Steven Hawking and The “Gravity God”

April 3, 2022 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 3 Comments

Stephen Hawking in Cambridge

Why is there something rather than nothing? Stephen Hawking insists that gravity is the answer to that perennial question. That is, gravity is God and the “Gravity God” is the creator. Sorry, but that answer doesn’t make the grade.

Root Problem: A Failure to Understand What it Means to be Human

November 10, 2021 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Woman's eye

It is no surprise that American secularists display a high level of disdain for Catholicism, since, whether they admit it or not, the Catholic Church represents the antithesis of their futile quest to annihilate truth and religion.

Relativism: The Societal Poison of our Age

October 12, 2021 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Swimming Across the Road

Relativism undermines the purpose of the human intellect, which is to seek, find and know the truth, most especially the ultimate Truth: God. Consequently, it is not only an affront to human dignity but also damages individuals and society, working to prevent people from attaining their destiny in eternal communion with God.

Relativism Has A Lot To Do With America Today

February 3, 2021 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

relativism and moral fragmentation

Relativism has a lot to do with America’s present ills. It can be linked to the increasing tendency to dismantle and overthrow what is right and good and beautiful. It’s at least partly responsible for the war on the American way of life and our history. It leads to an emotionally fueled hate for truth.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
