heresy is nothing new







heresy is nothing new.  i know i am writing about the catholic church.  im a member of the catholic church.  i used to be liberal. but, that only gave me more confusion and no guiding principle. 



im not writing that now i know everything and here im telling people what to believe and how to  believe and what to do.  i just try to live my life with some vision.  i just try to find peace.  i just want to have more integrity in my life.

i no longer now what to do with the teaching of Pope Francis and his take on many issues.  im confused by him.  i decided to stick with the Catechism and pray that all of us find peace and integrity what ever that means for us.

Ramadam - Month of Fasting

Image
Ramadam is a holy month to all people who consider themselves Muslims.  It is a month where they fast during the day and they break the fast at night.  Fasting does not only mean lack of food or drink. Ramadam means fasting from any pleasure.  That would include physical pleasure.  It is a holy time of purifying soul and connecting to God through every aspect of life. It is a month when we learn how to control anger, bad language, bad behavior, bad feelings, etc.  Some people choose to prepare themselves for that month by eliminating some food and changing the life style weeks or days before it starts.  The goal of Ramadam is that it should change people.  People after the Ramadam should be different than when they entered that month.   Even though I will not abstain from food and drink I will still connect myself with my Muslim brothers and sister and try in my own way to reduce some physical pleasure and to purify by soul. Happy Ra...

Sir Nicholas Winton - quietly saved 669 children from the Holocaust

Image
People need to be creative in the times of difficulty.  Why? It is sometimes the only one way how we and others can service.    Sir Nicholas Winton (Born :  May 19, 1909 (age 106) and Died : July 1, 2015)  was a man who was able to think beyond the social, political, economic limitations.   That helped him to save 669 Jewish children from the Holocaust.   This clip is an explanation of how Sir Nicholas did that and what kind of impact his thinking and acting had on people’s lives. Also, it is interesting, that he did not stop helping.  He focused his life on protecting others who could not do this for themselves.  He is one of the Tzadikim   Nistarim – the hidden righteous ones.

Francis Divides Atheists

all are atheists “Nobody can accuse the Catholic Church of being democratic, but as an atheist I’ll paraphrase Winston Churchill’s remark about democracy: Pope Francis is the worst pope we ever had, except for all the others. I’m no papal historian, but I’m pressed to think of a less bad pope. True, I have nothing bad to say about Pope John Paul I, perhaps because he was pope for only 33 days. Although Pope Benedict XVI unified atheists whenever he made pronouncements on atheists, gays, pedophilia, and all matters sexual, his successor, Pope Francis, is a divider rather than a uniter within the atheist community. Some atheists see this pope glass as 1/10 full, while others see it as 9/10 empty.(By Herb Silverman)” http://www.faithstreet.com/onfaith/2013/09/23/pope-francis-divides-atheists I like Mr. Silverman’s statement. I think it is good that some religious people challenge some atheists and that some atheists find something interesting and good among religious people. I...
