“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

"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.

Best commercial ever. Anyone who disagrees in un-American! :-)
Yes, it is a very entertaining advert, but being totally unAmerican, I haven’t a clue what the cartoon is all about. And the game God loves most is cricket because the scoring system is unfathomable for ordinary mortals and it goes on for eternity.
Robbie, even if the car is German? (P.S. I love that commercial, too. I had a little Luke Skywalker back in the 1970s and all things Star Wars remind me of small boys.)
That is a great commercial. I had some little Star Wars kids back then, too. My new favorite commercial is the ‘Hump-Day’ camel. I laugh everytime.
Agreed: Best. Commercial. Ever!
Only Nazi’s would disagree that this is the best commercial ever! I’m kidding, but it is so good! I love, love, the body language of that kid. Every movement says something. It reminded me too of my own little Darth Vaders, my son originally, more recently my nephew’s boys. I bought the most fantastic outfit just like that little boy’s and the mask even had the Darth Vader “breath” sounds. A video shows my great-nephew in it and I flipped up the mask to reveal the cutest face and most adorable smile you could ever imagine. Heaven.
That camel commercial is good too by the way!
Love that commercial!! Even having seen it a number of times, it cracked me up. The child’s expression comes through without ever seeing his face, priceless. Thanks, Father, I really needed a laugh about now.
Great commercial; it never gets old.
Baseball is “the game God loves most”? Never! Football (soccer) all the way! It is very much a universal (i.e. “catholic”) sport! ;-)
It is the best ever!
My favorite of all time, too. I remember showing it to my wife (we have 4 boys) and she laughed and said, “That poor mother”. Heh heh.
That is the best commercial ever made.
Of course God loves baseball most.
He starts the Bible, ” In the big inning”
It was a beautiful evening for baseball in Southeast Indiana. My boys won the first game of their tourney 7-4. We came home and watched Field of Dreams starring who other than Darth Vader himself.
Speaking of good car commercials, ever see the one for tires where a guy brakes just in time not to hit a beaver that was waddling across the road right in front of a bridge, and a year later he’s about to cross that bridge during a thunderstorm when a tree falls right in front of him and he once again stops just in time… only then he sees the bridge floating away downstream in a flood, and the beaver he missed before is at the stump of the tree and gestures at him like they’re buddies and he’s got the guy’s back. For a commercial for tires, of all things, it was pretty hilarious.
My personal two favorite commercials are the Batman Snickers commercial aired during the Superbowl a few years or so back and the Nike commercial with the young parkourist running from the chicken.
Yeah, I have a weird sense of humour.
Love the commercial.
And as Deacon Doug McManaman explains so well, “The Lord loves a good game.”
Not to be pedantic, but car in spanish is a masculine word (obviously!) so it is “el coche” not “la coche”. Very good commercial. [Thanks.]
