The only “box” edey fits into is that of a statistical anomaly. She wants to change the world but is also a firm believer in tradition. (”It is obvious that tradition is only democracy extended through time.” -G.K. Chesterton) Cultivating a respect for the dignity of all life is the guiding principle of her politics. Never afraid to buck the trend, she tries to follow her favorite <a href=”http://www.geocities.com/Michael_F_Jimenez”>professor’s</a> lead by defying power in order to make space for love. She knows that the only happiness is love, which is attained by giving, not receiving.

edey is a science geek with such eclectic intellectual pursuits that-not only did she end up with two undergraduate degrees-she designed her own liberal arts major. She is on a never-ending quest for truth and beauty. While edey is a tomboy, she can surprise even herself by being “such a girl” under certain circumstances. Her greatest assets-her passion, honesty, and loyalty-are her greatest liabilities. Ultimately, she strives to follow St. John the Baptist’s words: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)

Should Chaste Gay Catholics Come Out?

I don’t have an answer to this question, which is why I am posing it here. Should those who are gay/lesbian/bisexual and CHASTE (i.e., not engaging in gay actions) be out? I’m not talking about going to gay pride parades or anything, but being open about their homosexual attractions to others. I guess the question […]

A Case for Revolution

"My ideal at least is fixed; for it was fixed before the foundations of the world. My vision of perfection assuredly cannot be altered; for it is called Eden. You may alter the place to which you are going; but you cannot alter the place from which you have come. To the orthodox there must […]

Safe, Illegal, and Very Rare?

In a recent conversation with a fellow pro-lifer, we were discussing Clinton’s "Safe, Legal, and Rare" position on abortion. He said (and is welcome to correct me if I am misquoting him) he thinks abortion should be "safe, illegal, and very rare". Now, the point of this post is "is that possible"? I would say […]

Fruitful Multiplication and Care of God’s Creation

Earlier, Funky explored Pius XII’s comments on family size. However, one thing that seems to come up frequently when discussing the idea of having large families is how to reconcile a large family with preserving the earth for future generations and caring for God’s creation. As I have said in the past, I think the […]

Liturgical Soapbox: Humility, Contrition, and Petitions in the Tridentine and Novus Ordo Missals

Although SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM uses language that can be interpreted different ways, I would say that the Missal of 1970 is the correct interpretation of the document, particularly since both Popes Paul VI and John Paul II have been quoted as saying so. However, that said, I would still argue that the Missal of 1962 is […]
