In my country people started to realize the entire democratic game is a mistification to give people the impression that there is a real fight amidst political alternatives. In fact it is one single party and its many factions under different names that is always competing. I have my doubts about the possibility of this system to be reformed or even corrected. I wonder how the Social Kingship of Christ could ever coexist with this kind of masonic structure we call democracy.

There are no real conservatives fighting for power. That means no one is trying to protect the unborn against unjust laws on the political scene. Some priests and bishops speak against the evil of abortion, but they are few and in general the Brazilian Catholics are not so militant as those in America or France.Ferdinandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452759277763632110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-28284308703865099812012-10-19T18:24:52.127-04:002012-10-19T18:24:52.127-04:00I see your point Brett Adams, and I agree with you...I see your point Brett Adams, and I agree with your observation, to a point. However I think Paul Nichols' point, that he was de facto acknowledging that the cross as a symbol, is irrelevant and can be removed by religious extremists who call themselves 'atheists.' The difference between an atheist and a religious believer is nil. Both 'believe', intensely in their basic premise. But Atheism, like Islam, would ban all symbolism or free expression by all other belief systems aside from their own.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184087576644941053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-79305075529782347062012-10-11T05:06:55.351-04:002012-10-11T05:06:55.351-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.londonwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358349221239821524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-82343339021244939922012-10-11T05:03:06.192-04:002012-10-11T05:03:06.192-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Wine as an investmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632774224078175420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-48037474277672839822012-09-07T12:35:01.071-04:002012-09-07T12:35:01.071-04:00Whe they haver thier god why do they need the true...Whe they haver thier god why do they need the true GOD?Brantignyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01609397972340635441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-23967652133923006852012-09-07T03:35:10.542-04:002012-09-07T03:35:10.542-04:00CCC 2358 The number of men and women who have deep...CCC 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.<br /><br />Really? This is our faith and our doctrine. Portraying those with homosexual tendencies in this way is ignorant, uncharitable and not in keeping with the teachings of the Church. <br /><br />Although I agree with you that Gay Marriage is unacceptable and pandering to it politically is not a position the Church should be in, I find this cartoon morally reprehensible as a fellow Catholic.

We should recognise the efforts of those willing to give their time to the church and the service of God. Unfortunately there are a few 'buts..' I'm sure we've all met players who do like the stage (organists included. We should educate the kids as well; they can like Gregorian chant. As a child I remember loving the Missa de Angelis. My Dad was the organist and was heavily involved with the choir suprisingly maybe but when the congregation were taught to sing it he left it to them (assisted by the choir). My point- the same as yours- it's how you do it. In my parish the older people seem to prefer guitar- we do strumming but try to use chord voicing that better reflects the melody than simple base position chords. It's down top education in bigger parishes the musical lead (director whatever) should ensure that players become suitably skilled. It's not that hard, only one needs to use a partial chord in high positions or be suitably adept with the right hand. <br /><br />We don't often move away from our standard hymn book. I know I'm being a bit random and moving about a bit but there a definitely hymns not suited for guitar and a few not to be played on the organ. Personally I don't like electric guitar etc but I also dislike many of the voices on modern electronic keyboards.<br />I think that some documents mentions the'pipe organ' as having a special place in our history.David Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277684628267382034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-19692329083843607922012-08-19T17:03:09.498-04:002012-08-19T17:03:09.498-04:00I agree on most points and thanks for your comment...I agree on most points and thanks for your comments. what do you say about the kids who feel like they are in a funeral when the organist plays music that sounds so morbid.

There's no place for standing, unless hidden round a corner. There's no place for anything that sets musicians aside or distracts the congregation from worship. We should face the altar we're part of the congregation.<br />The priest should decide who can and can't play. The liturgy is his responsibilty. It is possible to play the guitar with sensitivity in such a way that will enhance the beauty of the Mass without it becoming a performance but skill and training are essential. Rant nearly over but I hope I never play on Easter Sunday - we're quite good at some parts in the Triduum though.<br />DavidDavid Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277684628267382034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-71878530528923284092012-07-26T14:27:41.133-04:002012-07-26T14:27:41.133-04:00Interesting how far modernists have strayed, as Tr...Interesting how far modernists have strayed, as Traditional Catholics we follow the pre-Vatican 2 instruction; abstain from meat everyday during Lent (except Sundays), all Fridays throughout the year (except feast days), and Ember days. When my girlfriend was converting to the faith, during Lent she practiced the traditional bread and water fast for the 40 days as catechumens did for centuries before receiving the Sacraments at Easter vigil.MHatter469https://www.blogger.com/profile/04235648946697663995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-67467501869303788132012-06-28T14:54:04.087-04:002012-06-28T14:54:04.087-04:00Terrible, just terrible.Terrible, just terrible.Paul Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357349025294215828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-88922649659802631612012-06-28T14:41:28.913-04:002012-06-28T14:41:28.913-04:00I guess, after today's Obamacare decision, the...I guess, after today's Obamacare decision, the Supreme Court has its toilet paper order in too.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-53672229753526082882012-06-24T10:19:13.581-04:002012-06-24T10:19:13.581-04:00"Adeste fidelis" was originally a hymn t..."Adeste fidelis" was originally a hymn to Osiris, and "O for a thousand tongues" comes right out of the Anthem to Isis. Anita, It would be petty indeed to assume that only Christianity can give rise to good stuff and that anything of non-Christian origin must be bad.<br /><br />This afternoon I am looking forward to a special event following Evensong. We will engage in the Exposition, Adoration and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. I expect they will use the Prayer Book of Saint Augustine since it isn't in the BCP. <br /><br />I have no doubt that long before Christianity arose there were worshipers whose devotions honored the Almighty, the Father of Heaven and Earth, his only son, and the Theotokos, his mother whom we honor with the title formerly assigned to Isis, Queen of Heaven. They chanted the "Laudate Dominem" and the Angelus. They knew what it means to address Alma Redemptoris Mater ... stella maris ... peccato rum miserere ... .<br /><br />Osiris went before his devotees to Elysium where he prepared many mansions for them. Meanwhile they regularly consumed the eucharistic meal, barley beer and bread, transforming themselves into his likeness. Only in 550 A.D. did Justinian destroy the Osirian religion and enforce by the sword its Christian clone.Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229059771891072991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-25001547294132606682012-06-24T07:35:05.091-04:002012-06-24T07:35:05.091-04:00Hi there.

We just like coming together as a group to sing songs that celebrate the world and humanity's place in it. <br /> Next time you're in London you'd be very welcome at a performance. You never know, you might enjoy it. <br />Yours in peace.gingerpetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872386890815757268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-39632229358225228982012-05-22T01:08:55.625-04:002012-05-22T01:08:55.625-04:00I come late to this blog as I see the postings are...I come late to this blog as I see the postings are several years old. My favourite thing about being Catholic is that the mass, is the mass, is the mass. And Jesus is Jesus and He is in the Eucharist regardless of the type of instrumentation or music. I'm so saddened to read the small mindedness of some people. I guess that's what happens when you listen with your ears and not your heart. You receive Jesus in the Eucharist and then complain about the volunteers in the parish. Nice. Too bad you've missed the point.<br />Peggy MaasLove Mass and Love Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11354290096437564067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-50396440584197141712012-05-17T13:26:46.766-04:002012-05-17T13:26:46.766-04:00Would like to see a cartoon on your opinion of the...Would like to see a cartoon on your opinion of the new Archbishop of Baltimore.NJHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931562265338592108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995084980699941792.post-75299217664537297782012-05-13T11:51:31.368-04:002012-05-13T11:51:31.368-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Jeff Pioquinto, SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069289453694442530noreply@blogger.com
