Thinking Catholic Blog
This Site seeks to turn the nominal Catholic into a thinking Catholic, to prod American culture toward return to Judao-Christian moral norms, and to prod Catholicism in America back to alignment with Rome. Supports the traditions of Western Civilization, and champions the orthodox Catholic ethos. Attacks heterodox Catholic teaching on sight. Promotes the return to critical thinking, the Scientific Method and Science. Attacks Scientism on sight.
Seeks to turn the nominal American citizen into a lover of family, property, tradition, free enterprise, capitalism, citizen liberty, restrained government and the American Constitution. Declares that This Is A Christian Nation with representative government, and defends that status. It is our Common Ethos that makes of us a unique, distinct people, and a unique, distinct nation. Most of the common citizenry still know their own purpose for being that gives their lives direction and order; most of the elites have had that educated out of them and they no longer know right from wrong.
When America finally ceases to be a Christian nation and looses her proper sense of purpose and direction, or, when we loose citizen representation in government, America will die. The very idea of America, which is quite unique, will die.
