RomeCast 2
In today's podcast, we hear Oz' conversion story. Oz will be my co-host for every Thursday's RomeCast as we dwell into news and commentary on the Catholic world. Today I also talk about a new Benziger Brothers re-make of Parish Ritual that includes all the old sacraments of the Roman Rite in both Latin and English.

World Religions Part II: The Exclusive, All-Embracing Cross
Because this blog post will inevitably raise the question "Who can be saved?" I would like to give the two bookends within which all Catholic orthodox answers must fall. One the one end, Pope Pius IX wrote, "By Faith it is to be firmly held that outside the Apostolic Roman Church none can achieve salvation. This is the only ark of salvation. He who does not enter into it, will perish in the flood. Nevertheless equally certainly it is to be held that those who suffer from invincible ignorance of the true religion, are not, for this reason, guilty in the eyes of the Lord." (Denzinger 1647, Ott 312.) Invincible [...]

RomeCast 1
In today's first RomeCast podcast, we introduce our Tuesday co-host, Andromeda. She tells her family story and a little of her conversion. We then jump into the news. Both of us coincidentally chose news stories about secularists harassing pro-lifers in both Europe and the United States, the latter being the civil rights attorney Brian Sims publicly harassing children. That video is embedded below (not on any podcast app) but rather on my blog via Twitter. (We will definitely be shorter in the future, but this intro of Andromeda is well worth a first good, long RomeCast.) https://twitter.com/LilaGraceRose/status/1125517225757007872

Harry Potter’s Effects on Children
I recently put up a FB post about JK Rowling's fictional character Cassandra Vablatsky. Vablatsky is the fictional character who wrote the textbook Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as mentioned in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Even Harry Potter's "fandom" website admits that Vablatsky was named after famous Russian Satanist, Helena Blavatsky. Under this FB post, I had 223 comments before publication of this blog post. One thing I later remarked is that it would be harder to pry from the hands of a Colorado teen his or her pot than Harry Potter novels! Such a disproportionate response shows some preternatural involvement. But what proves the preternatural (diabolical) side [...]

World Religions Part I: Three Options
CS Lewis once wrote, “Religion is man’s search for God, but Christianity is God’s search for man.” Whereas Divine Revelation only allows for one true religion, I believe that all of the current religions of the world can be boiled down to only three sustainable philosophies. Or, at least I believe that only three world philosophies could possibly coordinate to the desires of a post-modern man. Epicureanism is to live for pleasure, but the original Greek promoter of hedonism, Epicurus (4th century BC), was more like an LA pot-smoker than a fast-paced NYC coke addict (something we usually think of when we think of the word “hedonism.”) This is because [...]
