    what's your favorite movie at Easter?

    I satisfied my fix for Jesus Christ Superstar on Netflix. from the article; One lasting problem with this movie. as with the original play, is a fairly major omission: the resurrection.

    Warren Jeffers issues new prophecy from prison

    I can't imagine why these kids, if true, want to go back. Last year, experts say Jeffs began to release new revelations, or prophecies, which ABC News has obtained, including one last June that calls for children of ex-members to come back into the fold, and another in August calling for...

    'Let us continue our catechesis on the witnesses of apostolic zeal.' Pope Francis

    As a Catholic I have not always recognized nor appreciated the great gift of those who take upon themselves the problems of the world, the difficulties, the ailments, many things, and they pray for them. It is what Jesus did: they take upon themselves the problems of the world, the...

    Francis stirs it up once again

    I can hear the opposition now, 'will he ever stop, I no longer recognize 'my' church. We don't even have women deacons yet, do we? Yet he remains adamant there can be no ordination to the priesthood. Ever since the Second Vatican Council, popes have summoned the world’s bishops to Rome for a...

    “The Pope’s Exorcist”

    I've always enjoyed these types of movies, for entertainment purposes. It seems all of such films depend on the Catholic Church to get the demon. Although I have seen the role of exorcist in one film who was a Jewish rabbi. The Jesuit priest recalls sitting at a restaurant sipping wine and...

    Oscar nominee, 'Women Talking'

    This is the first I have heard of this movie, but it sounds rather compelling. The Oscar-nominated film “Women Talking” begins in a revelation of horror: The girls and women of a rural Mennonite community are being systematically drugged and raped in the night. The men of the community insist...

    International Holocaust Remembrance Day Jan 27

    In today's world there seems to be continued Holocaust deniers, and a rising anti-Semitism. I for one do not understand how one could possibly take that position. Is it the case that in order to justify anti-Semitism one must falsify history? International Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed...

    Book published posthumously according to Benedict XVI's wishes

    In the book Benedict defends priestly celibacy which is a discipline, tradition, not a doctrine and is at the discretion of the pope. For me, I oppose mandatory celibacy as a criterion for priesthood, but I do understand all the complexities related to a change of policy. In this article...

    Michael Moore on restoring ‘The Betrothed’ to its rightful place in world literature

    To clarify, I am not familiar enough with this work to offer any meaningful comment, but did find it interesting none the less. Michael F. Moore: I promessi sposi (the original Italian title of The Betrothed) is a beautiful, sweeping novel that every Italian has read. While I’ve translated...
