My Hopes For Pope Benedict's Speech To The Intelligentsia

Pope Benedict has put on his schedule a meeting with presidents and other top personnel of Catholic universities in the United States. The former university professor himself is well aware of the impact academia can have on impressionable young souls, for good or bad, and he knows that the U.S. is home to the largest single concentration of Catholic universities in the world, so there is a lot at stake in this talk. My hope is that he will set them straight about a few items that these most intelligent people in higher education seem to be confused about. I would think that a few of the following issues would be of highest importance, as regards both theory and discipline.

Let's start at the beginning: I think he should demand that Catholic colleges and universities go back to actually teaching the fullness of the Catholic Faith to young people. What would be unreasonable about that? The fact that a handful of newer, unabashedly traditional, Catholic colleges have sprung up in recent years to defend and teach Catholic orthodoxy is in itself an indication that most of the other ones are not doing their job. I am not talking about presenting a façade of Catholic teaching to the kids. I am talking about immersing the youth of these schools in the Catholic intellectual tradition and forming their minds and souls to offer our dynamic Faith as a gift to our nation so desperately afloat in a sea of relativism and intellectual degradation.

Secondly, in order to do that, universities would basically need professors who are steeped in the Catholic intellectual tradition themselves and capable of applying that to modern times. Not only is the percentage of Catholic faculty declining in some major Catholic universities around the nation, but the quotient of orthodoxy of those who call themselves Catholic is highly questionable. Right now, it is virtually impossible even for Catholic university presidents to know which of their theology professors have actually signed the "Mandatum" (a statement that a professor can and will teach the Catholic Faith) required by the document Ex Corde Ecclesiae. If a Catholic professor at a Catholic university or college is not willing to formally be recognized as a teacher of the orthodox Faith, why is he or she on the faculty?

Thirdly, the Holy Father should just tell these elite members of higher education to get the secular, dissenting and hedonistic garbage off Catholic campuses and to do it immediately. Certain things are totally inconsistent with Catholic faith and practice. For starters, he can ask them to get over their obsession with the V-Monologues and eradicate every vestige of that wretched play from Catholic campus life. They should then decommission and remove all gay and lesbian groups from their lists of approved organizations on campus, and then uproot all radical, leftist causes and courses that both give scandal and cause a distortion of Catholic thinking on social issues. Presumably parents send their kids to these places to be fed with solid food for their souls; the intellectual junk food of our society should be taken off the menu at every institution that calls itself Catholic.

The most important part of his approach to these issues, however, has to be discipline, something that can only come from the top. University presidents who refuse to clean up their acts should just be removed, no matter how popular they are or respected in the communities. Their first responsibility is to God and the young people entrusted to their care, and the official church hierarchy has to ensure that. Tenured radicals should be gently set out to pasture so that they can no longer contaminate young souls - and vibrant, orthodox, faithful and intellectually honest Catholics should be given positions of authority at the institutions forming the next generation of Catholics. Remember that this is the generation that will uproot the culture of death from our land and transform it into a culture of life - but only if they are truly Catholic. Who else can set them straight on that except the Vicar of Christ?
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer,

He's here to bring CHRIST- HOPE TO ALL....Mr. Maher is in such a 'hopeless' state right now for he is tearing down everything that is good. He is such a very angry and sad man, really.

Our Holy Father comes to share HIS TRUTH -with all - including Mr. Maher.

And as Mary Ann Kreitzer, president of the Catholic Media Coalition, an umbrella group of Catholic organizations, shared her opinion of Mr. Maher's comments with Cybercast News Service - "a horrifying anti-Catholic diatribe. Poor Bill Maher. We'll pray for him."

Indeed we shall...we shall pray for all who turn a deaf ear and heart to GOD'S WILL and TO HIS WORD.

Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

Deal Hudson & Rev. John Haggee

Meeting Reverend John Hagee

Next, I contacted Hagee. He seemed genuinely hurt that he was being seen by the nation as anti-Catholic. He said, "Deal, how can people think I am anti-Catholic when my wife is an ex-Catholic, and a third of my congregation are former Catholics?" I bit my tongue. We really needed to talk; there were some things about Catholics he truly didn't understand.

I'm not even going to go there...HAVE MERCY!

Solemnity of the Annunciation of the LORD


Luke 1:28

And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

This image is so grand to meditate upon...the thought of grace...PURE GRACE! How awesome!
GOD IS SOOOO VERY GOOD!
She IS THE receptive vessel that carried OUR LORD AND SAVIOR - "full of grace"; a vessel full of grace!

Go to her and ask her intercession...that you receive ALL THE GRACE that HE will provide for your journey back to HIM! We need this supernatural grace so that we can make our supernatural journey back to HIM! Pray that we be given the graces of faith, humility,obedience and most especially all the virtues! Help us all to answer YES to OUR LORD in each second, each minute, each hour--with each beat of our heart and every breath that we take. That we do HIS WILL in all things and at all times for the honor and glory of OUR LORD!

John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.

John 1:16-18
From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace,because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God,who is at the Father's side, has revealed him.

And....do you know how much St. Gabriel awaits our request of his assistance? The next time that you are supposed to spend time with a loved one, for example a non-practicing Catholic, ask St. Gabriel to go ahead of you to open hearts and by the way don't forget to ask your guardian angel to go too. They anxiously await our requests! And please...make sure you get out of the way of the Holy Spirit! Go Archangel Gabriel and all Guardian Angels!

Thank and praise YOU FATHER, thank and praise YOU JESUS, thank and praise YOU HOLY SPIRIT!

Terri Schindler Schiavo - December 3, 1963 - March 31, 2005

DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET - EWTN AUDIO

"Jesus said.... "I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world"(47).

"I want the image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it." (341)

"After the original image had been painted at the request of St. Faustina's confessor, he had it hung in the corridor of the convent instead of the church. Jesus then told St. Faustina, "Tell the confessor that the image is to be on view in the church and not within the enclosure of the convent it is in. By means of this image I shall be granting many graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it."(570)

"Yes the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must also be acts of mercy, and I demand the worship of My mercy through the solemn celebration of the Feast and through the veneration of the image which is painted. By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works" (742)
