Catholic's Come Home...A New Catholic Website dedicated to the New Evangelization...

Not sure if you have seen at your local Catholic parishes a yard sign or some pamphlets in your Church talking about this program called "Catholics Come Home" but it looks really great. I am aware that even some bishops are highly encouraging their faithful to be involved in promoting their website and other materials. I would encourage anyone reading this to do the same. It is a very sad reality that so many Catholics that grow up in the faith in the western world today wind up not practicing their faith as they experience spiritual difficulties or spiritual "boredom". Most or at least some of the blame of course is a result of many person's in Catholic leadership not teaching or living out the Catholic faith and where they have failed the truly faithful ones have to take up the call to evangelize and in some cases re-evangelize. Go and check out their website and if your parish is not aware of this program see if you can encourage this there or in any other Catholic place that might be open to this kind of program. Let us pray for all those Catholics who are seeking the truth may they find Him.

The Glories of Communism?

There is a new report out claiming that about 50,000 Christians are in forced work camps in North Korea. I love living in one of the most free countries in the world and hearing from certain people how great this country would be if it were just more communist. How long will it take for people to realize the utter brutality and horrors that have resulted under this flawed system of government? Need examples look at Cuba, look at Russia, when it was known as the U.S.S.R., Look at East Berlin after World War II and now look at North Korea where religious freedom is non-existent and you can become a slave of the government because you want to believe as a Christian. This is not the only communist country to feel threatened by the beliefs of Christianity...look into it, we can't afford not to. May the Cross of Jesus Christ continue to be the banner of victory for us.

Priest who is Fox News contributor has new book on how Self-Help is not enough we need God...

Fr. Johnathan Morris has become a regular face on Fox News, and the face of a Catholic priest none the less. When I am able to catch a listen to Fr. Johnathan, as he is referred to on Fox News, I like what I hear and am impressed with the way he handles himself on air.

Just the other day I found out, via Fox News, that he had a new book coming out titled "God Wants You Happy: From Self-Help to God's Help". And anyone reading this, which is probably only me :), This book is very long over due. In today's world self-help books have become the modern day personal bible for so many people. This trend has even found it's way into many Christian communities without proper discernment between where self-help begins and where God's help starts. I look forward to purchasing Fr. Johnathan's book and hopefully others will too in order to get a proper sense of how to truly find happiness which can only be found in You oh Lord.

Bloggers Welcome...Bloggers Welcome in this place

The Vatican is hosting a meeting with the international blogging community...“to allow for a dialogue between bloggers and Church representatives, to listen to the experiences of those who are actively involved in this arena, and to achieve a greater understanding of the needs of that community.”

Lets hope that some of the more zealously orthodox are among the attendees and have a truly productive dialogue. Likewise, let's hope that the some times unaware Vatican officials don't allow the Trojan horse loose in Vatican City. I would assume that we wouldn't have to worry to much about that, with both the Swiss Guards and the Holy Spirit the wiles of the devil can't accomplish too much in the City of God.
