Jimmy Akin argues that P.Z. Myers must be fired for multiple reasons. He makes a good case especially in regards the universities’ code of conduct.
I do wonder if a Catholic was the one to obtain a host for him whether they fall under Canon 1367 or if this canon pertains to only the person who directly carries out the sacrilege and not anyone who intentionally helped it to happen.
St.
Louis Catholic gave a heads up to this news earlier today and
now has the story.
The St. Louis Archdiocese filed suit
today against the St. Stanislaus Kostka church in an attempt to regain
control of the former Polish parish.
Six parishioners, including three recent board members, joined the
archdiocese in the suit. They are asking a St. Louis judge to void any
changes to the St. Stanislaus’ bylaws since 2001 and give the
archbishop the authority to appoint a pastor and board there.
Last month, the St. Stanislaus board voted 4-3 to dissolve itself and
allow parishioners to elect a new board at its annual meeting in
August. Eight St. Stanislaus board members had been declared
excommunicated by Archbishop Raymond Burke.
According to the archdiocese, the three board members who lost that
vote – Bernice Krauze, Stanley Rozanski, and Robert Zabielski – were
secretly reconciled with the Roman Catholic church last month in a
meeting with Burke before Pope Benedict XVI re-assigned him to a new
position at the Vatican.
Since one board member had previously
reconciled with the Church that now makes four to do so since they wre
excommunicated. This is surely the true end of an
excommunication anyway – the Church’s version of tough love.
The group says the women who are ordained remain loyal members of the church and will act as priests whether they are excommunicated or not.
Nancy C. Brown posts a copy of the letter Dale Ahlquist wrote to the New Yorker after a recent article tried to call G.K. and anti-Semite and that his fans should not defend against this charge.
BOSTON–When he was playing professional
soccer in Chile, Chase Hilgenbrinck would seek comfort in the churches
to satisfy his spiritual needs and remind him of childhood Sundays
spent at Holy Trinity in his hometown of Bloomington, Ill.
Even after moving back to the United States last Christmas to play
Major League Soccer–a dream of his, but just one of them–Hilgenbrinck
felt the pull of his religion.
“I felt called to something greater,” Hilgenbrinck said. “At one time I
thought that call might be professional soccer. In the past few years,
I found my soul is hungry for something else.
“I discerned, through prayer, that it was calling me to the Catholic
Church. I do not want this call to pass me by.”
Hilgenbrinck accepted the calling on Monday when he left the New
England Revolution and retired from professional soccer to enter a
seminary, where he will spend the next six years studying theology and
philosophy so he can be ordained as a Roman Catholic priest.
“It’s not that I’m ready to leave soccer. I still have a great passion
for the game,” he said in a telephone interview. “I wouldn’t leave the
game for just any other job. I’m moving on for the Lord. I want to do
the will of the Lord, I want to do what he wants for me, not what I
want to do for myself.”
Previously Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said. “I am
not ruling out that the Vatican could in the future have a soccer team
of great value able to compete with (Italian top Serie A league teams)
Roma, Inter, Genoa and Sampdoria,” Maybe they are recruiting
ringers now?
LAKELAND, Fla. – Todd Bentley believes God acts through him to cure cancer, heal the deaf and raise the dead.
So do hundreds of thousands of people who have visited his raucous revival meeting, now in its third month and broadcast nightly from a huge tent in the middle of Florida.
The 32-year-old Canadian, tattooed to the fingers and neck, puts a palm to the forehead of the sick, desperate and faithful. Bentley yells “Bam!” they collapse and he proclaims them cured. Attendees dance in the aisles, shout to Heaven, laugh, shake violently and cry.
If Christians are going to follow the Food
Network as a lead than I least propose that we have:
The beatification of Louis and Zélie Martin will be held on Mission Sunday, October 19, in Lisieux.
John Allen Jr. reports
on the appointment
of Jesuit Fr. Luis Ladaria, a Spaniard, as secretary of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. He uses the term
he coined “affirmative orthodoxy” in regards to Ladaria.
Which he previously described as “I mean a tenacious defense
of the core elements of classic Catholic doctrine, but presented in a
relentlessly positive key. “
I found one of the nice little
testimonials on Fr. Ladaria stick out.
“He is also very human. He laughs a
lot,
and is very gracious with the women who clean our offices etc.”
And he smiles at children.
Though I am all for describing people working at the CDF in a
human way instead of as breeds of dogs.
Appointing a Jesuit as Secretary of the CDF since many of the
theologians investigated come from the same order. OK
gratuitous Jesuit swipe and Fr. Ladaria certainly looks like another
very good appointment by the Pope.
