Links for 02/20/15 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: With the codicil that Homilies are mostly reflections by the celebant of the Gospel of the day, it is interesting that this particular homiliy could both apply to drug dealers and revolutionaries who seek the Church as a cover for their reputations as well as for Capitalists like those of the Napa Institute, who endow Catholic Univeristy for some of their apologetics.
On Meaghan Clark's new book, when rights are merely indiviudual, whether or not they are God given (and they are) they are never really effective if they are only enforceable if the authorities get caught abusing them in a trial or the shooting of a teenager. They must life in the hearts of everyone or they are a bone of contention - a point to be won in Court - which takes away from their inalienability. As for the doctrine, all teaching is found there - although Guadium et Spes seems to argue for is adaptablity for each generation - which is mostly bad news for conservatives who want the rules to never change and their privileges to stay the same as well (including pollution of their own property and the commons as long as no one files a lawsuit).
We have our Lenten hymn. I wonder if the Lenten time, which was formerly one of privation, was even more spiriutal in its call to God for help, then the long hours of Chistmas. Anyway, link on the album cover to hear something nice. I am still waiting for the Chants of Benediction, which so moved me when I was a mere youth and newly confirmed. Sadly, my daughter does not have such an attraction to this music, at least not yet. God comes to all in their own time.
