PhuturePriest Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 God help me, but I cannot break with Starbucks. I think going qualifies as remote cooperation in evil which is almost impossible to avoid. Planned Parenthood and gay marriage aside, Starbucks coffee is an offense against humanity.

Nihil Obstat Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Starbucks supports Planned Parenthood and gay marriage. I'll sit around Dunkin' Donuts or Krispy Kreme instead. Nobody said you had to buy anything. Except maybe the manager. God help me, but I cannot break with Starbucks. I think going qualifies as remote cooperation in evil which is almost impossible to avoid. Yes, it is difficult to interpret it as anything other than remote material cooperation. If one wanted to boycott Starbucks because of those reasons, and make a moral stand out of it, then they would be more than justified in doing so, but nobody would be obligated to do the same at this point. On the other hand, if Starbucks ran some campaign saying "5 cents of every purchase you make goes directly to Planned Parenthood!", then maybe we would be having a different discussion.

Augusta Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hopefully there will be plenty of tasteful, masculine wrestling matches between the protagonist and his friends that evolve into something more. I hope you don't mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_wrestling -AK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papist Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Planned Parenthood and gay marriage aside, Starbucks coffee is an offense against humanity. Their corporate office maybe, but that does not necessarily trickle down to the individual stores' ownership, and its employees. Do you eat/use any Kraft products?

BigJon16 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 May I suggest you write based on your own experiences and not what you believe, think, etc. Then put it into the context of your Catholic faith. Make it personal to you, not on men as a whole. You are only an authority on yourself, not others. Yeah, there are some great books out there that go along the lines of this. The first two that come to mind are: Sinner: The Catholic Guy's Funny, Feeble Attempts to Be a Faithful Catholic by Lino Rulli http://www.amazon.com/Sinner-Catholic-Feeble-Attempts-Faithful/dp/1616360399/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361998151&sr=8-1&keywords=lino+rulli And, Fearing the Stigmata: Humorously Holy Stories of a Young Catholic's Search for a Culturally Relevant Faith by Matt Weber http://www.amazon.com/Fearing-Stigmata-Humorously-Catholics-Culturally/dp/0829437363/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1361998215&sr=1-1&keywords=matt+weber Ive read Lino's and am about half way through Matt Weber's. I would definitely recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
