just endorsed JO20.com !!! Trump funded planned parenthood with more money than Obama. Or could be this guy does not even know this. At least he knows Biden bad. Trumps gay theme song is YMCA proves he is aligned with LGBTQP.

      Who’s BS are you reading Ron? Congress allocates money, not the President – congress gave a budget that Trump had to get thru – the Dems filled the Planned parenthood coffers, and Rinos allowed it, not Trump. He has been the most pro-life President in history. Trump has accepted people’s individual choices, how is that different than Jo Jorgensen? Trump is having is doing this fight with little help against the deep state, needs allies – a vote for Jorgensen is a wasted vote.

    Big Al, I am not a Catholic, but agree that this priest has given a very logical and accurate indictment of the dangers of voting for Biden specifically as well as the current Democrat (not democratic) Party platform. Both stand as a clear and present danger in our society today. He did a good job describing the dangers.

    Oct 30, 2020 30:12 AM

    Based on what I have learned about blood types human breeding of people having non identical blood types would result in immune systems attacking the unborn that have blood types that are different than the mother. The result would be still births and miscarriages.
    Until the advent of blood typing tests having children was a matter of chance.
