Can I Have Some of Your Kool-Aid Drew Mariani?


Last Wednesday afternoon, I made the mistake of turning on "Relevant" Radio. The Drew Mariani Show was on and Drew was trying to give me the special Kool-Aid. The show was on birth control. I believe that under most circumstances, the use of birth control is a good thing. Drew is of the traditional belief that birth control is an intrinsic evil - wrong in any circumstance.

He then explained that when you except birth control, you are not far from becoming pro-abortion, which means you are about to think that euthanasia is a good idea, which means that you are about to support genocide. Uh?

Logically then, since I think birth control is okay, I guess I also think that the genocide of all Native American tribes, Jews, Shiite Muslims, and any other group that I'm not a part of is a wonderful idea. The next logical conclusion is that almost every American would also think that genocide is okay. Unfortunately, he didn't explain at all how this sequence occurs, I would imagine because it does not make any sense. Also, if you look at my previous blog entry, the US and WI bishops appear to be swaying towards genocide themselves.

Someone please let me know when "Relevant" Radio is having another fundraising drive so that I can donate. (I'm being very sarcastic.)

Maybe you don't know this, but the Cafeteria closed around the time of Paul VI's definitive encyclical on this matter.

If you're eating, you're in a Lutheran restaurant.

For anyone who wants to be especially careful to avoid it, that would be December 5, 2007, the later part of Hour 2 and continued in hour 3, in the show's archive.

I heard a program on "relavant radio" about capital punishment some time ago. What a creative hour of bobbing and weaving and gyrating---all to avoid the church's teaching on the issue--talk about a cafeteria!

What is the Church's teaching on this issue? It is my understanding that the Church teaches that Capital Punishment can be licit but that under today's circumstances particularly in wealthy nations it should not be used. However, when it comes to abortion that is never licit under any circumstances. Is that how you understand the Church's teachings on this?

Janet Smith has a really good talk on this topic entitled "Contraception-Why Not?" I think you can get it at the following website:
