While there I came down with a severe case of Anglophilia from reading too much C.S.Lewis and Tolkien and T.S.Eliot. I went to study theology at Oxford, was ordained as an Anglican priest and stayed in England for twenty five years. After ten years wearing a dog collar I was received into the Catholic Church. I spent ten years as a layman writing articles and books no one reads. Then the call came to return to the United States. In December 2006 I was ordained as a Catholic priest. I am now chaplain at St Joseph's Catholic School in Greenville, South Carolina, and I am on the staff of St Mary's Greenville.</dd></dl><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono';font-size:11px;"><br /><br /><script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/StandingOnMyHead?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript"></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/StandingOnMyHead"></a><br />Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript><br /></span></div></div>catholicblogdirectoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09172600571136417562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814369848645545646.post-67416684757868617892008-10-02T21:28:00.001+08:002008-10-09T21:41:08.916+08:00Aggie Catholics - aka "Mary's Aggies"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.aggiecatholic.org/pictures/CD10%20-Gospel%20reading.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.aggiecatholic.org/pictures/CD10%20-Gospel%20reading.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This is St. Mary's Catholic Center's (at Texas A&M) pastoral team's blog.

The same words are repeated throughout Advent in responsories of the Divine Office, partly in the Introit of the Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary (<span style="font-style: italic;">S.

I began my day by celebrating mass at the Cathedral Rectory Chapel at 7:30 this morning and had a productive meeting with the Presbyteral Council from 10:30 until 2:00 this afternoon. The Council consists of priests who are elected by their peers and we regularly meet to discuss Archdiocesan matters. Their input greatly serves in assisting me as Archbishop and I�m always grateful for their time. In addition to several other meetings, I read through my mail and just had enough time to pack my bag.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for visiting my blog. This is my first experience writing a blog, as it�s also a new venture for the Archdiocese.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Communicating with, supporting and serving Catholics of the Archdiocese at each of our Parishes are our top priorities. This blog is our newest effort to speak directly with you, as I�m looking forward to sharing my Rome experiences with everyone.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">As I return to the Eternal City, only a short time since the Consistory, someone asked me this week, what are my favorite memories from that time in March. My fondest memories are from being with my family during that joyous occasion. Looking back, I was also so happy � and surprised � with having over 500 people with us from Boston in Rome.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The honor that the Holy Father bestowed upon me, is an honor that I share with you and all of Boston. We are united as Catholics and I hope we can share together my experiences in Rome through this blog.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Well, shortly we will be leaving my office at the Cathedral to go to Logan Airport. I will be flying to Rome tonight, accompanied by Fr. Brian Bachand, who loyally serves as Secretary to the Cardinal.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">While I am not looking forward to the many many hours of travel that we are facing, I am looking forward to the opportunity to quietly read, prepare for Rome and hopefully catch a few winks of sleep. Our itinerary says that we will be flying for almost nine hours total and shortly after our arrival at the Vatican we will be traveling immediately to San Giovanni Rotondo, where Padre Pio�s Shrine is located. I�ve heard so much about San Giovanni Rotondo and I am so excited to finally visit.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">I think I�m taking more books than I can possibly read - my carry-on bag will be bursting at the seams�.hopefully security lets me through the gates.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Please pray for me on this important trip and join me in praying for our Archdiocese.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Thank you again for visiting my blog.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The next time I write to you, it will be from Rome. Before I go, I want to share with you a beautiful slideshow created by photographer George Martell. It captures many of the joyous moments from the Consistory events.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Please enjoy:</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://georgemartell.com/consistoryslideshow/" target="_blank">http://georgemartell.com/consistoryslideshow/</a></p> <p>God bless,</p> <p>Cardinal Se�n</p></blockquote><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono';font-size:11px;"><script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CardinalSensBlog?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript"></script><noscript></noscript></span></p><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CardinalSensBlog"></a><br />Powered by FeedBurner</p><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p></p><blockquote></blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><a href="'http://www.mylot.com/frjessie/8111'">myLot User Profile</a></span><br /><p></p><p></p></div></div>catholicblogdirectoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09172600571136417562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814369848645545646.post-85690204354716360042008-09-25T16:44:00.004+08:002008-09-25T16:52:24.967+08:00Capuchin Retreat Center<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.capuchinretreatlipa.multiply.com/logo/5"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://images.capuchinretreatlipa.multiply.com/logo/5" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Capuchin Retreat Center provides guests with a time and place of serenity and quiet withdrawal from the busy noise of everyday life.

In order to give the context, here is a quotation:<br /></p><p></p> <blockquote> <p>The last event of this year on which I wish to reflect here is the celebration of the conclusion of the <a href="http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/index.htm">Second Vatican Council </a>40 years ago. This memory prompts the question: What has been the result of the Council? Was it well received? What, in the acceptance of the Council, was good and what was inadequate or mistaken? What still remains to be done? No one can deny that in vast areas of the Church the implementation of the Council has been somewhat difficult, even without wishing to apply to what occurred in these years the description that St Basil, the great Doctor of the Church, made of the Church's situation after the Council of Nicea: he compares her situation to a naval battle in the darkness of the storm, saying among other things: "The raucous shouting of those who through disagreement rise up against one another, the incomprehensible chatter, the confused din of uninterrupted clamouring, has now filled almost the whole of the Church, falsifying through excess or failure the right doctrine of the faith..." (<i>De Spiritu Sancto, </i>XXX, 77; <i>PG</i> 32, 213 A; SCh 17 ff., p. 524). </p> <p>We do not want to apply precisely this dramatic description to the situation of the post-conciliar period, yet something from all that occurred is nevertheless reflected in it. The question arises: Why has the implementation of the Council, in large parts of the Church, thus far been so difficult? </p> <p>Well, it all depends on the correct interpretation of the Council or - as we would say today - on its proper hermeneutics, the correct key to its interpretation and application. The problems in its implementation arose from the fact that two contrary hermeneutics came face to face and quarrelled with each other. One caused confusion, the other, silently but more and more visibly, bore and is bearing fruit. </p> <p>On the one hand, there is an interpretation that I would call "a hermeneutic of discontinuity and rupture"; it has frequently availed itself of the sympathies of the mass media, and also one trend of modern theology. On the other, there is the "hermeneutic of reform", of renewal in the continuity of the one subject-Church which the Lord has given to us. She is a subject which increases in time and develops, yet always remaining the same, the one subject of the journeying People of God. </p> <p>The hermeneutic of discontinuity risks ending in a split between the pre-conciliar Church and the post-conciliar Church. It asserts that the texts of the Council as such do not yet express the true spirit of the Council. It claims that they are the result of compromises in which, to reach unanimity, it was found necessary to keep and reconfirm many old things that are now pointless. However, the true spirit of the Council is not to be found in these compromises but instead in the impulses toward the new that are contained in the texts. </p> <p>These innovations alone were supposed to represent the true spirit of the Council, and starting from and in conformity with them, it would be possible to move ahead. Precisely because the texts would only imperfectly reflect the true spirit of the Council and its newness, it would be necessary to go courageously beyond the texts and make room for the newness in which the Council's deepest intention would be expressed, even if it were still vague. </p> <p>In a word: it would be necessary not to follow the texts of the Council but its spirit. In this way, obviously, a vast margin was left open for the question on how this spirit should subsequently be defined and room was consequently made for every whim. </p> <p>The nature of a Council as such is therefore basically misunderstood. In this way, it is considered as a sort of constituent that eliminates an old constitution and creates a new one. However, the Constituent Assembly needs a mandator and then confirmation by the mandator, in other words, the people the constitution must serve. The Fathers had no such mandate and no one had ever given them one; nor could anyone have given them one because the essential constitution of the Church comes from the Lord and was given to us so that we might attain eternal life and, starting from this perspective, be able to illuminate life in time and time itself. </p> <p>Through the Sacrament they have received, Bishops are stewards of the Lord's gift. They are "stewards of the mysteries of God" (I Cor 4: 1); as such, they must be found to be "faithful" and "wise" (cf. Lk <st1:time hour="12" minute="41">12: 41</st1:time>-48). This requires them to administer the Lord's gift in the right way, so that it is not left concealed in some hiding place but bears fruit, and the Lord may end by saying to the administrator: "Since you were dependable in a small matter I will put you in charge of larger affairs" (cf. Mt 25: 14-30; Lk 19: 11-27). </p> <p>These Gospel parables express the dynamic of fidelity required in the Lord's service; and through them it becomes clear that, as in a Council, the dynamic and fidelity must converge. </p> <p>The hermeneutic of discontinuity is countered by the hermeneutic of reform, as it was presented first by Pope John XXIII in his Speech inaugurating the Council on <st1:date month="10" day="11" year="1962">11 October 1962</st1:date> and later by Pope Paul VI in his <a href="http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/speeches/1965/documents/hf_p-vi_spe_19651207_epilogo-concilio_en.html">Discourse for the Council's conclusion on 7 December 1965</a>. </p> <p>Here I shall cite only John XXIII's well-known words, which unequivocally express this hermeneutic when he says that the Council wishes "to transmit the doctrine, pure and integral, without any attenuation or distortion". And he continues: "Our duty is not only to guard this precious treasure, as if we were concerned only with antiquity, but to dedicate ourselves with an earnest will and without fear to that work which our era demands of us...". It is necessary that "adherence to all the teaching of the Church in its entirety and preciseness..." be presented in "faithful and perfect conformity to the authentic doctrine, which, however, should be studied and expounded through the methods of research and through the literary forms of modern thought. The substance of the ancient doctrine of the deposit of faith is one thing, and the way in which it is presented is another...", retaining the same meaning and message (<i>The Documents of Vatican II, </i>Walter M. Abbott, S.J., p. 715).</p></blockquote></div><br /><h3>Author: Fr Tim Finigan</h3> <p>Parish priest of <a href="http://www.rosary.freeuk.com/">Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen</a><br />Trustee of <a href="http://www.faith.org.uk/">The Faith Movement</a><br />Founder of the <a href="http://www.apgl.org.uk/">Association of Priests for the Gospel of Life</a><br />Visiting lecturer in Sacramental Theology at <a href="http://ds.dial.pipex.com/prod/dialspace/town/avenue/zp36/contents.shtml">St John's Seminary, Wonersh</a><br />Uncle to 10 nephews and 7 nieces, and great-uncle to 2 great nieces and a great nephew<br /></p> <h4>Favourite things</h4> <p> <i>Bible version</i> - Clementine Vulgate<br /><i>Spiritual Classic</i> - Introduction to the Devout Life<br /><i>Church Father</i> - St Hilary of Poitiers<br /><i>Theologian</i> - Blessed John Duns Scotus<br /><i>Period</i> - The Counter Reformation<br /><i>English Martyr</i> - St John Fisher<br /><i>Mass setting</i> - Lux et Origo<br /></p> <h4>Things I don't like very much at all and would really rather avoid wherever possible</h4> <p>The television<br />The Tablet<br />ICEL "translations"<br />The hermeneutic of discontinuity<br />New Labour<br />Creative liturgy<br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>... and people who listen to loud music through tiny earphones when they are on the tube so that you have a constant</i> zizz-zizz-za-ziz zizz <i> all the way from North Greenwich to Westminster, making it difficult to concentrate on the book that you are trying to read, and tempting you to the uncharitable thought that it will serve them bally-well right if they have to wear a hearing-aid before they are 30</i><br /></div> <p></p> <h2>Disclaimer (of sorts)</h2> <p style="text-align: justify;">The "Links" and "Blogroll" sections of the sidebar contain links to sites that the author has found interesting or useful and thinks may be interesting or useful to readers of this blog.

In extended Christian circles, it refers to the second coming. While we are not expecting the apocalypse in our lifetime, we figure we best be ready for it anyway. God has His way of bringing down the proud, and it reminds us to be humble. Kings and kingdoms fall, and one day each of us will be judged. "Lord, come quickly" should be every Christian's prayer. More specifically to our circle, the Catholic sees the Parousia at the moment of consecration when the bread and wine become the Body and the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus arrives everyday in the flesh. It is this sacramental view of life that teaches us how to see our culture.<br /></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Parousians are a community of friends who formed a Catholic philosophical and literary society, concerned primarily with discerning the culture with worldviews thoroughly informed by the Catholic faith, with revitalizing Catholic intellectual life without forfeiting obedience, and with carrying the New Evangelization into the academy. Our common foundation is a commitment to excellence in thoughtful inquiry and endeavor rooted in dynamic orthodoxy, characterized by loyalty to the Church, to her teaching, and to the Vicar of Christ, the Pope.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our primary methods include creating study circles that will delve deeply into issues of faith and culture, fostering a network of local groups and individuals who share in this vision, providing educational opportunities and practical experience for emerging Catholic thinkers, offering support for other thinkers considering the Catholic faith, and creatively using various media forms to evangelize intellectual life.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our emphasis includes resisting the tyranny of relativism; opening the eyes of our peers to a sacramental vision of life; shining a light on the rich intellectual tradition of Catholicism; recovering the sense of the sacred; developing a complete apologetic rooted in truth, beauty and goodness; uncovering the classics of Catholic spirituality; and promoting the teaching of the Holy Father.<br /></div></div><div><br /></div><script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ArrivalTheParousianWeblog?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript" ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ArrivalTheParousianWeblog"></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>catholicblogdirectoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09172600571136417562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814369848645545646.post-25336204435475629472008-09-16T14:18:00.002+08:002008-09-24T14:29:01.904+08:00phatcatholic apologericNicholas Hardesty<br />Location: Steubenville, Ohio, United States<br /><br /><div>A professional catechist and an amateur apologist with a passion for the Catholic Church and a desire to help others to know and love Her better.<p></p></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono'; font-size: 11px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EejJ?format=sigpro" type="text/javascript"></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/EejJ"></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript></span><br /></div>catholicblogdirectoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09172600571136417562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814369848645545646.post-68953831854684403512008-09-15T14:07:00.000+08:002008-09-24T14:16:55.377+08:00Canterbuty Tales<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.flickr.com/6/85820552_a8070ef482.jpg?v=0"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://static.flickr.com/6/85820552_a8070ef482.jpg?v=0" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2261/1639026497_cb68203f1a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2261/1639026497_cb68203f1a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a href="http://cantuar.blogspot.com/2007/09/about-taylor-marshall.html" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none;">Author: </span></a><a href="http://cantuar.blogspot.com/2007/09/about-taylor-marshall.html">Taylor Marshall</a>? <ul> </ul><div style="text-align: justify;">I am a <a href="http://cantuar.blogspot.com/2006/05/my-canterbury-trail-to-rome.html">convert to the Catholic Church and a former Episcopal priest</a>.

I was a content atheist and thought it was simply obvious that God did not exist. I thought that religion and reason were incompatible, and was baffled by why anyone would believe in God (I actually suspected that few people really did). After a few years in the Bible Belt, I became vocally anti-Christian. Imagine my surprise to find myself today, just a few years later, a practicing Catholic who loves her faith (my husband and I both entered the Church at Easter Vigil 2007).
