Headlines Fr. Dwight Longenecker: Valentine's Day - Vile or Virtuous? By Fr Dwight Longenecker | February 14, 2014 We should share the real value of Valentine's Day and human love with our children not only on February 14, but throughout the year. Our homes should be havens of genuine joy, spirit filled with forgiveness, acceptance and love. Things might be bad in our society and it is easy to think that one person can not make a change, but if we do nothing, things get worse. In The Lord of the Rings the hobbit Frodo is faced with a threat to the whole world. He doubts that he can do anything. Gandalf the good wizard replies, "Even the smallest person can make a difference. It is up to us to do what we can with the time we have been given." Continue Reading... It Was Said of Jesus, He Has Done All Things Well. Do We? Reflecting on Human Work By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 14, 2014 Jesus did all things well. Do We? How do we view our daily work? How do we understand our own labor in the light of what the Catholic Church proclaims about the dignity of all human work, no matter what kind, because it is done by human persons created in the Image and Likeness of God. It is time to examine human work in the light of the Gospel.Let us ask the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. Let us ask for the grace we need to begin to live this gospel or good news of work in the way in which we engage in all human labor. We are invited to receive work as a gift and invitation to participate in God's loving, creative and redemptive work. Christians need to bear witness to its value just as we bear witness to the inherent value and dignity of every human worker. We are also called to do it well. Continue Reading...

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 14, 2014 Valentine's Day is supposed to be the feast day of St. Valentine, the Roman saint who gave his life for his steadfastness in faith. Despite the sacrifice by the early Catholic cleric, the modern interpretation of the holiday has devolved into a secular orgy of excess and lust. Continue Reading... New theory from scientists now say that Turin Shroud could be REAL By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 13, 2014 Carbon dating tests conducted in 1988 on the Shroud of Turin suggested the cloth was only 728 years old, and therefore the faint apparition of a crucified man - believed to be Jesus Christ, was likely to be a forgery. Now, scientists say an earthquake back in 33 A.D. may have confused carbon dating techniques - and the released radiation could be responsible for the image on the cloth. Continue Reading... British body modification artist spends thousands to transform - into THE DEVIL By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 13, 2014 Spending thousands of dollars to get his tongue forked, his teeth turned into razor-sharp fangs and horns that poke from his forehead, 43-year-old Diablo Delenfer from Kent has spent thousands of dollars, or £10,000 to transform him into a living, breathing minion from hell.

Hudson | February 13, 2014 I removed my original article on Comstock from Catholic Online in order to give myself time to consider her "veto session" explanation. Having considered it, I find it not only inadequate but a sad reminder of the kind of explanation used by Rep. Bart Stupak when he backed down on his opposition to abortion funding in the health care bill.I've been told, publicly and privately, that I'm making it easier for a Democrat to win the 10th Congressional District, that Comstock is "electable," and so forth. As a Catholic commentator on politics, my obligation is to press hard on precisely these kinds of inconsistencies in the records and platforms of Catholic politicians. Continue Reading... Are you a good Samaritan? Here's a simple test By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 12, 2014 How many people really care? Are you a caring person? Pope Francis spoke last year about the Good Samaritan as a person who cared. We'd all like to think we fit into this category, but how many of us combine 'Prayer and Action' to truly fill the role the proverbial role? Continue Reading... The Mass as Theophany: Pope Francis Speaks on the Beauty of the Liturgy By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 12, 2014 Among the critical assessments of the young papacy of Francis is one which claims that he is some sort of liturgical minimalist. In its more judgmental versions, it comes close to implying that he may not does not fully appreciate the beauty of the Liturgy. It is sometimes accompanied by an effort to contrast his style of presiding at Holy Mass with his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as some sort of proof of the claim.I not only reject it, it offends me. Pope Francis celebrates the Liturgy with the simplicity which characterizes his demeanor and points to his charism. He is a man of deep communion with the Lord and his celebration of the Liturgy is beautiful. Continue Reading...
