Nice Blog

Minority of One is a pretty ice blog. Quote:
Paul Martin Jr is well on his way to becoming the worst prime minister in Canada's history. Worse than Joe Clark. He committed political regicide, lost the Lib majority and has already shown he is incapable of governing. Perhaps Jr should just go back to running CSL, where he can bark orders to flunkies and know they will be obeyed. As a prime minister, he is a total washout. The only remaining question is whether the Libs will have time to dump him before the next election.
And the author lives in Ontario. In Ottawa. Go figure. I think it might be a bit early to call PM the PM, the worst PM in history, but I can't deny that the signs are tending to point that way. I love it when he turns all red and throws his hands around and says things like "let me very clear...." And then proceeds to spew liberal gibberish that amounts to "please like me, please like me, I'll be your friend, I'll buy us all ice cream...." Come to think of it, maybe I don't like it all that much. It wasn't all that much fun in third grade either.

Mirror of the just man

Ecce Homo I haven't done a quote from Pope Ratzinger's Introduction to Chistianty in a while and even though I have finished the book there are still one or two passages I want to share, including - perhaps even especially - this one. When I first began to look over what Christianity teaches, to look at the gospel story and to try penetrate why it has been so compelling to so many for so long, this was one of the things that leapt out at me. I was happy to see our Pope confirm it. Expanding on the Apostles Creed where it says "... suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried," Ratzinger writes: The fact that when the perfectly just man appeared he was crucified, delivered up by justice to death, tells us pitilessly who man is: Thou art such, man, that thou canst not bear the just man - that he who simply loves becomes a fool, a scourged criminal, an outcast. Thou art such because, unjust thyself, thou dost always need the injustice of the n...

Last minute christmas suggestions

Suggestions fror the coming Christmas season: Loreena McKennit , Songs for the Season . Even though McKennit has not released an album in something like a decade, I've only just discovered her and she's amazing. This little EP has only five songs on it and Canadians can pick it up on iTunes for about $4 and change. Amazon wants ten US bucks... Richard Proulx and the Cathedral Singers, Catholic Latin Classics . It's not a Christmas album per se, but it'll sound terrific. Magnificat . This is a really nice daily missal. Fourteen issues a year include two special editions for Holy week and Christmas. Each issue has all of the masses for each day of the month, and a couple of features about historical artworks, poems, and faith issues. These are really nice and I'm glad my wife has deemed me worthy of one.

Redemptionis Sacramentum

Thank you to Rick and Kristina and others who commented on my post about our parish's liturgical meeting this past weekend, and to Tony , who sent a very supportive e-mail. Rick and Kristina pointed me towards a document called Redemptionis Sacramentum , which will be quite helpful, I think. Looking back at the Easter mime incident, for example, I can see issues with Chapter 3, sections 58 to 63. A summary of the document can be found here .
