Excellent post by George Weigel on liturgical music (or lack thereof).

Heretical Hymns?

Our Mission

I would like to share some words of Pope Benedict XVI's which beautifully describe the mission of this blog:

“I would like then to invite Christians, confidently and with an informed and responsible creativity, to join the network of relationships which the digital era has made possible. This is not simply to satisfy the desire to be present, but because this network is an integral part of human life. The web is contributing to the development of new and more complex intellectual and spiritual horizons, new forms of shared awareness. In this field too we are called to proclaim our faith that Christ is God, the Savior of humanity and of history, the one in whom all things find their fulfillment (cf. Eph 1:10). The proclamation of the Gospel requires a communication which is at once respectful and sensitive, which stimulates the heart and moves the conscience; one which reflects the example of the risen Jesus when he joined the disciples on the way to Emmaus (cf. Lk 24:13-35). By his approach to them, his dialogue with them, his way of gently drawing forth what was in their heart, they were led gradually to an understanding of the mystery.”

My hope is that this blog will be a forum where Catholic bloggers are united in faith and charity, where spiritual and intellectual horizons can be formed, where the authors and readers can challenge each other to a greater spiritual awareness; most of all, I hope this blog will be a place where the Gospel is proclaimed and God is glorified.
