Current issue topics include:

. . . THE VALIDITY AND SCOPE OF HUMAN EXERCISE OF DIVINE AUTHORITY AND POWER
From whence comes the power and the authority of Priests and Bishops, and what
are the limits and the extents of that power and authority?

. . . INTERNET MAILING LISTS

. . . SEEKING THE ENVIRONMENT OF GOD We are designed to be in the environment
of God.  It is important to understand that it is not that we are designed to
live in the environment of God, nor is it that we are designed to exist in the
environment of God - although both of these are true. It is that we are
designed to be in the environment of God.

. . . THE SACRED MYSTERIES (HOLY COMMUNION, THE EUCHARIST) HAVE AN OBSERVABLE
EFFECT (Eucharist 1) Consider people whose lives include their acquiescing in
their participation in aspects of the baser aspects of life . . . The result
is that most of the people who engage in these activities or life styles as a
core aspect of their lives, rarely if ever come into the presence of the
Sacred Mysteries (the Eucharist) . . . they never are in the physical presence
of Jesus Christ God. . . never have the opportunity to talk with God “face to
face” . . . a sinner has only two possible responses to sin: to justify the
sin, or to repent of the sin.

. . . ONE CONTINUES TO FIND JESUS PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN THE TEMPLE (Eucharist
2) Today we are situated similarly to Mary and Joseph. Jesus, being God, is
present everywhere. But unless He is making a very rare personal appearance -
in a Divine apparition - He is only physically present in the Sacred Mysteries
(in Holy Communion, the Eucharist)

. . . HOW WICKED PEOPLE THINK, WHAT THEY BELIEVE Wisdom Chapter 2

. . . BIBLE HISTORY FOR CHILDREN (Continued) 17. Jesus Teaches His Disciples
to Pray

. . . THE LOT OR END OF THE WICKED, WITH A BRIEF COMPARISON TO THAT OF THE
JUST OF THE HOLY Wisdom Chapter 5

. . . WHEN THE DNA OF THE SEED IS ALTERED An Admonition(?) Comparing the word
of God to seed induces new analogies derived from modern technology and modern
understanding of genetics without modifying even the slightest of what Our
Lord said and taught.

. . . CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING IMMIGRATION FROM ECCLESIASTICUS 11:31. Bring
not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful.

. . . MORAL DEPRAVITY IS DEEPLY ENTRENCHED AND ROOTED The great depth of moral
depravity and the extent to which it has become entrenched was made more
overtly evident in the last week of March (2016 A. D.) during an interview
with Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Basically, Mr. Trump was asked, if
abortion was made a crime should the mother of an aborted child be punished.
Mr. Trump responded in the affirmative. The interviewer, with a “gotchya
smirk”, in an incredulous tone of voice, asked if Mr. Trump really thought the
Mother should be punished.

. . . THE SHEPHERD OF HERMAS (Continued)

. . . THE CHURCH HISTORY OF EUSEBIUS BOOK VIII. (Continued)
