Happy Little Critters Band John Vogler
-
- Religion & Spirituality
Father John Vogler is a retired Roman Catholic priest with over 50 years of experience in parishes, in prison ministry and in working with lay-evangelization movements like Marriage Encounter, the Cursillo and the Charismatic Renewal.
Father John claims to have discovered in the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity an entirely new way of explaining the Gospel as well as everything else that we humans experience.
He acknowledges the fact that his explanations are not the official Catholic ones, but he asserts that they do an even better job of defending radical Catholic orthodoxy.
He constantly is reminding everyone that merely understanding his explanations in one's head is not good enough to save humanity. He insists that we only really know what we do. Doing God's Will on earth is the only way to establish the Kingdom.

Human Intimacy Is Better Than Sex
Fr. John is not stupid. He knows that we will turn to genital sex when we are in need. But, he claims that the need for human intimacy is best fulfilled without the genital. We just need to learn how. He claims that down through the ages, we keep feeding each other the "lie" that only the genital can completely satisfy us.

Holy Persons and An Unholy God
Philosophy, theology and science all involve the mind trying to understand what we see, hear and experience.
I have discovered a distinction in the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity that allows the mind to explain everything logically and plausibly.
"I believe in an unholy God."

How Muddy Are Your Footprints?
If we are to participate in building the Kingdom here on earth, it is absolutely certain that we are going to have to get messy.
