Sunday, April 3, 2011. Reframing Ethics: Our Perspective on Sin and Its Consequences. When it comes to ethics in general, and Christian ethics in particular, I think that outsiders and insiders alike make incorrect assumptions about the nature of sin and its consequences. For example, why does the Catholic Church say that premarital sex is wrong? Additionally, we often make incorrect assumptions about the consequences. Therefore, what is pious and good – and therefore what is right and wrong –...

Thursday, May 26, 2011. Waterboarding: Problem with the Political Discourse of Ethical Issues. I’ve said before that our public discourse concerning political and ethical issues lacks a certain philosophical foundation. The categories and distinctions philosophy provides can prove tedious, but they offer an important common language that we can use to dissect current issues. They allow us to distinguish between issues that are multi-layered and nuanced. Until we get back to the original discussion at han...

Monday, November 14, 2011. Religion as Culture Vs. Religion as Truth. Back to the moral and religious ambiguities of my Drew class on “Religion, Culture, and Conflict.” The origins of this post are earlier than this class, though: in a conversation with a fellow grad student and colleague at Seton Hall. The comment made me scratch my head, but I didn't know the girl well enough to pursue the topic. He said that step 1. I know I’ve run across this idea many times before, but this speaker, as an inte...

Skrignov's Corner: Rambling Thoughts on Religious Freedom
http://skrignovscorner.blogspot.com/2012/03/rambling-thoughts-on-religious-freedom.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Rambling Thoughts on Religious Freedom. I have been absent lately on the blogosphere, especially in regards to this contraception/freedom of religion debate. Thanks, Basil, for continually keep us posted. I've been hoping for some time to really reflect and organize my thoughts, but alas, the busyness of school (and school) has been a tad extreme. So all I have the time and space for is a rambling in regards to a few personal thoughts. Be wrong to make a woman have a baby! The pe...

Skrignov's Corner: August 2013
http://skrignovscorner.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 8, 2013. Keeping things in perspective. Something that has been kicking around in my thoughts of late is the way in which conversations (or debates, dialectics, or the study of a particular subject) can dominate the room to the extent that we participants have the (illusory) impression that OUR discussion is THE discussion. I first was struck by this when reading Jesus of Nazareth. I see this also in books like The Everlasting Man. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thoughts from the Porch.

Thursday, September 29, 2011. A Conflict of Perspectives: The “Eternal Perspective” Vs. “The Here-and-Now”. Growing up in a strong Christian-Catholic environment, I was often told to look at everything with the “eternal perspective.” Simply, this means looking at all of our actions, inactions, relationships, etc. through the lens that we will either end up in heaven or hell. On the one hand, this makes a lot of sense. I want to understand the consequences of my actions in order to better choose. Do I nee...

Thursday, February 16, 2012. On the HHS Mandate, as delegated by Congress in the PPACA. Regarding this article (. Http:/ www.catholicvote.org/discuss/index.php? That I posted on facebook, this beginning of a conversation took place:. Basil,] are you aware whether your insurance plan covers these things? Did that enter your mind at all when you signed up for it? Isn't the moral locus, my choice about use, as opposed to the option itself? How is this not about the 1st Amendment (religious freedom)? The adm...
