The Catholic Review carries an article by Patricia Zapor of the Catholic News Service concerning the "low key" role Bishops have played regarding Senator Joseph Biden . Bishop W.

Last week, H.E. Archbishop Edwin O'Brien posted a column in " Thoughts on Our Church " entitled "Shall We Dance ." One poignant segment stated: Most in our culture, including Catholics, see laws as threatening their freedom, limiting rightful options, interfering with their privacy. No dancing in the street here! Our theology, on the other hand, sees man wounded by sin and in need of salvation. Divine help comes to us in Christ through the law that guides us and the grace that sustains us. This week, Archbishop O'Brien, after citing the previous column on the role that law plays in our lives, discusses Humanae Vitae and its implications for today in a column entitled, "Work Ardently and Incessantly ." He writes, And there is more. The dissent which followed Humanae Vitae has itself spawned a generation of Catholic thinkers and theologians who have claimed that not only was the Church wrong about the Pill, it is wrong about sterilization, wro...

I must confess that I have watched almost none of the Olympics. It is not a political statement in any way; it is totally a matter of time management with Fall teaching now in full swing. Mr. Samuel Wanjiru just won the first marathon for the Kenyans ever in Olympic history . It was incredibly moving to see Mr. Wanjiru drop to his knees at the finish, bow in prayer and then to make the Sign of the Cross. That is a moment indelibly etched in my memory. Hearty congratulations to Kenya and to Mr. Wanjiru and his Christ-like witness!

In response to a comment by Gil, I have added Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Richmond, VA to the right menu . Saint Joseph's has Low Mass each Sunday at 8:30 AM and High Mass at 11:00 . I tip my hat to Gil for the tip!

This was posted this week, but it bears to be seen again. H.E. Archbishop Charles Chaput has written a book entitled " Render Unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Beliefs in Political Life " which can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com. He submitted this essay to First Things this past week . Here is a portion of it: Obviously, we have other important issues facing us this fall: the economy, the war in Iraq, immigration justice. But we can’t build a healthy society while ignoring the routine and very profitable legalized homicide that goes on every day against America’s unborn children. The right to life is foundational . Every other right depends on it. Efforts to reduce abortions, or to create alternatives to abortion, or to foster an environment where more women will choose to keep their unborn child, can have great merit— but not if they serve to cover over or distract from the brutality and fundamental injustice of abortion itself . We should remember ...

Update August 29th: The proper URL for Saint Alphonsus is now working again. I have changed it back to the original URL. I just discovered this evening that Saint Alphonsus Church in Baltimore must have failed to renew its domain name or is in the process of moving to a new server. The link that was present for so long now takes one to a site that advertises homes. As a result, I have gone into the FAQs, Visitors Ask About the TLM, etc. and the link in the right margin and changed the URL with this link . This link is from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and has all the information necessary. Many are checking regularly about St. Bartholomew's in Manchester, MD. The TLM was a great success, but it appears that it will be an occasional event. I have heard nothing further on this and know that the Pastor is a member of the Faculty at Mt. St. Mary's. To say he is busy is an understatement. Many are also checking on the TLM that was being held on a fairly regular basis at S...

Carl Olson posts a link to an article by Bishop Robert Vasa of the Diocese of Baker, OR which H.E. posted in The Catholic Sentinel . Here is a part of Bishop Vasa's article: ...It is certainly important that we not become excessively consumed or obsessed by the presence and activity of the evil one but it is also most important that we not be oblivious to his presence or activity, for it is real. All one needs to do is look at the state of moral confusion which reigns in our present society. The killing of the sick or elderly because they want it is being promoted as some kind of right or good but this can be so only in the topsy-turvy world of Screwtape and Wormwood. When taking the life of an innocent pre-born child is seen as right and a right and when the preservation of precisely that right becomes the object of a political campaign, I suspect the letter from Screwtape to the demon master of that campaign would be filled with praise. When a whole society begins to questi...

William Saunders makes a plea for us all to read (or to re-read) Paradise Lost . If my words don’t conjure it up for you, try Milton’s instead. You don’t have to rely on finding the time and energy and resolve dutifully to read a “forbidding” text. No; listen to it instead. Hear the words ring, hear the clang of battle, the cries of the vanquished. Enter, almost as a participant, a grand saga that lifts you out of the humdrum, the daily. Do yourself a favor before this summer comes to an end. If you don’t want to try Paradise Lost, then try the Aeneid. If not that, then how about the Iliad, or the Divine Comedy? Great intellectual and spiritual stimulation and wonderful adventures await you. It’s not too late for those of us who have graduated from high school into the work-a-day world. Try one of these great books on tape. Excellent advice !

This has been a recurrent "search" and I have not been able to get a handle on what people wish to learn. It finally occurred to me that some souls might be asking if the Catholic Mass is translated into Arabic. I am indebted to this website edited by Abouna Firas Boutros Khoury Diab . There is a great deal of information here including the Mass in Arabic , the Gospel of the day in Arabic (sent by email or appearing in Arabic text), a link to Vatican Radio broadcast in Arabic , and sundry other links collected here . Please browse through this website. There are many other items to check into including Children's Bibles in Arabic .

Fr. John Trigilio, President of the Convocation of Catholic Clergy, posts this article from CNA on his blog, The Black Biretta . Archbishop Burke is now Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura. Please read this important article. Here is a sample: To illustrate his point, he referred to “public officials who, with knowledge and consent, uphold actions that are against the Divine and Eternal moral law. For example, if they support abortion, which entails the taking of innocent and defenseless human lives. A person who commits sin in this way should be publicly admonished in such a way as to not receive Communion until he or she has reformed his life,” the archbishop said. “If a person who has been admonished persists in public mortal sin and attempts to receive Communion, the minister of the Eucharist has the obligation to deny it to him. Why? Above all, for the salvation of that person, preventing him from committing a sacrilege,” he added.

The Catholic website "The Catholic Thing" continues to provide a daily venue for thought and reflection by superb writers. Today, Fr. James Schall begins his article in this fashion : In the Catholic press, we find three recurring notions, though seldom considered together and distinguished. They are persecution, evangelization, and dialogue. The Church is of its nature “missionary.” That is, the “Go forth and teach all nations” is not just a pious exhortation. Looking at the world with eyes of cold realism, however, we can recognize that by far the greater part of the world, after two millennia, remains to be evangelized and converted by missionary activity. Evidently, tremendous obstacles stand in the way of peacefully and calmly presenting the case for Catholicism. However, we are supposed to “evangelize,” not “proselytize.” This latter word does not have a bad name in the dictionary. But it has become currently a big political sin. It implies using dubious methods to ac...

However, this site, the Traditional Latin Rite Missal Project (also found in the right margin) is the ongoing apostolate of one person who intends to put the entire Missal online. There is another site which is quite beautiful and maintained daily by a Catholic Deacon. It is the Tradi...

This is a fascinating interview of Michael Novak by Robert Royal . Here is just one snippet: MN: Years ago, Irving Kristol wrote in Commentary that secularism as a philosophy is dead, even though its after-effects still advance through our major institutions. It is too shallow to deal with human tragedy, for it has essentially posited that we humans are meaningless creatures, without purpose, a result of chance. Most people cannot put up with the hardships of life if their struggle is meaningless and without nobility. Secularism, therefore, cannot sustain a civilization. More recently, the German philosopher and public atheist Jurgen Habermas wrote that after September 11, 2001, he felt for the first time that secularists are a small island in a turbulent sea of religion. Marvelous interview !
