Maybe your wise Grandmother will offer a commentary on one of the stories and you can provide the translation subtitles?

Lynn Colliar the host reacts to the revelation of the plucky little girl's lie.

"It has a whole magical world to it."

Well that's probably fine for a fantasy story of course. But how does it resolve the hero, a little girl, not asking permission from her mother to work for a witch?

Has anyone read this book yet?

Your grandmother is very sweet for being such a good sport and coming on-camera. Kiss her once for each rating of this broadcast!

In the first place, full disclosure, I am (I hope) a faithful Catholic. In the second place this man has done imprudent people and the public authorities, not to mention the local ordinariate, an enormous favor with his discovery and warning about infected water that people were... Assuming he has no reason to lie about anything... Eeee-yuck... In the third place I see nothing about the response of the local bishop but instead, just the usual comically irrational -- coming from people who call … [More]

Because of the nearly universal popularity of reductionist thinking, I have taken to illuminating the fact that the 16 documents of the II Vatican Council are a different matter entirely from an imagined "spirit of Vatican II" anecdotally cited in an attempt to justify violence done to the holy Liturgy.

I have found that when you formulate the distinction between the 16 documents promulgated, and the frequently insane attempt at "application" of a disunderstanding of those 16 documents, you … [More]

Raymond Ibrahim's Original June 4 English account of 'Egypt Today' broadcast of Christian convert's beheading by praying Islamists:

Video link of this protracted murder is on this page.
It is said to be horrific.

There is a tendency to want to diagram the unjustness of this woman, and indeed she deserves the legal consequences of her actions, if the police will act in justice.

And we are to pray for her.

There is nothing new under the sun. In the mid-20th century, the publishing industry was panicked by first the popularity and rapidity of radio, then film, then television. In response they needed to break new ground and create products that would motivate consumers to go to buy books instead of watching free television at home.

Publishers found a bonanza starting with the disgusting work and career of one Albert Kinsey a "researcher" shunned by his colleagues for the statistical shoddiness of … [More]

If I were a priest I would put you under an obedience to never stop making these great videos you do. You are an awesome Catholic media evangelist.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I can't believe how cool this kid is!

Friends I seem to have discovered a very popular subject!
Needless to say, I am thrilled, as are my co-authors of this work.
Thank you!



We have never seen anything we have produced in over three years "go viral" on YouTube. It is a true thrill to see Fr. Barron hit it out of the park like this.

But I must take advantage of this little spotlight to intercede for a favor... (forgive me).

If you have not seen Fr. Barron's "Catholicism" series, I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY ENOUGH. If I try any … [More]

Saraash:

Is it slander to wonder how this can be an authentic apparition, when the Curia has not approved it? I appreciate your conversion, and give thanks to God for it, but who do you trust as an infallible authority in such matters? It has to be the Pope or whosoever he delegates, and nobody else. Otherwise we have only mayhem.

The Holy Spirit can bring about good in the midst of good or of evil as He wishes. It's up to our bishops in union with the Pope and his councils to make all such … [More]

Better link - plays whole hour-long talk.

Hmm. Expanding the business to a large and rich export market...? Violent lightning storms hitting EWTN TV chapel during homily last week? Just co-incidence? Eventually we will all learn.

May I also point out a video I produced for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada, as distinct from Vancouver, Washington, U.S.A. to the south). Producer Nancy Ross of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries in Chicago originally commissioned me through the Archdiocese to shoot Fr. Barron's talk, titled "The YouTube Heresies."

Argumentation de bander les yeux

Ce «péché de Sodome et Gomorrhe est contre la vertu d'hospitalité" argument par l'absence n'est pas valide, et a été réfutée tant de fois dans de nombreux endroits et par tant de gens, je suis surpris que vous n'avez pas vu au moins un des ces réfutations très thomiste.

Uważam, że to czas dla nas, aby dowiedzieć się jak skutecznie, z szacunkiem zgłosić te rzeczy w sposób, który będzie skuteczny z Kurii Rzymskiej, a nie tylko wyrażania naszej oburzenie.

Cardinal.. says.. Catholic.. Church.. Must.. rethink.. approach.. etc.

These words diagram the "thrust" of the article I believe.

Substance: what makes this Cardinal's suggestion that the Church allow a second sacramental marriage, valid?

I believe the suggestion, as it appears it's reported here, is not valid because marriage is understood in Catholic teaching as being able to validly happen only once, except in the case of death of a spouse. If a marriage tribunal finds a defect in matter, … [More]

Very sweet, thank you.

Where did this happen?

I think there is a powerful lesson that the Church can teach the world here. This temporal crisis can be resolved easily by the laity. All we need to do is each send a little money -- say, as much as one of our typical coffee-shop purchases -- on a single Sunday, and that's the end of the Vatican's financial deficit.

This would require a small contribution from each, en masse, of course.

If is possible we can solve the financial problem of the Vatican in such a painless and expedient way, … [More]

Je crois que ce poste de fr. John Zühlsdorf sera plus instructif, dans ce cas - surtout si chaque patriote commenter ici, prend ces mêmes actions, exactement de la même manière. Je crois que le Père "Z" parle très bien français, au cas où vous souhaitez prendre contact avec lui. Cependant, peu probable, car il a beaucoup écrit et plus précisément sur ce sujet, d'une position d'avoir travaillé dans la curie à Rome depuis quelques années.

J'espère que cette traduction de Google est pas inutile:
