Orthoscopic is an adjective
meaning free from visual distortion.
Orthoscopy is my noun form of this
word which I have tentatively
chosen as the title for a book I am
currently writing. The intent of the
book is to share some thoughts
about how we, as individuals and as
a society, can better address
problems of today. I do not intend
to offer solutions to those problems,
but instead suggestions for
removing obstacles to seeing the
solutions.
One of the things I have identified
in the early stages of this project is
the need to look to our religious
leaders for greater guidance. Since
leaders of the different world
religions will provide varying, and
often conflicting, direction, there is
an obvious need for successful
inter-religious dialogue to help us
find what God really wants us to do.
I definitely need to learn more
about the beliefs of other religions.
At the same time, I hope to use this
website to share my beliefs as a
Catholic Christian.
For this reason I have decided to
include links to my recent homilies
that I have prepared and presented
at Sacred Heart Parish in Imlay City,
Michigan. I have also included links
to articles I have written for our
parish bulletin to respond to
questions from our parishioners.
Some are very specific to Catholic
practices, and some are very
specific to concerns in our local
community, but hopefully you may
find some of them interesting
nonetheless. I will look for other
ways to share an understanding of
Catholic teachings in the future.
