Two Marian objections are dealt with on this weeks vlog. The first is that Catholics commit idolatry by their use of statues and pictures of our Lady and the second is that the Rosary is a type of prayer which our Lord condemned in the Gospels. On both points Catholics

Fr. Ben Luedtke gives the twelfth of twenty-five conferences for his Eight Day Ignatian Retreat. The subjects he covers are: View point from Jerusalem (Christ’s) vs. Babylon (Satan’s) how we must get rid of this view that is contrary to God that is a downdraft the pulls us away from God, to deceive us. How we must avoid concupiscence, pride of life. How Christ and his angels lifts us up to God who is all love. Ideas and images and their spiritual effects, desires and their effects.

About the retreat:   The retreat was conducted by Fr. Ben Luedtke who has condensed St. Ignatius’ classic thirty day spiritual exercises into an eight day retreat that makes this life changing spiritual experience more accessible to the average person. It consists of twenty-five conferences (recorded in this video series), which are used by those on retreat along with further reflections given to them as handouts to base their hour long meditations which they make after each conference. The typical day consists of three of these conferences, one in the morning, afternoon and evening. Fr. Ben also gave them private spiritual direction and Mass each day. The retreat took place at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center in Bloomington, IN from Oct 9-17th, 2016. Father usually gives these retreats at this retreat center in the spring and fall of each year. See his website for other times and places or to arrange one near you.
