Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000 RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT A prophetic/theological condemnation of Koranolatry and, in the faux-Christian orbit, its analog, Bibliolatry, is required.  The issue is an ancient one: idolatry, the result of the constant impulse in man to…

Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000 RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT Three points come to mind regarding this: 1- Islam sprang from the prophets of Christianity, mostly desert dwellers, as a classic Semitic iconoclastic or puritan movement against superstitions associated with images…

Certain liturgical developments occur periodically. Here is an archive of such. The purpose is to consecrate life as a whole, to see the truth as the whole, to honor the mothers of all species and persons by fostering the circumstances which conduce to fulfillment of the intrinsic potential of each of their womb inhabitants and each of…

Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000 RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT SECTION I Overview I reject parsing religions into denominations or sects and, ultimately, I reject parsing religion itself into “religions.” Religion is religion, no matter now denominated.  There is one God. …

RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, Honors of State should be accorded to those who lived in selfless service to their Country, either through high office elected by a majority of Americans, vitally successful military service in defense of their Country while it is in mortal peril or…

The fatwa in the modern era bears a polemical intent against a target outside what is considered Islam by the issuers. Polemical is perhaps too intellectualizing a word to describe that intent and hostile-agressive-attack against a perceived enemy would be more accurate. Islamic representatives particularly of Sharia are fighting hard, as we know, to stave…

Some thoughts: 1- President George W. Bush is going to be regarded in the same breath as Lincoln and Washington. Their mantle rests on his shoulders. I trust him. My only criticism of President Bush is that he has not put the country on war footing, as during WWII. 2- There is no requirement that…

This from the end of a Martin Peretz article, no longer available, in a Commentary chain of articles identifies what I think is the key issue: What the Bush Doctrine has not dealt with is the issue that has been forced, albeit very reluctantly, upon Europe. It is not only a matter of sleeper cells. There is the more…

Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000 RAMANAM In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen. Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT Each of the five great religions of man — Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Islam and Christianity — is universally, but not solely universally, valid. Each is a universally effective, but none is…

Responding to this: This article strikes me as wrong, through and through. For one, it deals with Marx in characterizations of his thought and effects rather than in terms of his thoughts, their differences and effects from, say, those of Teilhard or Tillich and, more specifically on Marx’s personal point of rebellion — which was justified…

Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000 RAMANAM In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.  Amen. Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT Discussing the internet hoax about the Koran containing a verse that specifies the date of the air attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States: This is an excellent example of how…

Countrymen, ORBIS NON SUFFICIT SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT Responding to Joseph Epstein’s What Happened To The Movies. Scratching head. Was something important being written about?
