The overall scope of this Website covers the interplay between religion and politics, which is a very broad area. Morality is the main theme. Cultural morality, or ethos, is the whole point of the Website. Philosophy, history, current events and controversial topics all have their place here. Everything is not strictly religious, nor is it all strictly political. Everybody loves humor. Look over the whole site, and if you have an article or essay to contribute to any area of interest to this site’s audience, this is the place to submit it. (Purely commercial or money-making submissions or “link farms” will be rejected without comment.)

Submitted articles will become permanent WebPages on this site. You can request to delete it, and you can request to replace it. Your original article submission and each new reader comment will trigger a link to your article WebPage on the Site BLOG page, where you can track activity and interest in your article. The BLOG is date-time driven. Your article starts at the top of the BLOG list, and all comment activity moves it back to the top of the list on the date-time of the comment activity.

The BLOG page only holds the latest 50 active links to pages, so, sooner or later, with no activity, your link will roll off the BLOG page. When it gets more activity, it will again move back to the top of the BLOG page.

No matter what, you will always be able to find your article somewhere in the Site Map at the bottom of the HOME PAGE. Every page in the site is automatically listed there. If I (or our readers) think it’s an outstanding article, I will give it a left column navigation button so people can find it easier. I am now providing links to all submitted articles in the new “default” right hand column, which appears on virtually every page on the WebSite.

Note that if you wish your submission to become one of the Arguments Pro and Con articles, you must say so. If you are presenting a new Argument, let me know and I will include reference and a link in the Arguments Pro and Con page, as well as a navigation button.

Copy-and-paste your content into the Article area below, or, put your cursor there and just type away. Included HTML is fine, if you know what you're doing and don't get ridiculous. (We don’t want a lot of flashy, glitzy color or “shouting” fonts.) Included links are fine, so long as they link to decent Websites. I will give you credit at the top of the article for whatever gets published here. Be sure to include an author's name and/or business and/or Website URL for a “by” line or other authorship credit. If you are using someone else's material, be sure you have not violated anyone's copyright.

Any name will do; e-mail is not required. If you are submitting original material, you may use “Anonymous” as an author’s name if that is your wish.

Send any pictures for your article in .jpg format as email attachments to:
vic@thinking-catholic-strategic-center.com.

If you wish to copyright-protect your material, or if it is someone else’s copyrighted material, be sure to include the appropriate copyright wording needed for inclusion.

Keep it decent and it will be published. Get your words out there where they can be seen and do some good. You can do this.

Regards,

Vic

The following guidelines regarding plagiarism are copied verbatim from the Tea Party Patriots member’s BLOG area, because it seemed a perfectly appropriate set of rules to apply here. Nobody likes plagiarism.

Plagiarism Policy Statement

Dictionary.com defines plagiarism as “the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.”

Plagiarism is unethical. It robs the original author of credit for the ideas expressed, robs the reader of the ability to identify the source of the material presented and thereby put the material into context, and forces those innocently connected to the plagiarist to waste valuable time and effort in defending their own integrity.

Plagiarism damages the ability to be taken seriously as a source of news and ideas, calls into question the values which we espouse, believe and promote, and limits its effectiveness in gaining adherents to the cause of freedom.

Rules for Citing Sources

Whenever using someone else’s words, thoughts or ideas, contributors must place quotation marks before and after that material, name the person, organization, or other entity quoted, and cite the source of the quote.

Citations may appear via footnotes at the end of the article, or placed within the body of the article itself. Whenever the source of the material cited is a web site, a link to the original material must be provided.
