Catholic Carnival 103: A terrible anniversary and lots of hope
This week’s Catholic Carnival notes the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, marks the start of the next presidential race, and offers enough introspection to keep you thinking for weeks. Enjoy:
We start off with St. Margaret of Hungary from We Belong to the Lord. It explores the Saint’s life and how it applies to us today.
Next, we’re back to Rome with Italian Musing #4: Ecumenical Shop on Borgo Pio, and Christian Unity at Monastic Musings explores the meaning of ecumenism and unity in a gift shop.
Sarah had to do it after breaking her arm. We all do it at some point and she discusses it in Swallowing My Pride at just another day of Catholic pondering. Out of humility comes . . . joy? This is a post you’ll enjoy (because you can relate!)
Intentional Disciples offers us Parable of the Sower, which examines the parable and what it means for intentional discipleship. The blog is sponsored by the Catherine of Siena Institute.
Kicking Over My Traces explores Post-Secular America and Stephen King as they were discussed in First Things. Have we jettisoned reason?
Keeping us focused on the Liturgical year, HMS Blog offers us The Good News of the Law and Spirit based on the Mass readings for Sunday (21st). It reflects on why God’s Law and Spirit are good news; and it touches on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.
Back to ecumenism with Resources for the 2007 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity at PhatCatholic Apologetics. This post explains the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and offers resources as well as a defense of the value of ecumenism.
50 Days After takes us international with Golden Statue in Madya Pradesh. Nebuchadnezzar is back in India and a Catholic Archbishop needs your support. Take a moment to look at this one.
The wisdom of a mother is obvious in The Legacy of Church Shoes at Catholic Matriarch in My Domestic Church. It’s a reflection on the little things we do that teach our children the importance of Mass.
Controversy? In the south it doesn’t get any more so than Indulgences. So Many Devotions . . . So Little Time explains indulgences and offers resources for going more indepth on your understanding.
Back to current events, Angry in the Great White North explores the possibility for A Catholic Monarch for England. How much would revoking the Act of Settlement of 1701 change things in England? Take a look.
Catholic Fire remains true to it’s name in Barak Obama and The Priest Who Sold His Soul to the Devil. Strong words? Take a look for yourself.
We continue with a little controversy in Let them be one . . . from A Catholic Life. Is ecumenism worthwhile? What should Catholics do about The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity?
Moving to the interior life, A Penitent Blogger gives us The ultimate strong man. It is a reflection especially for those of us who see ourselves as strong Christians.
The Kitchen Madonna keeps us on course with An Apron Manifesto or How to Get All Tied up with Apron Strings of Love. What does a woman in an apron really symbolize? Take a look and become part of the Apron Manifesto.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. Go here for more on the Catholic Carnival.
God bless,
Jay
