    Jean, you post great things, but this guy is really off. I find his ideas to be more harming than anything. Don't get me wrong, I am more conservative than most Catholics, but I find even this guy to be over the top. I think the most harming is his pretense than every word he speaks is truth when in fact, he is twisting and exaggerating some truths to make the USCCB look like very bad. Sure, it needs reform and needs some lay people to be taken out. But, as Arch Bishop Nienstedt has said about the USCCB, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. They do many good thing and NOT everything they do and produce is tainted with democratic ideals. Who is spreading division in the Church? I dare to say this guy is and those who go to great lengths to try to dig up dirt on even good lay people in the USCCB are spreading division maybe just as much as those descending Catholics who worked for the USCCB. I think this scandel is more sensationalized and hyped up by Catholics who want to find scandel and division in the Church. Let's not forget the core of Jesus' teaching is! Love, Mercy, Forgiveness and BUILDING UP the Kingdom of God

    Sarah,

    Whenever the truth is exposed, there is always much resistance. That resistance is not from God.

    There has been division in the Catholic faith for many years. Now, it is the time to come to grips with it and put an end to it. The USCCB needs to act. They need to stop spending our money on causes that support abortion and homosexuality.

    We need to continue to pray for the Church and its leaders that they will act in a godly manner and according to God's commandments. What they are doing is wrong and inconsistent with Catholic teachings.

    It isn't only Michael Voris who is speaking out, but many of our solid, orthodox Catholic leaders -- 26 solid Catholic organizations are protesting the abuses of the USCCB.

    Please read all the posts here to get a true picture of what is happening.

    What is offensive to me is going against Catholic teaching, supporting gay rights, abortion, same sex marriage, etc. Stating the truth just makes me angry they are using the "Catholic" name to lead unsuspecting people astray.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Saint Michael de Sanctis: Patron of Cancer Patients

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
