Blogger's Note

In the past year of blogging, I have posted much about the Catholic Church. However, I do NOT want this blog to be mistaken as a "Catholic Blog." I am an individual in practicing communion with the Catholic Church, who believes there exists much misguided understanding about it, both from within, and on the outside. It is an entity that somewhat predominates the religious landscape in much of the Western world, and love it or hate it, and cite whatever trends, but it is not going away anytime soon. Understanding it is integral to both current political and cultural literacy, regardless of what emotions Catholicism make evoke.

This is a blog on sociopolitical themes and trends (this includes religion, as just explained), and should be considered somewhat anti-establishment. The "establishment" generally refers to the ruling, political elite of the day. For our purposes, it includes those in lockstep with corporate, as well as government interests. But it also pertains to certain predominate social interests, like political correctness, which can be rather amorphous. On the political front, my fervent opposition to the G.O.P. establishment -- which hinges on corporate primacy,government statism, and interventionism -- is unmistaken.
