Holy Saturday and Lord of the Rings

Last updated on: April 4, 2015 at 9:38 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

One of Catholicism’s greatest contributions is the great artists it has produced. I have written elsewhere about how the deeply incarnation and sacramental vision of Catholicism helps to inspire art that works at a deeper level than anything the world (and non Catholic Christians) can produce. One of the best examples of this is the comparison between Tolkien and Lewis. J.R.R.Tolkien wove his Catholicism into The Lord of the Rings at the deepest of levels. Not content to write a quasi-allegory like... Read more

Pizza, Persecution, and Police

Last updated on: April 3, 2015 at 6:42 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

A pizzeria owner in small town America is hounded into hiding with death threats, computer assault, pornography violence and arson threats. No conversation. No discussion. Just raw bullying. Rod Dreher has an excellent conversation here with a law professor who is pessimistic about religious freedom in the USA after the events this week in Indiana. What is most shocking about this interview is that the professor spoke to Dreher on the condition that his name and university not be divulged.... Read more

Supporting the Folks at Memories Pizza

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 2:57 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

A Go Fund Me account has been set up here to support the O’Connor family –the owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana. It already stands at over $200K. Why is this kind of gesture important? Not because thousands of people are saying, “Yeh. We hate gays. We are in favor of discrimination!” No. Those kind of irrational hate tactics, finding innocent victims and loud mouthed bullying is what the progressive media folks and liberal protesters are doing. To support... Read more

My Interview With Roma Downey

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 7:24 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

I have to admit, I don’t watch TV and I was living in England when Touched by an Angel was a hit, so I didn’t really know who Roma Downey was. I’ve since been told that she’s a pretty famous TV star and with her husband Mark Burnett a big Hollywood power broker. So I was pleased to have the chance to chat with her on the phone for a half hour about their new TV series A.D. The Bible Continues. My article... Read more

What’s Wrong With Pizza Pie America?

Last updated on: April 2, 2015 at 8:02 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Ironic that a Mom and Pop pizza parlor on Main Street USA becomes the center of a media firestorm over religious freedom. The Christian owners of Memories Pizza have been drawn into the firefight because of their sincerely held beliefs. They’ve had death threats and had to close down. Who would have thought it: in Pizza Pie America–in the vast and ordinary homeland of Middle America. This is the world of pizza parties on Friday nights, high school football, girl... Read more

Twelve Ways Liberals Lie

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 8:50 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Take a moment sometime and read the progressive press and study their lies. Here are twelve techniques they use. See if you can spot them. 1. They Play the Victim – The devil always plays the victim. Poor devil and his angels. They were cast out of heaven. Boo hoo. It was all a misunderstanding don’t you know? How could God have been so mean, so judgmental, so unkind? 2. They Mask Their Rage with “Sadness” – Liberals are always “deeply concerned” and “deeply saddened” and... Read more

Countering the Anti-Indiana Lunacy

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 8:09 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

What troubles me most about the hysteria surrounding the recent religious freedom legislation in Indiana is the amount of ignorance about the issue. Are Americans really so stupid? Are they so easily swayed by a bit of propaganda and shouting? I’m afraid so, and the visceral, emotional reaction to events is not simply a symptom of stupidity. It is a symptom of the dictatorship of relativism. You see, if you don’t believe there is any such thing as truth, then... Read more

The Call from Hollywood!

Last updated on: April 1, 2015 at 7:31 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

After I left the Anglican church I trained as a screenwriter and part of the patter in the class was, “You get yourself out there. You connect and network. Then out of the blue you get the call from Hollywood. When the call comes you better be prepared to get up and go!” Yesterday I had the call from Hollywood. I was interviewing award winning actress Roma Downey about her new television series A.D. for an article I’m writing and... Read more
