Good Fridays: Like THE Good Friday

I’m not spending much time on the computer over the Easter Triduum, but wanted to just pass along some thoughts from Pope Benedict on the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of The Lord. It is taken from one of his general audiences from a few years ago. Hope you enjoy and have a blessed [...]

Good Fridays: Trends in US Religion

Here’s another short video from Fr. Barron with some insights on some of the trends in US religion. He specifically talks about this blurry shift of many individuals, as well as entire denominations, towards a type of spiritual secularization. In other words, the increasing trend of watered down dogma, non-denominationalism, overall general loss [...]

Good Fridays: The Colbert Report Chaplain?

For as irreverent as The Colbert Report can often be, the show uses humor to actually make some pretty good points sometimes. This(video below) is one of those cases. And apparently Colbert now has an official “chaplain” for the show – a Jesuit priest named Fr. Martin.

Good Fridays: Big chairs are totally awesome!

It’s been a really busy week of not being on Facebook. And what can I say – I survived.  So that’s good. (What would be better though is if you joined this group and sent an email to appeals@facebook.com asking them to re-enable Matthew Warner’s account.)

Good Fridays: The beat…beat-beat

Here’s a really awesome video intro to a Catholic Underground – run by the CFRs (Franciscan Friars of the Renewal). It’s from awhile back but I never tire of watching it. The brotha speakin’ was Br. Augustino – now Fr. Augustino.  I’ve had the extreme honor of hanging with a few of [...]

Good Fridays: New video, new channel, new president

March for Life
Tens of thousands (perhaps more) showed up to march on Washington and demand real change.  And even though the press every year largely tries to pretend it didn’t happen – it’s good.

Good Fridays: Good health, good news and good grief!

It’s been a good week.
U.S. Seminaries in overall good health
After the Catholic Church’s PR battle in the US over the recent decade and the U.S. priest shortage, it is great news to hear that conditions are improving in the seminaries.
A bailout for the porn industry?

Good Fridays: St. Therese goes to space

Howdy and good Friday to you!
True charity
Iraqi troops have donated money to US wildfire victims.  Although it may be a small amount in comparison to the charity the US has shown Iraqis, it’s not the amount that really matters.  It is an example of true charity when even though their own country is struggling so [...]

Good Fridays: Life is good

It’s easy to lose hope in a culture that continually challenges and contradicts our Faith. And in many ways it is our response to those challenges that build up our faith the most. But it’s also nice to often remember the many positive and good things that are happening in the world, too.
So [...]
