“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.

My brother was at a business meeting with Frank Shorter some years ago. They broke for lunch, and afterwards there were questions about what each had to eat, etc. When FS was asked, he said that he had run 10 miles. How did know it was 10 miles? “I run for an hour–it’s 10 miles.”

I am beginning to think you are following the olympics. ¡Gasp!
Glad that handball has finally reached the knockout stages. 6 teams in a group make for rather uninteresting games. Too many possibilities, so a loss doesn’t really matter.
Thank you for this — the Montenegro women’s come-from-behind win over France yesterday was truly epic.
Might I suggest a look at water polo as well?
Handball? You mean there is an Olympic sport other than beach volleyball?
As an American I find it puzzling that handball never caught on here. It is just the type of fast-paced, high-scoring and physical game that Americans usually enjoy.
I am still despondent over Matt Emmons inability to close the deal in men’s 50m 3 position smallbore rifle. He is an excellent shooter, doing very well in past World Cup and Olympic 50m prone rifle competitions, but he has some kind of hoodoo in 3-pos rifle. In 2004, he cross shot a target in the final and ended up finishing 10th out of 10 after having been in the lead. In Beijing, he had the lead going into the 10th shot of the final… he shot a 4.4 when his rifle discharged as he was settling into his rest. Knocked him from gold to 4th place… which is amazing in itself that he only fell to 4th place. And in London, he fired a 7.6 on his 10th target in the finals, dropping him from a lock on the silver to the bronze. But then again, Emmons said he was ecstatic for the 3-pos medal. Be thankful for what you have, I guess, especially coming back from a diagnosis of thyroid cancer in 2010.
I totally love handball since I watched it on Xfinity.com
I wish the US had a team in there. I actually love watching this sport more than basketball. Watching the Croatian women battling Spain was something else yesterday. The acrobatic maneuvers, diving throws into the net made it so exciting.
What a great sport.
