With a tip of the biretta to CMR enjoy this video, have a good chuckle, and then make it your personal project to show it to at least five young people.

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.Help Monks in Wyoming, Fr. Z, and get great coffee too!
Food For Thought
“The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being.”- St. John Paul II
How about Rome in October?
PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?

I just bought some candy bars for the chancery staff. Sweeten up someone’s day!

More food for thought:
“I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.”

"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."- Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 176

Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."- Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824.

Funny!
I’m watching that, and I’m, like, do you think??
You know, fershur …. that was, like — you know …. awesome. D’yaknow-wad-I-mean? Dude!
Yeah, but does anybody, like, like to speak like that?
Someone needs to play this for Jimmy Aiken before his next apologetic programme.
Fr Z?
Instead of, you know, showing this movie to at least five “young” people, I just, um, watched it at least 5 times. Is that ok?
Like, ineffable!
I wonder if the ancient Romans struggled in a similar way…
Veritas? Quid est like, veritas?
I have long said that if I must be wrong, I will at least be authoritatively wrong.
I was once in awe of a college classmate of mine, who was clearly the most well-informed student on the face of the globe. Then he let me in on his secret: he simply said everything as if he was sure of it. He said he’d had a teacher in high school who often corrected him– “Actually, Steve, that’s not true.” But most of the time his strategy worked.
Taylor Mali is a “slam poet” from New York City. His work can be found elsewhere on YouTube, as well as here:

An advisory for content is in order, with the occasional use of expletives. One could do worse.
Taylor Mali is the man :) I recommend the actually video of this performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCNIBV87wV4)…
r.j.sciurus; Of course they did. How else did we end up with the Romance languages :-D
Check out his piece “What Teachers Make.” It inspires me to go back to school and become an English teacher! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxsOVK4syxU
I laughed, thanks Father. If that’s okay?
