About me

Gender Male
Industry Religion
Occupation Theologian and Philosopher
Location Fishers, Indiana, United States
Introduction Traditional Catholic. My intention is to engage the culture, to debate the thunderous questions of humanity, serve to bring greater glory to Christ Our Savior and his most blessed Mother Mary, and oppose gravely scandalous and destructive ideologies. The tools I implore are logic, history, theology, and philosophy so that our actions follow our beliefs and being. Lex sequitur esse - all law is predicated on the nature of the being. Therefore, I support the Right to Life movement, denounce all unjust violence, and oppose the encroachment of the Brave New World. Pope John Paul II: Even in the midst of difficulties and uncertainties, every person sincerely open to truth and goodness can, by the light of reason and the hidden action of grace, come to recognize in the natural law written in the heart (cf. Rom 2:14-15) the sacred value of human life from its very beginning until its end, and can affirm the right of every human being to have this primary good respected to the highest degree. Note: should any occasion arise in which my work appears to stand in opposition to the teaching of the Holy Catholic Church, it is I who am wrong and at fault.
Interests Theology, philosoohy, history, politics, and culture. Ethics, bio-ethics, Natural Law, writings of Pope John Paul II the Great, and Mariology are my primary interests. The sanctity of human life is of utmost importance to me.
