Beautiful pictures but strange music

Glad to see this, so encouraging

I wrote a blog post on this video here: http://blog.adw.org/2013/04/an-allegory-of-the-truth-and-an-important-warning-in-a-creative-video/

In this video short, a woman resists the truth and the order it offers. The Truth is allegorized by a little Lutin. Her resistance is at first mildly punished, then more firmly. But she hardens herself against the truth and "kills" it. The result is … [More]

An excellent post. As Vorris points out, the wheels really came off when we decoupled sexual union from Child-bearing through contraception, as Vorris puts it, when we said "Sex and procreation have no necessary connection." Once that was done and became the thinking, it isn't far to saying anyone can have sex with anyone. And that contraceptive mentality is at the heart of all this mess. In this sense, it can be rightly argued, as St. Paul does in Romans 1, that it is not merely that God will … [More]

So sad to see catholics savaging eachother. Especially when the enemy without is so strong. Nevertheless we continue to savage fellow Catholics. The devil sits back, enjoys, and orders another demon to peal him a grape.

Beautiful.

Eboni Funderburk describes the "Spirit of lateness" for Church goers

Musically magnificent. I do question having little girls get all dolled up and made up to look like grown women. But she has magnificent talent

Well analyzed. I think the pollsters in the media oversample Dems and thus skew left.

Te numbers are very alarming and i have surely seen the drastic declines in my 51 years too. That said, and while I agree that clear articulation of the faith is essential, something which I ttry to do, i wonder if Mr. V has a comprehensive plan. I think it is easy for all of us to criticize and speak of the problem but I wonder really if any of us know what to do? In my parish we go door to door, in this diocese there are five latin mass locations, most of our priests, especially the younger … [More]

Good summary here. Is also a mazing to see how the Protestants who remain in their declining communities are merely doubling down on their liberal deconstructionist notions of biblical and traditional morality. The mainline Protestants are just getting more and more extreme

I might also add that the bishop has good points and simply and publicly dismissing them in a public way as Mr. v does shows a lack of docility. If Mr. V. Where to add to these points or seek to clarify older practices the Bishop critiques, that might be better. Frankly praying the rosary during the mass, and a whispered canon where things worth correcting, his sainted Grandfathers piety notwithstanding. Even as early as the 1940s there was an attempt to get the faithful to use missals and pray … [More]

Mr Vorris rightly notes that the Church has her troubles. Yet I just wish he wasnt so simplistic. For example he notes that the sacred liturgy is ONLY about the worship of God. But orthodoxy avoids the use of such words when it comes to the sacred mysteries. God centered yes, but not only aout God. Otherwise, why direct any words such as the Scriptures to the people at all. Christ worships the Father, and we with him, but Christ the high priest, also ministers to his people. Again, orthodoxy … [More]

Cool!

THanks for this. It inspired a blog post that I wrote for the the Blog of the Archdiosese of Washington (USA). Here: http://blog.adw.org/2010/01/the-fifth-and-sixth-marks-of-the-church/

Mark Thiessen whom you feature here is a thoughtful and practicing Catholic who in his book Courting Disaster presents the teaching of the Catechsim of the Catholic Church carefully and completely. Your video suggests otherwise and I think the record needs to be corrected here.

UPDATE: In the video above I presented the theory of Dr. Scott Hahn et al in reference to the expression ti emoi kai soi. In discussions with some on my blog ( http://blog.adw.org/2010/01/the-wedding-at-cana-does-jesus-rebuke-his-mother/) especially Bain (see comments) I am compelled to doubt this explanation. I guess the best we can do with understanding this interaction is that something of a cultural or interpersonal nature eludes us. Mary does seems to act as if Jesus answered affirmatively … [More]

I am sure the Traditional orders of nuns here in the USA have fully complied. It iis only the liberalized orders which have failed to comply. The National Catholic Reporter is called by most faithful catholics the "National Catholic Distorter"
