It has been said that rat poison is 99 percent nutritious? It's the 1 part of strychnine that does in a rat. Some religious books contain mostly good information, but also contain a few paragraphs of sinister misinformation that can send a trusting reader way off his rightful spiritual course. The same can be said to catechisms, movies, secular books, and the accounts of recent Marian apparitions. It is also common for verses to be taken from the Bible out of context and used against the precepts of the Catholic Faith. In an attempt to alert sincere Catholics to the peril of uncritical reading and viewing, Mr. Biersach presents us with excerpts from a variety of sources and shows how their immediate meaning can be misleading until they are reinserted back into their overall context.

Biersach & Coulombe: Out of Context
A discussion of the dangers of taking things out of context, and of the existence of poison in otherwise healthy media.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
