Here’s a recently released kind of highlight reel from the soon to be released (Fall 2011) Catholicism project. It gets me pretty stoked, not only to see this Catholicism series, but to simply be Catholic. What a gift. Give it a watch, especially when you are needing to feel inspired:
A year ago I was asked to be one of the guest judges for “Incredible Priests, Incredible Stories” video and essay contest. This contest was to help celebrate this “Year for Priests” recognizing the many dedicated and hardworking priests around the globe.
This (video below) is a funny spoof on what a lot of Sunday morning “worship” services have become these days. If you’ve ever attended one of these “mega-churches” or a church with “fellowship” in the name, this will make you laugh.
Many Catholics are a bit unsure about their Church these days. The sex abuse scandal within the Church – which has dominated headlines for the past decade – has left them speechless. There is no defending child abuse. And facing the reality that such abuse is happening within the only remaining bastion of orthodox Christianity [...]
I think your average Catholic is more likely to be able to make a perfectly folded cross out of their palm branch than they are to be able to explain why they have a palm branch in the first place. The trick is getting the ends neatly criss-crossed and wrapped around the center and then [...]
Anyone who’s followed Fallible Blogma for awhile knows that I love Mother Teresa quotes. Here I’ve compiled seven of them (into seven simple steps) that help me every day. Try reading them daily (or weekly) to help keep priorities in order and life in proper perspective. No matter how many times I read them, I [...]
Archbishop Chaput speaks and answers questions at Houston Baptist University. What a great light in the Church. It’s a bit long, but totally worth your time. And very good whether you are Catholic, Baptist or anything else.
Blaise Pascal was a scientific genius. He was pretty smart about other stuff, too. “Reason’s last step is the recognition that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond it.” – Blaise Pascal
A friend of mine (Yong Oh of Shepherd’s Cafe) shared this wonderful Lenten letter from Fr. Agustino, CFR and I wanted to share it here. Ash Wednesday 2010 Peace and blessings. I pray that all are well. Please forgive the timing of the email, but I can’t help but feel the Lord putting something on [...]
I wasn’t able to attend the March for Life in DC this year. I was able to attend the March here in Dallas though – which was great. We posted some pictures and videos we put together from it here. Two of my favorite groups of people, however, did get to attend the March for [...]
Have you ever heard about the plot to “X” Christ out of Christmas? And so the secular celebraters of this holy-day (holiday) decided they were going to start using “Xmas” instead of Christmas? Well, it’s not true. We do have lots of people who celebrate Christmas without the “Christ” part. We also have lots of [...]
