Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he tackles Birth Tourism and Just War Theory. Father Koys discusses what Birth Tourism is and how it ends up affecting who votes and who we are as a nation pointing out that we are a nation searching for identity as we suffer through an identity crisis. In discussing this he makes relational connection between how we become a citizen and how we become a catholic: vowing fidelity to the US and accepting Baptism being born into Catholicism. Later he discusses the 5 aspects of the Just War Theory. He reviews each aspect of the theory and discusses his interpretation as to how they apply to the current war. After the final break he delves into his analysis of the application of the Just War Theory in the war with Iran.

Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony regroup today after the Tridium and Easter Sunday. They chat about the current times we're living in and the state of the world; war and fear of escalation. They try to turn to the better topic of Easter and Father recounts the story of the young man coming to terms that there is a God and he needs to accept this and stop living in denial. Father comments on the beauty of that acceptance and discusses how the gospel calls us to love and obey God. His hope is that ALL come to this realization and live a life according to God’s Law.

It’s another brain wrinkling Wednesday as Father Tom takes on his sabbatical travels near Knoxville, TN.
Father Koys takes us into a Protestant worship space where there is praise and worship with a stage and no mention of the Trinity. The Pascal Mystery isn’t considered as congregants are urged to accept only Jesus as their Lord and Savior with no mention of who He is. Notably absent is the reality that Christ is 2nd Person of the Trinity and that Christ will send the Holy Spirit.
Father Koys noted that in this Protestant worship space there is no concept of intercessory prayer with the Communion of Saints and that the fullness of Christ’s teaching is not realized.
