Civic Life and Classical Education and Homeschooling 101 abortion, Archbishop Chaput 2:44 pm
Homeschooling gives you the opportunity to train your children in civic responsibility and action that makes sense. It goes beyond teaching them to recycle and save the planet, and even affords you the opportunity to ask the question “save the planet from what or whom?”
Another thing that homeschooling provides is a context for thinking. If you follow a good plan, the Classics for instance, you introduce your children to the great thinkers of Western Civilization, from Moses to Chesterton. By studying their ideas, you help your children to understand why we believe and behave as we do. You help them to understand the background of our government and the teachings of the Church, especially those regarding life. You help them to see that most of our ideas are not new; rather they are rooted in the prayerful consideration of the meaning of life which has gone on for thousands of years.
Recently, Archbishop Chaput spoke to the ENDOW conference in Denver. The title of his talk was “The Homicides involved in Abortion are ‘Little Murders.’” The good Archbishop has a clear view of history and an understanding that history has a way of repeating itself. Please take time to read his address to the conference, and you might want to look up some of those people he mentions along the way if you haven’t had the benefit of a classical education. It is never too late to begin…

I got this from Barb who got it from the Stupid Fat Hobbit. Great points and laughter too. Imagine that!
By the way, please offer a prayer right now for Barb’s sister. She broke her back when she fell from a ladder and could have a long recovery ahead. Thanks.

Beware the Catholic Campaign for Human Development Tuesday, Oct 14 2008
This N That USCCB 8:20 pm
Raymond Arroyo spoke about role the Catholic Campaign for Human Development has had in this political mess we are now in on the World Over Live this week, and I decided to pursue it further. I read this very distressing article by Deal Hudson today, and it confirmed the gut feeling I have had for a number of years not to support the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. The USCCB has been giving money to ACORN in which Barack Obama is heavily involved and which is being investigated for voter fraud all over the country. If you have given to the CCHD campaign and want to know where your generously donated money has gone, or if you have had questions and refused to give, read this.
And if you want to know more about Alinsky who is mentioned in the above article, and if you have a strong stomach, read here.

This is what the left thinks of us, folks. And Mark Warner is no insignificant player in the political sphere. He was a keynote speaker at the DNC.
