CatholicMil Quotes

Harder Than Hell
The goal of every Christian ought to be to love more perfectly-and ultimately to get to heaven.  It is literally harder than hell to get to heaven.  It cost Jesus his life to open the gates, and it will cost us the same.  If our goal is heaven, we need to have a plan to see that this happens.  I believe our immediate goal should be to live a holy life.  What a tragedy if we as Christians don't become holy; holiness is what we have been created for.  And to be holy, to grow in our relationship with Christ, we must have a tangible plan. -Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR

Roland Bainton, who died in 1984, was a fixture at the Yale Divinity School for more than four decades and remained an influential Church historian over during two decades of retirement. His most popular book was Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther; but Luther scholarship has gone far beyond Bainton since Here I Stand was published in 1950. Bainton’s Christian Attitudes Toward War and Peace, however, which was first published in 1960, continues to exert a significant influence on Christian thought today. The question is whether that influence is helpful, or baleful.

Revisiting Military's Ban on Homosexuals PDF Print E-mail

Due in part to the recent State of the Union address, our US military is once again tasked to battle the issue of homosexuality among its ranks, specifically whether or not 10 USC 634-  the "don't ask, don't tell" law- should be upheld or repealed. The Catholic Church remains equally unmoved in regards to homosexuality as it is to heterosexuality; singling out the military community is to reduce the moral question to a matter of mere location.

History Games Straddle a Fine Line Between Realism and Exploitation...

Saving Private Ryan cast a long shadow over game design. Steven Spielberg's use of handheld cameras and graphic depictions of combat violence created an intense and unblinking view of the horrors of war.

Gaming - particularly 3-D, first-person action gaming - was still coming of age when the movie was released in 1998, and Spielberg himself saw the potential of the genre.Working with his team at DreamWorks Interactive, he developed "Medal of Honor" (1999) to recreate the realism and intensity of Saving Private Ryan as an interactive experience. It seems to be a natural extension of the evolution of media: Put control of an experience like Saving Private Ryan in the hands of the viewer, while maintaining the same level of respect for the material.

But it's not that simple.

Santo Domingo, Jan 28, 2009- Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez of Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) called the decision by President Barack Obama to lift the prohibition against giving federal funds to organizations that promote abortion overseas "embarrassing for the United States."

The cardinal said it was a "political contradiction" that the new American president "would decide to leave Iraq, where so many people have died, and now give an incentive to death in the United States and the world."
