History is unmistakably clear in this matter: every candidate, child or adult, was baptized, confirmed, and given Communion as part of a single initiation rite. This is the universal ancient Catholic Tradition. Anything else is less ancient and has no claim to universality. For centuries, this was also the tradition of the Church of Rome. In 417, Pope Innocent I in a doctrinal letter to the Fathers of the Synod of Milevis, teaches ...http://caelumetterra.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/denying-babies-communion-a-medieval-innovation/

We had two days to film both versions. St. Bonaventure in Huntington Beach, our family's church and the one I grew up at, was kind enough to let us film the DVD there. Fr. Knerr and the entire staff could not be more helpful to us. We handled casting and all principal photography all at St. Bonaventure.

Popes Have Faith in Colombian Tailor CLERICAL WHISPERS - April 11, 2013 To say Luis Abel Delgado of Cali occupies a special niche in the global rag trade is an understatement: He's made vestments for two Roman Catholic popes, as well as inaugural sashes for several Latin American presidents.

Irish Reformers Skeptical About Prospects for Change CLERICAL WHISPERS - April 7, 2013 Reform-minded Irish Catholics say Pope Francis is unlikely to improve the reputation of the Roman Catholic church as inflexible and out of touch, especially among the young. "The majority of young people would say they don't hate the church," said Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. "It's just that the church is irrelevant to them." Shortly after Francis' election last month, Martin spoke with U.S. student journalists in Ireland on a reporting trip.

Sex Abuse & The Wages of Celibacy A JESUIT'S JOURNEY - February 26, 2013 As I tried to note yesterday , there are two ways of interpreting the resignation of Scotland's Roman Catholic cardinal: either a confirmation that clerical celibacy is directly related to instances of sex abuse or that clergy abuse - and all forms of sexual abuse - are more expressive of an exploitation of power than they are of sex. To my mind, it's patently obvious that it is the latter issue. When one surveys the great swath of instances ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/JhpYE/~3/b042l-7PlNg/sex-abuse-wages-of-celibacy.html
