The Road to Heck

Twice today on Facebook, I've come across commenters who are offended by the words "damn" and "hell". 

My response to those who use such vile and vulgar speech ...

What the hell?  Your damned foolish use of foul language is just the sort of thing to darn your soul to heck.

The Full Story on Bishop Finn

" Let's step outside and settle this thing like men ," she said, and she was a lady. " You're spewing anti-Catholic rhetoric !" he insisted. "How can you criticize a bishop when you're an actor and everyone knows actors are perverts and nitwits ," she screamed. (That last gal had a point). These are all reactions to my post last week about Rod Dreher's article on Bishop Finn's Indictment. And above all, people are charging me with believing the biased media coverage of the scandal. This, at least, is not true. In fact, everything I say in this post will be taken not from a media account of the scandal , but from the independent report on it as commissioned by the diocese , the Graves Report, which you can read on your own here . So let's shove the media aside and see for ourselves what's contained in this internal diocesan report conducted by an independent firm. *** Fr.

Rightly, McGuinness points out that our deepest desires are for more than what lust can provide, and that seeking to use porn to fulfill these desires is bound for frustration. But, incredibly - and it astonishes me as I write this - McGuiness, a member of a devout Catholic organization writing for a Catholic publication, encourages men to go all out for porn .  You want it?  Go for it!  You'll see it doesn't help. In other words, sin and sin boldly. To do otherwise is to be LESS THAN HOLY, or so McGuinness implies.  Do you desire to bring yourself to climax before lewd pictures on the internet but feel reluctant to do so?  Heck, you're a piker!  Don't be lukewarm or you'll be vomited out of Chris...
