Gaudium Magnum

This blog emerges from China to present belated anniversary wishes to the Holy Father, while providing a link to a Youtube video of the NBC coverage of the election result. After all the news stories, I didn’t want to even click up www.vatican.va from there.
May he have very many more. He is a great inspiration, [...]

Just returned from China…

April 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment

…and most of the Catholic blogosphere is properly visible from China. I mention this because several bloggers proudly declared a few weeks ago that they had been banned in China. People had been accessing a site that claimed to be able to tell if a site was banned by entering its URL. Everyone knows about [...]

Rowdiness on the subcontinent

April 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment

As read on American sources. I do get most of my news from the Americans. Here, CWNews reports on a priest being assaulted in the motherland. There, Fr. Joe describes how a brother was tortured in Pakistan. ‘Blasphemy’ is a ready pretext to attack Christians, in Pakistan.
All this reminds me of the fine line the [...]

More paper wasted; Save The Environment, why don’t you?

April 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Last week, I found in a bookstore a book called ‘the Brotherhood of the Shroud’. Let’s see…grotesque murder in some church or monastery somewhere, dastardly secret hidden in the shroud that could shake your Faith, rock the Earth, pull $12.90 out of your wallet and leave you wondering at the evil Catholic Church for covering [...]

The Tertullian project

April 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment

An extract from the website I’m advertising in this post:
“Tertullian had a tenacious sense of the truth, and frequently railed against the church’s conformity to the world and compromise with surrounding paganism. The social life of his time (just like our time but in slightly different appearance) was riddled with idolatry. Tertullian believed the Christian’s [...]

The Latin site

April 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I’ve been posting at Stblogs’s Latin site since January. It’s supposed to be a group blog, and it’s supposed to be updated daily. If anyone has any Latin, please step up and be a contributor.
I have been entering bits of the Vulgate and it may be getting old. I’d like to put in more variety, [...]

Babies survive abortion.
Oh, the suffering these Innocents go through. People say Herod was such a cruel man, killing all those little babies only to get to the Lord.

Overwhelmingly sad

April 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The best thing about the internet is how national festivals become international festivals.
And how a national tragedy becomes an international tragedy. My thoughts today are with the souls of the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy in the U.S. and their families, and those of the three gentlemen who were murdered in Turkey for printing [...]
