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...

Hah, Eucharisted, thats hillarious

Sorry, can't figure out how to scale the images. Someone change it for me if you can.

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?

Do we know their names yet?

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?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually advocating it here :) But I think if the Church were to call me for a draft I'd totally be into it.

Wheat from chaffe, sheep from goats, it would see where loyalties really lie and certainly cut down on the phony Catholic population, and maybe there wouldnt be a shortage then at all- like BAFriend said. No one said force... merely tell people what God's will is so its more obvious when they...

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...

Because of original sin, in this life, we can never completely "know" a person as God does- but we have a craving for it, for that will be our destiny in heaven. Hence Magritte's painting, "The Son of Man"

That was my feeling too- suppose we did live in nazi germany, would we have a nazi flag? Or in the a communist country, would we have an giant picture of stalin? or Mao? Obviously we would be against such things for what they represent- so why not the American flag? The nazi flag represented a...

For 40 minutes... wow. That would totally not go over well at my parish!

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...

I and my friends are writing in Brownback on principle :)
