As a semi-practicing Catholic I agree. We know what is right, but our carnal nature interferes with our god-given goodness. It’s quite a dilemma and God knows we are going to struggle with this battle as long as we live in our terrestrial form. That’s why we are asked to repent, and God is good enough to give us that chance again and again. As long as we are in our earthly form forgiveness is available. The power of the Devil is so strong though that many people won’t admit they have sinned, and some carry it through to the bitter end. It is just so sad and dark and frightening…excellent article.
Thanks David. Just got out of hospital in AZ and slowly making my way back to Mexico with Gaby behind the wheel…so I expect to be able to put up something in the next week or so. Alex is really a talented writer and you are lucky to have him on your team. I went to Catholic high School in West St. Paul and the church this happened at to was right next door to Holy Angels high school who used to kick our ass in football quite regularly lol.

I think you should write on these themes more regularly, Fred. I’d be really interested in your perspective on these spiritual matters.
