"Be A Man" - Priestly Discernment Program - Franciscan Steubenville, Oh

This song isn't even theologically correct. The Spouse is the Church.

Pro-life activist arrested by Calgary police for showing graphic abortion signs

Before you accuse people of "denying your fundamental right of freedom of speech", you should actually read and study the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Your fundamental rights aren't absolute. For example, you cannot go into a packed theatre and yell "fire" when there is no fire because doing so would create a panic and unnecessary risk to the safety and well-being of the people there.

Pro-life activist arrested by Calgary police

Can you please tell me how CPS was "bullying" these people? They acted very professionally and they actually let the person arrested off on a very lenient charge. What you were doing is a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of Canada, showing obscene pictures. Had this person been charged with that he would have incurred a criminal record. Instead, he was charged with a traffic offence, which …More
Can you please tell me how CPS was "bullying" these people? They acted very professionally and they actually let the person arrested off on a very lenient charge. What you were doing is a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of Canada, showing obscene pictures. Had this person been charged with that he would have incurred a criminal record. Instead, he was charged with a traffic offence, which falls under the provincial statutes and is just a fine.

I drove past Chinook Mall while you guys were standing outside and was so distracted by what I saw that I almost rear-ended the car in front of me. Furthermore, you have no control over who sees those images. As such, you risk re-victimizing women who have had abortions, suffered the consequences and are trying to make up for their sin.

This officer is absolutely correct in that there are other ways to protest against abortion. And as the writer below me states, yes, prayer and fasting are the most efficient means of stopping abortions. When abortion clinics shut down, it's after something such as a perpetual adoration chapel opens, Rosary chains around abortion clinics, priests reciting the prayers of exorcism or saying Mass in the vicinity of the clinics.

I am anti-abortion, but I am also against your methods of protesting. CPS has enough work to deal with they don't need you creating more work for them by irresponsible activism.

Why Does A Catholic Priest Wear A Collar?

So...what does that say about priests who don't wear their collars and like to live the soft life?

Rome Wedding in Extraordinary Form

Is that Fr. Fromogeot? It sounds just like him, and I recognize that constant swaying back and forth during the last Gospel.

Crazy Goose! Canada goose thinks he owns this boat and takes exception to its use

I probably would have just broken its neck. I believe by that point you're justified in killing it without a hunting licence.

Gorgeous Byzantine Liturgy. Vancouver, Canada: September 1, 2012 - His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav …

Is it bad that I'm a Latin Rite Catholic, but prefer Byzantine chant over Gregorian chant?
Yes, Byzantine liturgies are very complex. It's especially mind blowing when you're so used to the OF Mass.More

Good Question: Do Catholics still have to abstain from eating meat on Fridays?

Actually, in Canada we are still required to abstain from meat every Friday, not just Lent, or do some other type of equal penance. And yes, I have to confess it if I don't.

Carmen Briceno's Vocation Story. Carmen Briceno's Vocation Story

This video should have a tag for Consecrated Virgins. There's so few vocation videos for this vocations, that every video is helpful. This is especially helpful for younger women who are discerning, as I get the impression from the other videos that the consecration of virgins is more for older women who have "passed that age" and it has become obvious that "they weren't called to marriage."

Divine Comedy - II - Purgatorio (Robert W. Smith)

As someone who played a tonne a Robert W. Smith's stuff in high school, it never ceases to amaze me at how much they all sound very similar.
PS: Those skirts are WAAAY too short to wear, especially for playing a wind instrument. If you can't sit with proper posture because you have to sit in such a way that compromises your ability to breathe properly, so you don't flash anyone, you're skirt is …More
