Does anyone know if there will be a new translation for the ordination rite?

Some of my friends consider music categorically ordered to the sacred, and that a good Catholic should never listen (deliberately) to secular music, even if there's nothing, you know, really bad in the lyrics or anything. I was surprised to hear this the first time, but I've heard it numerous...

This is a pattern on an old cope hanging on the wall in our seminary's library. I was wondering what all the symbolism refers to. There is of course the two deer, perhaps from psalm 42. But why are their necks chained to the wall and they have crowns around their necks, is it dew or blood...

So we had the post on how the Church believes that the soul is enshrined the moment the sperm and egg come together. But what about when two different eggs and two different sperm come together? We know that happens with twins, but sometimes the two zygotes merge later in development, and...

I saw it on YouTube shortly afterwards on the 17th, but I can't find it again. Anyone know where on the internets I could find Fr. Pavone's commencement speech?

I noticed that in some churches everyone responds, other times just the servers, or the choir. Which way is the right way?

Not sure where to post this on the internets, maybe I'll find an answer on CF! Chivalry, by Gautier tells in the first few pages how Bossuet demonstrates war as a terrestrial preparation for the kingdom of God. I'd like to know more about how Bossuet sets about trying to do this, but I can't...

Not sure where to post this on the internets, maybe I'll find an answer on CF! Chivalry, by Gautier tells in the first few pages how Bossuet demonstrates war as a terrestrial preparation for the kingdom of God... but I can't find Bossuets work regarding this matter yet. Any help?

I was thinking the other day that perhaps a way to overcome the shortage is by a draft. Now I know what you're thinking, and its what I thought at first, "Of course not, being a priest is by God's calling, free will, ect ect..." But we do believe that all the other stuff the Church tells us...

Playing the odds is OK in poker, but not in politics. A lot of people simply vote for the lesser of two evils in the election... and they know this, which is probably why we've had so many useless candidates for presidency. So my friend and I decided we were simply going to write in Brownback...

I was reminded about CF when I saw the flag there today, I remember a very old thread about it. Its not even that it was there, but was displayed so prominently that it got my attention. There was the tabernacle, next the candles, next the little plaque in Latin the priest reads off, then a...

Prayers for the region first and foremost. So the UN is planing on "peacekeeping" in darfur in october. Will they be successful? Whats the main problem in darfur, I'm not really up on it except the name.

Be honest, how many practice their gregorian chants in the shower?:D

The police stationed at the Planned Parenthood are notorious for stuff like this. The worst I think was when Luanne got arrested for walking on the ramp which we had a surveyor come out and determined was public property. The ruling later determined that you do not have the right to free...

Does a priest have to announce and plan ahead for adoration, or could he just do it himself when he felt like it?

What Civ do you guys usually pick? I usually go for Ghandi or Washington.

Maybe part of the reason why they were afraid was cause they ditched him and took the only boat back to Caupernam! http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=50&chapter=6&version=31 Is that whats happening here? (Verse 16)

What does that mean? Acts 7:51—8:1a The witnesses laid down their cloaks in front of Saul, and then it skips to Stephen being stoned?
