Just last week I ordered a Cardinal Newman mug and a Oremus Pro Pontifice mug, but due to Snowmageddon they are delayed. I am thinking of getting one of the Cardinal Newman mugs for my mother as she is a Episcopal. She has been a member of many denominations, but the latest is the closest she has been to Catholic. Please pray for her conversion.
Fr. Z.,
Have you written an explanation about a cardinal taking possession of his titles and what that means? Does the cardinal then live in the title? Is he the pastor of the parish? Is there a pastor or rector of the parish similar to a cathedral setup? Is it a regular parish or simply a church that is designated as a title? What is the significance of the title in general?
Thank you again for your posts. They are very edifying and informative.

On a more serious note, David I will keep your mother in my prayers.
Fr. Z,
What timing! I just used that exact same quote from Cardinal Newman to end a 20-page final paper for my college course on Christian Conversion! Accordingly, the title of my paper was “Christ’s Church and Catholicism: A Historical Analysis of the One True Church.” Now, because this is the University of Michigan, I was a little worried about being “zapped” grade-wise by my likely liberal teacher. (I think he was Eastern Orthodox, so I made a point of saying how close in doctrine these “two lungs” of the Church are.) Luckily, he turned out to be a very objective grader.
Here’s another good quote, this one by G.K. Chesterton: “Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it on something solid.” I used it in an English paper about the true definition of open-mindedness. This time, however, I did get “zapped” (different professor), probably because I alluded to the existence of God as the source of truth and moral issues such as abortion. I guess that’s just “The Michigan Difference” right there!
Nevertheless, it is a good quote–one I would recommend strongly for any future WDTPRS mugs.
San Lorenzo in Lucina is a very beautiful church. Behind the reredos, there is a beautiful choir, and in the center a hidden door with a marble chair used by Pope Paschal. The pastor was kind enough to show me and my parents and had me sit in it. Sad things is that I had such a bad headache that day, I could barely see it.
Once upon a time, San Lorenzo in Lucina was the church proper to the Cardinal Protopriest. Not a very ancient thing though, and a tradition that was discontinued after the 19th century.
It’s just way too cool that a guy born in Richland Center, Wisconsin is now titular of a deaconry centered on a church built by Ricimer for the Arians in the 5th century.
