Maybe We Should Follow His Example By Deacon Keith A Fournier | September 10, 2014 What jumped off the page as I proclaimed the Gospel is the importance and priority of prayer. Before Jesus made this historic and eternal decision he spent the entire night in prayer. I know that in His Sacred humanity he shows us the pattern for our own lives. So, I asked myself, "How many nights have I spent in prayer making the important decisions of my life?" I will not embarrass myself further by putting the answer in writing. Continue Reading... SOLVED AT LAST: DNA testing nails Polish emigre as JACK THE RIPPER! By Catholic Online - (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | September 8, 2014 London's most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper or "Springheel Jack" slashed and killed five prostitutes in the Whitechapel district in the 1880s. Never caught, countless theories sprung up over his identity through the 100-plus years. Some postulations linked him to British loyalty or revealed him as "Alice in Wonderland" author Lewis Carroll. Recent DNA analysis has found that the dreaded Ripper, who frustrated detectives for decades was in fact, a young Jewish Polish immigrant who was deemed too mad to care for himself.

Hudson | September 9, 2014 Cardinal Dolan has made a prudential judgment which can be legitimately and respectfully criticized by Catholics, whether lay or religious. In other words, his decision to remain Grand Marshall of the St. Patrick's Day Parade cannot be construed as a "teaching" based upon the Church's settled issues of faith and morals, which it is his job as a bishop to uphold. Rather, Cardinal Dolan lent his own "moral authority" to support a decision by the parade's overseers to admit a LGBT activist group - with explicit positions contrary to the Church - into an event bearing the name of a Catholic saint, the very name that is carved into the stone of his own Cathedral. That decision, in my view, was a mistake. Continue Reading...

We Do Not Shop for a Church, the Church is a Gift By Deacon Keith A Fournier | September 8, 2014 I understand that some people have been dissatisfied with their experiences of what is presented as Church in some circles. That was clear in a program that I listened to on my way home from Washington,DC. However, the very notion that we can shop for a church like we shop for consumer goods misses the very nature of the Church and reveals a serious challenge facing Christianity in this Third Millennium. It also misses the existential purpose of human life. It reduces our Divine call and human vocation - to be in communion with God- which is the heart of the Christian faith - to one more consumer selection among many in a growing smorgasbord of modern materialist/consumerist lifestyles.
