Are ‘Foreigners’ Wrong to Expect Liturgy and Catechesis in their own Language?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:46 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Are ‘Foreigners’ Wrong to Expect Liturgy and Catechesis in their own Language? European foreigners arrived to America in 1492. Where non-European religion and culture were found, the effort was made to Europeanize the people. In the earliest days it was most often a distinctly Spanish Christendom that was imposed, not necessarily a Christianity that could be proposed and shared. Considering the United Sates of America, the Church has welcomed migrants for quite some time. Nevertheless, I have heard various persons... Read more

On This Day a Child is Born and Will Die

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:46 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

O love of Jesus, that triumphs over Him in all His mysteries, but particularly in His sublime Childhood and the consummation of His Cross, O love that in these two mysteries, transforms His omnipotence into helplessness, His plenitude into poverty, His sovereignty into dependence, His eternal wisdom into infancy, His joy and bliss into sufferings, and His life into death, conquer my selflove, my own will and my passions, and put me in a state of powerlessness, indigence, dependence, holy...

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:47 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Al Jazeera reported yesterday: Somalia has issued a ban on Christmas celebrations in the Muslim-majority country after the Southeast Asian sultanate of Brunei announced a similar prohibition earlier this month with the threat of five years in jail. Sheikh Mohamed Khayrow, director general of Somalia’s religious affairs ministry, said on Tuesday that Christmas and New Year celebrations threatened the country’s Muslim faith. “There should be no activity at all,” he told reporters, adding security forces had been ordered to break...

Catholic Worker Inspirations: G. K. Chesterton on Capitalism (Part 1)

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:33 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

My dearest friends, The Catholic Worker Movement finds its strength and authority not the the Church as a mere institution or in the writings of theologians and philosophers for the sake of intellectual justification, but roots its power in its concrete love of God and love of neighbor. This love materializes in direct and humble openness to the poor, where service and community manifest God’s saving mercy. Here the Gospel can be found. We have started to examine the inspirations...

Hillary Clinton is #NotMyAbuela

Last updated on: September 9, 2016 at 10:01 am By Keith Michael Estrada

A new campaign ad compares Hillary Clinton to an abuela. I know many abuelas, and have many women in my life who are like my abuelas – I also only have two biological abuelas.

Being Liberal: Should Justin Trudeau Apologize to Pope?

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 8:36 pm By Keith Michael Estrada

Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, recently noted he would ask Pope Francis to apologize for the role played by the Catholic Church in the Canadian Residential Schools program. As our brother, Sam Rocha, recently wrote for Proper Nomenclature, Trudeau isn’t wrong to ask for an apology, but shouldn’t go about asking for an apology without considering the many times the Church has apologized for its role – active or passive – in the suffering experienced by many, including the indigenous...
