Dear Demi




Demi Lovato has released her own brand of vibrator called the “Demi Wand.” The Rolling Stone reports that Lovato has decided to have her own brand to “(normalize) sexual needs:” “We have spent far too long pretending we are not sexual beings … We are all deserving of orgasms.”[1]

I would like to respond to this. And I thought I would be great to do this by writing an open letter to the pop star.

 

Dear Demi Lovato,

I believe there was never a time in history when society never thought of humans as "sexual beings" or people gifted by God with sexual faculties. Even the Bible itself bears witness to this fact. As Dr. Peter Kreeft I believe has said, "When God said 'be fruitful and multiply', I don't think He meant 'grow pineapples and invent calculators.'"

The only difference between the Biblical vision of sex and your vision is that for you, our sexual faculties are merely tools for one's own pleasures while for the Bible (and the Church), our sexual faculties enable us to practice self-gift, to give ourselves to others selflessly for the sake of love and life. Our creation as male and female is an invitation to make visible God's invisible power to give Himself to others for the sake of others; to exercise in our own bodies the act that is due to other persons, who should never be treated as objects that should be merely used.

Would you continue to promote this perverted view of sexuality, Demi, or would you allow God's grace to influence you and empower you to embrace this amazing, magnificent Biblical vision of Divine love and how it is stamped in our God-given bodies? Open your eyes, ma'am. The choice is yours. I will remember you in my prayers tonight.

In Christ Jesus,


Matthew Luis Delgado Antero

Wanna Make Things Right? Stop Prioritizing Justice

  Image by  Jill Wellington  from  Pixabay It seems to me that there is an intuitive sense within us fallen human beings to prioritize justice in a cold, blind sense before everything else. Yes, even before love or friendship, we aim to make sure that we are given our due and that people who have hurt us should be hurt as well, so that he or she can feel what we also felt. For instance, if we learn that a person we consider a friend is actually stabbing us in the back, the reasonable response seems to be to break the friendship apart and complain about this same friend to other people. This seems what is just in our eyes. And for us, as long as our sense of blind justice is preserved, all will be well. But for Christ, making things right does not mean prioritizing justice in the retributive sense of the word. Rather, for Him, justice is merely secondary to gratuitous, no-holds-barred Divine Mercy. Mercy always and everywhere is primary. Only when Mercy precedes justice can things be ma

A Man Motivated By Love

Image by  Francesco Nigro  from  Pixabay First, a word about the 1988 movie The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey.  In the said movie, the main character, Truman Burbank (played by Carrey) lived in the biggest studio ever, which he thought was the real world, since he was the baby. Basically, everything around him is fake. He would interact with other people in his "island" not knowing they were simply paid actors. In short, he is living a life ruled by deception.  But there was a moment in his life where he met a woman named "Lauren" (whose real name is Sylvia), and fell in love with her. Lauren was also the first person in the whole show to tell Truman that he was living a lie, because in reality, she is a member of the "Free Truman" movement. Unfortunately, so that Truman would not know the truth, "Lauren" was taken off the show. To make the long story short, she became the motivating factor for Truman to leave his Island, a voyage which would u

Saint Thomas Aquinas, My Beloved Professor in Heaven: The four most important lessons I learned from the Angelic Doctor

                 It’s been three years since I first discovered and seriously personally studied the works of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and I can happily say that I am far from really scratching the surface. The Angelic Doctor has this awe-inspiring gift of deep insight when it comes to philosophical and theological truths; this great awareness of both the metaphysics of the cosmos and the infinite divine power and love that moves the planets, of both what things are in themselves and He Who Is, of the words that come from the wisdom of antiquity and the Word that breathes forth Love, Who is the Logos of God through Which the Father expresses His design in creation and through Which the Father recreates us in redemption. In short, Aquinas’s thought is this one, big, wholesome vision of God, our First Cause and Last End, and His mysterious and astonishing relationship with the universe that one cannot really claim to be an “expert” when it comes to his teachings (one can have a specialty in
