Hat tip to Master Paul Xavier at Catholic Discussion for defending the faith. He has over one hundred comments on his post about the movie Religulous and is fending off several atheists at once. The name of the movie is a contraction of “Religion” and “Ridiculous” and seems to be the usual tripe from Bill Maher. Maybe you could give him a hand with a comment or two, but really he is holding the fort on his own. Good job Paul!

Homily #100501 ( 14min) Play – Today, on the Feast of St Joseph the Worker, Fr. Bonaventure preaches on how St. Joseph is the true model of a worker who centers all his work around his Son, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. Father contrasts this to the atheistic, Communist “May Day” celebrations, also on this day, which Pius XII counteracted by establishing this feast in 1955.

The post Jun 15 – Homily – Fr Tito: Trinity Sunday 2014 first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Simeon prophesied that Jesus would be a sign of contradiction, and we see that in today’s Gospel. The raising of Lazarus lead some to believe in Him, but others to harden their hearts against Him. In this, Jesus’ words in the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man are confirmed, even if someone were to rise from the dead, they would not believe. One such who didn’t believe was the High Priest Caiaphas, who said it was better for one man to die than the whole nation. In this, God spoke through him, but not meaning the short-viewed political concerns of Caiaphas, but meaning the redemption of all mankind. Here the last High Priest prophesies the investiture of the new High Priest. God willed to redeem us through the Cross in order to win our hearts by this proof of His love. If His Passion and Death can’t do this, nothing will. We must believe this, but our ruin would be to fail to ponder and enter into these great mysteries, being mindful that Jesus died for all men, but also for each of us individually.
Ave Maria!

St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, aka Edith Stein, was a woman of great faith, like the woman in today’s Gospel. The question is: do we have such faith, to put all our trust in Jesus Christ?

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Sep 07, 2021, on how atheism is an empty and selective philosophy, highlighting the contradiction of the new chaplain of Harvard being an atheist. He goes onto the logical contradiction of atheism as well its roots where Pope Pius X in his encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis in 1907 where he pointed out that Protestantism started the sequence where getting rid of the mediator role of the Chruch that Christ established results in the removal of God is next. This same pope points out how this follows in regard to philosophy in modern times that denies the ability to know essences, and thus God.
