Headlines Keeping the Moral Law and Staying Human By Andrew M. Greenwell, Esq. | January 30, 2014 St. Peter of Damascus (ca. 675-ca. 749) wrote regarding the moral law of God: "We have the duty of keeping the commandments--or, rather, being kept by them." St. Peter realized that by keeping the natural moral law, we both keep a duty to God and keep ourselves. By disobeying the natural moral, we not only disobey God, but we also lose ourselves.

Stravinskas, Ph.D., S.T.D. | January 30, 2014 What is my advice to Catholic parents, teachers, administrators and clergy? Press the "pause" button. There is no need for us to jump on-board an untested program. Catholic educators have never been given to fads (which is, again, a reason for our on-going success). Let's see where and how the dust settles. My educated hunch is that we shall see that the project will die aborning; we shall be spared the expenditure of time and treasure, while we forged ahead with what we have known to be a winning product all along. "Faith, Knowledge, Service." Continue Reading... Gritty Gimme Shelter is a Brilliant, Life Affirming Film Which Must Be Seen By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 30, 2014 I did not know what to expect. I have long been convinced of the importance of people with sincere faith making films which are not dismissed as religious or labeled Christian and marginalized.  Pope Francis makes a special plea! Are Catholics deaf or will they listen? By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | January 27, 2014 Pope Francis continues to call for aid to the poor as the holiday season ends. The Holy Father has set a goal to eradicate global hunger by distributing food more equitably around the world and he has called on all faithful Catholics to help. It's a call that can't be answered by a single second collection at Mass. Continue Reading... Pope Francis Calls Catholics To Learn and Practice the Prayer of Praise By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 30, 2014 But, Father! This is for the Renewal in the Spirit folks, not for all Christians!' No: prayer of praise is a Christian prayer, for all of us. In the Mass, every day, when we sing the Holy, Holy, Holy ... This is a prayer of praise: we praise God for his greatness, because He is great. We say beautiful things to Him, because we happy for His greatness Continue Reading... Literacy and The Necessity of the Visual By Deal W Hudson | January 29, 2014 In a world where our minds and hearts are, on a daily basis, being shaped and informed by images, whether stills or moving, becoming visually literate is a goal we should all pursue and should certainly provide for our children. This will mean that we learn not only to understand the "grammar" of image representation but also the skills to create those representations. In other words, we all need to learn how to make a film. More on this later! Continue Reading... Was the Theft of the Blood Of Blessed John Paul the Act of a Satanic Group? By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 29, 2014 The relic was given to the church in May 2011 by Cardinal Stanislaw Dzuwisz, a close personal friend of Blessed John Paul and his former personal secretary. It was a piece of cloth from clothing of the late Pope, soaked in blood. Along with the theft of the reliquary, a cross was also stolen. Thieves broke in and stole the relic. The sanctuary they chose was the first one dedicated to Blessed John Paul II. He would say Mass in the chapel when he visited the mountains. The act has been called sacrilegious by the Vatican.

Grammy Awards Reveal Collapsing Culture and the Christian Mission in a Pre-Christian Nation By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 29, 2014 A popular music performer moved suggestively up and down on a broomstick while satanic images and hellfire surrounding her. Homosexuals and lesbians purported to be married- in an in your face act of defiance and rejection of the Natural Moral Law. Where did this all occur? In an ancient scene from a film depicting the internal moral corruption of the Old Rome? No, it all took place before anyone who simply wanted to watch the 56th annual Grammy Music awards on television Monday evening. Continue Reading... Waging War on Womanhood: Reject the Counterfeit Woman By Jennifer Hartline | January 30, 2014 There is indeed a war on women currently being waged in America, bloody as all hell. More accurately, it's a war on womanhood. But the warmongers are not conservative men, or priests or religious sisters, or the Catholic Church, or the Republicans. The aggressors are all those who have reduced the complexly beautiful, uniquely gifted, and dignified female human person to nothing but a vagina. Continue Reading...
