This sermon is about how to get your kids to heaven in 15 minutes a day. The featured image is Holy Ghost parish in downtown Denver. Some families of this parish used the Baltimore Catechism in the 1980s, and it paid off.

It would be helpful (but not necessary) to have the layman's 1962 Missal on hand to learn the power of this old Missal. The featured image above is St. Francis Xavier whose propers of the Mass we will consider in this "podclass."

“The Office” Catholics

By Father David Nix|2019-05-18T15:11:32+00:00November 19th, 2017|Life|

The Office is not a particularly edifying TV show and I would not recommend it for its secular world view. I’ve never seen the UK version of The Office and I’ve only seen a few episodes of the American version. Still, it struck me this week that the personalities (not the religious or political views) but the personalities of The Office characters seem to reflect the very personalities attracted to various movements of American Catholicism in the 21st century. Notice equal-opportunity target-practice below: JPII Catholics≈Jim These are the young Catholics who want to make Catholicism look relevant. Jim Halpert is no neo-conservative on the TV show, but his [...]

Superfuit Sunday

By Father David Nix|2019-04-05T04:29:43+00:00November 19th, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Today is the Sixth Sunday which remains after Epiphany. "Superfuit" is Latin for "remain" or "survive," because these readings remain from the Sundays of the calendar year prior to Septuagesima Sunday earlier this year. This is so we can get through all the readings before the last Sunday of the ecclesial year (next week.) Most of today's sermon is actually taken from St. John Chrysostom's words on St. Matthew chapter 13, the Gospel for today. The other person in the feature-image is St. Gregory the Wonderworker. Both are early Turkish saints, mentioned in this sermon.

Fulton Sheen’s Little Heroine

By guest|2017-11-18T00:12:55+00:00November 17th, 2017|Theology|

The only person to reach more people for Christ on television than Billy Graham was a Catholic bishop named Archbishop Fulton Sheen from Illinois, later bishop in New York. Every Tuesday night, starting in the 1950s, up to 10 million Americans from all faiths tuned in to his TV Show, Life Is Worth Living. Not only Catholics, but many older Jewish people fondly remember tuning in to his Tuesday evening show about God. Venerable Fulton Sheen also traveled the world and raised millions of dollars for foreign missions in poor countries. He is credited with converting the following to the Catholic Faith: Agnostic writer Heywood Broun, politician Clare Boothe Luce, [...]

This is class 1 on teaching the 1962 layman's missal, but people who go to the Ordinary Mass or Divine Liturgy will learn a lot, too, because linked here is the meditation for each part of the Holy Mass according to St. Francis De Sales, and that comprises part of this "podclass."
