Cardinal Wurel is as off his rocker as ever... I mean who knew that it is a bad idea to give communion to Catholic Politicians who dissent from church teachings? Or that people who fully disclose and state that they are heretics but still want to receive communion shouldn't ? I don't know maybe Cardinal Burke was just trying to point out these things to Cardinal Wurel and he just didn't want to listen. And now he has the power granted to him and he wants to call the shots when he wouldn't listen to the person who was in power over him? OBEDIENCE is the number one thing that this situation has nothing to do with...

cool... think that might be the Church that Andy Warhol used to go to... I know right where it is... It would have been nice to be back there for something so special.

Thanks for the news.

Thanks Father Reto. I just went to Eucharistic Congress here in Taiwan and it was such a strange mix. The Mass had liturgical dancing, but after the Mass they had a very wonderful Eucharistic Adoration and procession. Then after the Mass was done when we were going home and waiting for our bus my wife saw our Parish priest messaging a teenage girl in a way that she felt was very inappropriate. Now my wife refuses to go back to that parish or let my children go there, and for a pretty strong reason. I am at a loss as to what to do. I have been to almost all of the Parishes in the area and this one was the best one for our family.

Anyway, you message is a very clear explanation to what is going on, thanks...

This is the May 23rd 3rd hour of the Drew Mariani Show. During this Hour Drew Spoke about a new book on the "Spirituality of George Washington" and Our Lady of America. It is brought to the listeners attention that George Washington allegedly had an apparition of Our Blessed Mother Mary and that some how this was helpful to Benjamin Franklin, both of whom were Masons at the time. George Washington, who is claimed to have converted on his death bed to Catholicism was a life long Mason, at least that is what I have been told, and so was Ben Franklin. Also in the interview Masonry is portrayed as being something that wasn't being condemned by the Church back at the time of the founding of the USA. This is false and Masonry was being condemned almost as soon it was founded. Please be cautious in what you listen to on "Catholic Media."

Well if this man has a history of this medical condition it would probably be recorded somewhere wherever he is from or by someone who knows him. If there is no evidence of this in his history then is not possible that this is a miracle. Now, just because some things related to Medjugorje are rather questionable, it doesn't exclude that some things may be legitimate. These things related to Medjugorje just seem more and more complicated and confusing as they go along.

Now this article is from the China Daily but act like the US is some great tried and true defender or the internet security is a ridiculous thought. The US absolutely spies on its own people, tries to control the internet and media in the same way as China, or they at least try to with Government induced influences. To say that there is no truth in this article is the way many Americans like to live, with their heads in the sand thinking everything is just a o.k. it's all smiles and sunshine until the target you.
I am an American living in Taiwan, a country so often said to be a part of China but it isn't, at least just not yet. I have a lot of trouble accessing some US websites, and the more I find out about it, it is because I am in TAIWAN. Or it is also very very difficult to access US media because of my location. I couldn't let my kids watch some cartoons on youtube just because I am in Taiwan, which is a free democratic country not yet apart of China, but the UN says that it is a part of China so everybody seems to say that it is.

BE VERY VERY CAREFUL WITH US PROPOGANDA!! The US has no love for us Catholics...

I am not surprised by this egregious actions by the pagan Taiwanese government which likes to try and make itself look like the are just like everyone else without trying to understand any situation. The government in Taiwan is a big joke and it is a nation run by some of the awfulist money worshiping pagans presently in this end of China.
It's kind of funny to because the current president has been cozying up to the Church here with a lot of political events untilizing the Church. Now his political opposition has been taking up the position of being more progressive, pro-"gay marriage", greater independence and relations with the USA and Japan. The vice-president of Taiwan's receiving of communion is a kind of political posturing that will only cost his party its position of present rule in Taiwan and will only push Taiwan the path of the greater potential of China crushing Taiwan rather that the Vice Presidents and his political parties desire to assimilate with China. Please pray for Taiwan.

"Bread and butter" and Dolan just don't mix. I hope Morlino isn't becoming more of a Dolanite from Wisconsin. Morlino (bishop of Green Bay) and Dolan (former bishop of Madison) are playing some odd rhetoric games that makes me question what are they up to? Pretty soon they will both be wearing those cheesehead hats together...

I believe the Catholic Church is the "Universal" Church so what goes in the US or Argentina should go pretty much anywhere, just stating the obvious.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know that about Maryknoll. They have quite a presence here in Taiwan. They do most the education of foreign priests who come here to learn how to speak Chinese. They also have a website to teach priests how to preform the Novus Ordo Mass, but the Translation they use is here on this website. It has some minor flaws in the Translation and representation of the pinyin in the of the Order of the Mass. I cannot say with complete assurance to how badly some of the translations are because I have not translated it in its entirety but from the responses of the laity it has some confusing usage of words.

Well the Readings for December 30th say something about not being seduced by worldly things that are enticing to the eyes... Those who succumb to such things are not to be worthy of the kingdom of heaven..

Ya know hypnosis isn't exactly a fast process..
