Catholic Carnival LXIV: Struggle for Holiness

The posts this week seemed to all (in some way) work around our struggle to grow, to live, to love. I think everyone will find something of interest:

Sometimes we are called to struggle to find joy and The Lovely Dancer at Perfect Work explains her struggle with Yoga as part of this. Very interesting post.

In Italy, a priest was sued for suggesting Jesus was real. When Jesus Returns, Boy Oh Boy . . . from TMH’s Bacon Bits takes a look at the case and asks, “Could it happen here?”

One of the toughest things to blog is an intensely personal experience, especially when it’s a problem with our lives. Brewing in My Soul at A Song Not Scored for Breathing gives us a life changing experience of coming through the darkness into the Light.

Freedom from and for God focuses on the meaning and importance of the “authority” that Jesus shows in casting out demons from Sunday readings. HMS Blog even ties it in to our marriage vocation (for those of us who are married).

The recent Vatican announcement on copyrighting Encyclicals has raised some questions. Red Guy in a Blue State is concerned about the message it sends in On Vatican Copyrighting. Why the change? Red Guy takes a look.

In a post all Catholics should read, A Penitent Blogger takes a look at our potential reaction when the Church is attacked (or even when we are insulted). The Insulters is a meditation on reacting in a balanced, Christian way.

Pro-Life Values are On the Move according to Ramblings of a GOP Soccer Mom. New statistics look promising for the pro-life movement and this post has some interesting points.

The fad in contemporary culture is to think of Jesus as our "best friend." Our Word and Welcome To It points out that we shouldn’t overlook Jesus the Brother. What’s the difference? I’ll let you read about it.

Are Charismatics more likely to get caught up in Liturgical abuses? Charismatic Question at Crusader of Justice explores his experiences regarding this.

In apologetics, much debate centers around the Eucharist. Our submission is The Eucharist in the Age of the Fathers which offers an interesting look at how the early Church fathers saw the Eucharist.

Hope you enjoyed it!

God bless,
