“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen
Therefore, ACTIVATE YOUR CONFIRMATION and get to work!

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
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.
Visits tracked by Statcounter since Sat., 25 Nov. 2006:
I presented a poster (sort of like adult science fair) at a library conference in the spring, and we, along with many others, put a QR code on the poster. Then people viewing it could take a photo with their phone, and get more information later. They’re great for a conference situation where someone’s physical attention to your display or presentation will probably only last 5 seconds – if you have a QR code, they’re more likely to visit you virtually at a later time.
Had to Google to see what they were…and when I saw one I realized oh yeah, I know what those are. Just didn’t realize they were called QR codes. :)
I am in the same boat as MJ above.
I’m a new smartphone user and am not sure exactly how to ‘read’ them, but I do know what they are! (Is there an app? I have an Android phone)
So they’re a newer form of a UPC?
When I read the post, I started out as a “No idea” but in fifteen minutes have graduated to “Yes, I know them, read them and make them.” Very easy, and a most cool addition to the notice in the Church porch advertising the new parish website. Always wondered what these things were :-)
Well now I know – wow what an amazing thing! Made my day I think!
Does it have something to do with ham radios?
Wait, those are just called “Q-Codes“…

LOL. And of course you right! It is a science fair for grown ups, except the size. Mine has been for many years around 30,ooo participants, until I left academia. I like your idea to include QR on a poster. Very hip. I have to suggest it to my wife.
Thanks for this, Father.
Like Fr. Tim, I had seen these things about and wondered what they were. I also googled and have now got to ‘I know what they are’ – can’t get any further at present as I don’t have a fancy enough cell ‘phone.
I do, however, look forward to seeing the reactions of older parishioners tomorrow morning when they see the youngsters waving their ‘phones at the notice board. ;-)
Well, I voted no idea and then read the comments.
Like several of the others, I have seen them and occasionally used them. Just didn’t recognize that name.
I barely use a dumb phone, let alone a smart one.
MJ is going to need a bigger boat.
I voted “no idea” like others but now have a name to put on these things that seem to have started popping up everywhere.
I put a QR code containing a URL to a website my husband coded on our wedding invitation…
Great explanation on wikipedia. The Iphone has a number of apps that read and create.
We’ve been recently incorporating them into the events ads at FLL.
I thought those things were some sort of Magic Eye thing until I couldn’t find the hidden picture.
FYI: I’m not blonde.
I thought they were Ink Blots.
I know what they are but, alas, I don’t have a smart phone, so they don’t benefit me all that much.
I am like MikeM, I have an small flip phone with a camera, but I can’t do Apps. I’m curious as to what is in the codes, but don’t think it’s worth it to have a more expensive phone with the more expensive plan…
@eiggam QR codes can include web link, phone number, a vCard, a text snippet. Funny thing is you can put the code anywhere…look up “QR code” and “scarf” to see folks knitting QR codes into clothing…printing it on silk scarves, also seen on blankets…pretty fun way to embed links or even poetry in an abstract visual way.
Apparently a 21st century thing. Nothing against it, per se, but alas…not there yet.
No Facebook account yet, either. Sort of an equisetum among the roses.
Oh, so THAT’s what those things are called.
Sorry, I’m not up on all this techie stuff….I know only the basics of using a laptop computer, a cell phone (bare bones, not a Smart one) and a digital camera. Those are enough for me.
