Post CNMC Blues Inspire Action

Dealing with the after-retreat let down...

I’m home after four days of travel to this year’s wonderful Catholic New Media Conference and firmly ensconced behind the computer in my home office, trying to sort through and onslaught of email, but more importantly an onslaught of emotions.

After having attended four years of CNMCs, I recognize the symptoms. Sleep deprivation, a slightly weepy feeling that comes from missing my good friends, a... READ MORE 


Catholicism: Are You Watching?

Back in May Danielle alerted us to Fr. Robert Barron’s Catholicism Project. It’s here!

I haven’t been home to see the first installments on public television, but some friends were telling me last night that it’s blockbuster: stunningly gorgeous, and not didactic or preachy.

If you haven’t caught the buzz, here are a few links which describe what people are excited about, and how parishes and prayer... READ MORE 


Lighting The Little Lights

He’s not just the Pope, he’s the bishop of Rome.

Like other bishops, he visits his parishes. On Gaudete Sunday he visited St. Maximilian Kolbe parish, and delivered a lovely homily on the potential of parish life.

Apparently the parish has a large immigrant community, and the Pope had some remarks about communion that are relevant to any parish where multiple ethnic groups are present.

Archbishop Dolan’s election... READ MORE 


Court of the Gentiles

http://www.mymixideas.com/message-of-his-holiness-benedict-xvi-for-the-82nd-world-mission-sunday-2008.html#more-186

Pope Benedict XVI has long had the re-evangelization of the West on his heart.

Just before he and the rest of the Vatican went on vacation, two major initiatives toward this end were announced.

First, there is now a Pontifical Council for Evangelization (here’s a column of mine with more on that) dedicated to renewing faith in places where the Gospel has already been preached, but the sense of God... READ MORE 


Catholic Radio Comes To DC

Catholic Radio launches today in the DC area at 1160 AM, WMET.

I’m not sure why it should, but it pleases me that the effort is being launched by two Texan brothers.

Gives me a clean-up at the corral image, I guess, although the brothers in question are businessmen, not a posse.
