Holy Week is Coming! Prepare Ye the Way of the Nutjobs!

Last updated on: March 28, 2015 at 12:16 pm By Larry D

It practically never fails. It’s nearly a universal theorem: the closer one approaches a holy time in the Church, the greater degree of crazy you see on the Internet. You can set your liturgical clock by it. So, as we are about to enter Holy Week, you can bet that some really stupid stuff about Jesus, the Resurrection, and what those early Christians really believed will be written. It’s already started. Over at the Huffington Post, that august repository of blithering opinions on parade,... Read more

The AoftheA Catholicity Baseline Test

Last updated on: March 18, 2015 at 7:30 am By Larry D

Over at Jennifer Fitz’s place, Sticking The Corners, is a great post titled “The Hero Complex that is Destroying the Catholic Faith. In it, Jennifer wrote: Parents, not catechists, are the people ordained by God to pass on the faith to their children. The mission of the Church is to make disciples of those parents, and equip them to teach their children. If we have to choose between programs for adults and programs for children, adults are the priority. Not because we don’t care about kids,... Read more

Madeleine Delbrel, My Model for the New Evangelization

Last updated on: March 17, 2015 at 12:23 pm By Larry D

I first met Madeleine in July 2009, inside the Magnificat magazine, and was immediately captivated. Today, she’s my bfsog (Best Friend Servant of God). ‘We, the ordinary people of the streets, know very well that as long as our own will is alive, we will not be able to love Christ definitively. We know that only obedience can root us in his death. We would envy our religious brothers and sisters if we too could not “die to ourselves” a... Read more

Ten Things You Should Never Tell Your Altar Servers

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 10:32 pm By Larry D

Earlier in the week, Fr Dwight Longenecker published a helpful post “Ten Things You Should Tell Your Altar Servers”. Being a former altar boy, I found the post insightful and informative. But something was missing from his post. I didn’t know what at first, and it took me several days to put my finger on it. Then it occurred to me. The good Father neglected to include a list of the Ten Things You Should Never Tell Your Altar Servers. I’m on it, though. It’s all good. Here... Read more

An AoftheA Public Service Announcement Regarding Papal Approval Polls

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 6:03 pm By Larry D

A kind and gracious reader left the following comment at my “How to Write a Click-Bait Headline!” post, that bears additional commentary: “Yes the world does love him [ed:Pope Francis]. Latest stats if they are correct say 80% of American Catholics love him. Wonder if they are all Church going Catholics? And I wonder what percentage actually knows their faith? Just sayin.” This was a reply to a comment left by another kind and gracious reader, who, in part, wrote: “…That... Read more
