Catholic line art
August 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment
This is a link to the Catholic Library website. But the link takes you to their library of Catholic line art. That’s about twenty seven pages of old fashioned line art, illustrating the life of Christ, Stations of the Cross, banners… it’s worth a look.

The Rosary and non-Catholics
August 30, 2006 | Leave a Comment
The following is an excerpt from the Rosary Workshop website:
We receive many emails that start off ‘I would love to make rosaries but I am a Protestant - is it ok? Some ask, ‘I want to pray the rosary but do not know if I should’, ‘is it a Catholic thing‘. What a treasure! How [...]

The Times of India reports that a militant Islamic group in Egypt is accusing the El Qaeda leader of giving Islam a bad name. Why is this here? Because I thought this quote too good to ignore:
“Islam was the first religion to give humanity an approach on how war could be merciful and civilised, the [...]

The Turin Shroud again
August 29, 2006 | Leave a Comment
Ian Wilson’s 1978 Turin Shroud book convinces that the Shroud is the real thing, and I can readily understand the analyses of the scientists and doctors he mentions who prove it. There are some things that a medieval artist would never have considered if he were to make a forgery.
Astonishingly, the Shroud made it’s way [...]

One of the Church’s most revered fathers and theologians, bishop, doctor and saint. Head over to the Way of the Fathers where St. Augustine is frequent subject.

Common Era?
August 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment
After seeing the abbreviation CE in history pages on the internet, I had Google tell me that it is:
Initials meaning “Common Era,” formerly AD, “Anno Domini,” dating the year 0001 as the birth of Christ. CE is used to include persons of all faiths in the dating of history. BCE indicates “Before Common Era,” the [...]

The Turin Shroud, Ian Wilson
August 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment
This is an old book, but I highly recommend it. A compelling documentary on the authenticity of the Shroud which is venerated as a relic of our crucified Lord. From the back of the book:
Recently, modern scienfitic methods have produced such startling evidence for its authenticity as to make it impossible for those who have [...]

Now on the new Blogger Beta. And the name of the site will keep changing as I look for an original title which does not already exist.
