Francis Jacobson on Trump and The Catholic Media

Yes, most Catholics are opposed to Mr. Trump, and the “support” the conservative Catholic media gives him is based only on the abortion issue. Here is why I say that calling them racists is counter-productive. A Trump supporter will merely take those words and twist them into some sort o[...]

Francis Jacobson: Why Trump Has a Chance

 Francis Jacobson I have noticed tons and tons of posts, news stories and the like that show what a charlatan he is. Likewise, the same is true for Mrs. Clinton. My friendBryan will post something and comment “May it be his downfall.” Yet I know that it won’t, and I think I have a[...]

FRANCIS JACOBSON: Education Is Not Free

FRANCIS JACOBSON There is an idea floating around about free college education. I don’t favor this. I favor a German style segregation of students, but since American parents see their children as a refection on them I don’t see this happening. I say this based on personal experience. I [...]

FRANCIS JACOBSON: The Donald vs. The Bernie

FRANCIS JACOBSON It seems that two Presidential candidates have gained strength by reaching out to people who have been losers in the New Economy and Globalization.

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: The right to life

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: A Catholic Friend Agonizes Over the 2016 Election

I’m not sure how to articulate this, but there are a number of personal “vice grips” I see in this election. I’ve also been reluctant because as soon as it’s up I’m going to get “trolled” by a Trumpeter. Nevertheless, here goes: 1. Yes, Mr. Kaine is a [...]

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: When The Catholic Church Fails

If I were do it over again, I likely would have left Catholic Church and attempted some other spiritual discipline. It’s not the sex abuse scandal or the numerous sins of the past. I believe in repentance and forgiveness. It’s the fact that the “orthodox” laity, the New Evang[...]

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: Why am I Catholic?

I am a Catholic, but everyday, I ask myself “Why am I Catholic?” The theology takes a lot of faith without reason. The Christian teachings could just as easily be identified as Buddhist, but the Buddhist doesn’t have to deal with questions about God made man. The Buddhist ethic seems more in h[...]
