“Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won’t know for twenty years. And you’ll never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is: it’s what you create. Even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn’t really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved.”

- “Synecdoche, New York”, Charlie Kaufman (via alighthouseofwords)

“Father Barron has noted that if [the] will is the problem, then [the] will is not the solution. I want to say that I should be able to pull myself up by my own bootstraps. Quit doing the things I hate, and do the things I love instead. Combat my lack of will power, with willpower! …

I even, in some perverse way, love my failures. If I repeat them often enough, it just might be justification to throw in the towel–which is what I really want–no more resistance, nothing to work against, the absence of conflict. The diet that I’m always meaning to go on, can just go away. Isn’t this what the world is saying when it’s telling the Church to modernize, change it’s teaching on age old conundrums. Quit putting up resistance, Church, no more obstacles of conscience, please. Go with the flow so the rest of us can relax.

It would be better to find a new vocabulary for our sins, a friendlier vocabulary. Let’s not talk about sins of Onan and Sodom, and words like fornication and adultery. Dumb old words. They say too much.

I would rather believe that I just lack will-power rather than that I am committing gluttony. I’m “finding” not “stealing” the money. I’m too busy to pray; I’m not committing idolatry by putting other things first. I’d rather acknowledge the “complexities of human sexuality” than admit that my lust makes me feel sheepish and sleazy and adds toxicity to my relationships with the opposite sex.

There’s always a less indicting term for bad behavior, and it’s important for me find it, so I don’t become sufficiently disgusted with myself to realize I am beyond my own help. Then I can keep both my sins and my delusions.

This is where I think the Church has the most exciting future in what’s being called the New Evangelization: if sin really is sin, and it’s true that I cannot, by all the forces of my own will, rid myself of it–then the Gospel is once again Really Good News. Because Jesus Christ took on all the suffering of humanity and paid the price for our salvation.”

Scantily clad activists of feminist group Femen invaded a conference at a university in Brussels. During the act, demonstrators threw water on the Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, Andre-Joseph Leonard.

The Archbishop did not react and avoided looking at the activists.

The protest was against homophobia, according to international agencies.

At the end of the demonstration, the archbishop kissed a picture of the Virgin Mary and left the room.

An archbishop being publicly attacked in Brussels for his beliefs. French police readying fire hoses for peaceful protesters against legalized same-sex marriages. State governments in America bringing lawsuits against flower vendors for not participating in gay weddings. Priests being driven from college campus ministries for teaching Catholic values.
Welcome to world of homosexual unions. Hate, intolerance and discrimination in the name of “equality”.
