“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.

Let’s go South Side ‘Sox.
GO SOX!!!
Anathema! Go Twinkies!!!
Has the Vatican said anything about rooting for the cubs as being grave matter and must be confessed?
Oh, good grief, it took me a moment to get it. I don’t have a dog in the hunt, though, since the Yanks are out.
The Yankees being out WAS my dog in the hunt. I won!
The Angels start tomorrow. Boston at Anaheim.
Go Angels!
So it begins: the annual preemption of my prime time sitcoms! Grrr!
great pitcher’s duel but you will have to wait till next year Fr Z
Twins did great for losing Santana and Hunter. Gardenhire might get manager of the year
Too bad.
Time to get out my Cubs hat.
I guess I’ll go for the Dodgers and whoever-is-playing-the-Red-Sox.
Fr. Z,
You are out of line. Be faithful to the Central Division. I hate the Twins, but if they represent the American league, they are my team.
Gardenhire is easily the top Manager in the major leagues. The Twins play the best fundamental baseball.
Let’s go White Sox!
“Has the Vatican said anything about rooting for the cubs as being grave matter and must be confessed?”
As a life long Cardinals fan this will never a problem for me.
Ahem. The original “Angels in the Outfield” was about the Pittsburgh Pirates. And they could surely use ANY help right now. Why not cheer for these lovable losers all over again?
Eamus Catuli!
Franzjosf,
It took me till the comments to get it – sort of. I expect most Europeans similarly wouldn’t have a clue. Anyway, enjoy the game, fr. Z.!
Hmm.
It looks like English …
Read it aloud and it sounds like English …
There are definitely some English words in there …
So why can\’t I understand WHAT ON EARTH you are talking about?!
Is this one of those sporty-yanks-men\’s things?
P.S. \”Yanks\” is a term of GREATEST affection for you chaps in the USA, particularly in my family. My dad was on Sword Beach on the day you all were along the coast at Omaha. We\’ll never forget it.
I’m with you Christabel. I think it may be what they laughingly call the WORLD series… ;-)
Chris: Any time an English team would like to take the field in a fit of global zeal, I am sure they could be accommodated. We have any number of Little League teams which could give them a match.
Chris, I believe the series was named after its first sponsor, the New York World. Granted, it is almost as laughable as the Lehman Brothers Series would be today…
Christabel, using “Yank” as a term of affection for chaps in the USA is like using “Welsh” as a term of affection for chaps in the UK. It’s weird how it pleases some and offends others! :-)
