Headlines Pope Francis Will Not Appoint Women as Cardinals By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | November 7, 2013 A senior Vatican spokesman has denied rumors that Pope Francis may appoint two women as cardinals at the upcoming February conclave. Theologically and theoretically, it is possible," Fr. Lombardi said. "Being a cardinal is one of those roles in the church for which, theoretically, you do not have to be ordained but to move from there to suggesting the pope will name women cardinals for the next consistory is not remotely realistic."  Shopping for a Church? Give Me that Old Time Religion, the Catholic Church By Deacon Keith Fournier | November 8, 2013 We do not make the Church in our image, the Church re-makes us into Christ's Image through the grace which is mediated through the Sacraments, revealed in His Word and experienced in our ecclesial life together. This is heart of the ecclesiology so evident in the earliest Christian literature; a view of the Church which is dramatically different than the notion revealed in that interview and in that book.

Vatican Extraordinary Synod on the Family Will Reaffirm Church Teaching on Marriage and the Family By Deacon Keith Fournier | November 7, 2013 As Archbishop Bruno Forte explained, "addressing the challenges of contemporary family life "is not, therefore, a matter of debating doctrinal questions, which have in any case been clarified by the Magisterium recently . the invitation deriving from this for all the Church is to listen to the problems and expectations of many families today, manifesting her closeness and credibly proposing God\'s mercy and the beauty of responding to His call".

TUESDAY HOMILY: The Blessing of Dining in the Kingdom By Fr. Roger J. Landry | November 5, 2013 The New Evangelization is the effort to re-propose the Gospel to those who have in some degree heard the Christian message but have distanced themselves from the Christian life. We're sent out to invite them anew to the banquet God the Father is throwing for his Son here on earth and in heaven. He wants his banquet hall to be filled. Some people don't accept the greatest invitation ever, or as Jesus says at the end of the parable, those who are invited don't end up tasting the dinner. They don't grasp how blessed it is to dine in the Kingdom of God. But others do. The man throwing the banquet sent out his servants to bring in the poor, crippled, the blind and lame, and then sent them out again to the highways and hedgerows to invite yet others so that his hall would be filled.

Someday I will write a book but until then here are my thoughts. I love Catholicism for The Religious Sense - the love of truth, beauty and good. It is open to all of reality. I love how the Catholic Faith impacts culture, i.e. literature, art, poetry, theater, music, politics, economics, international relations/foreign affairs, etc. Catholicism asks the hard questions. It doesn't shy away from public discourse or talking about the common good. Continue Reading...

(Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh) Continue Reading... MONDAY HOMILY: Not Just Serving, But Loving the Poor By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds | November 4, 2013 Service to the poor is not simply a question of providing material comfort, but of forging personal bonds with them, of coming to know them and understand them, and giving them to opportunity to know us. In short, it is an encouragement to form authentic bonds of Christian community. Continue Reading...
