Catholic Carnival XXXX: Strength in Diversity
Every week I’m amazed at the diversity of posts and subjects presented in the Catholic Carnival – and this week is no exception. No matter your viewpoint, you will find a compelling point made or introspective meditation that you will enjoy. So go ahead, dig in:
CBC issues call for the Church to be subservient to the State at Angry in the Great White North. The government-funded CBC network in Canada airs a call for the Catholic Church to be regulated by the government. Scary? Yes . . .
At least carrying all those heavy books prepared me for carrying a toddler at bearing blog is perhaps my favorite post of this Carnival. She asks, “Is education wasted on the at-home mother” – and she answers it excellently.
Whig Thomists vs. Augustinian Thomists at la nouvelle theologie provides resources in regards to a multi-decade long debate among orthodox Catholic scholars on how we should approach certain government systems. (Also take a look at the link to an earlier debate in the comments, which inspired this post).
Cardinal Schönborn and evolution at Respectful Insolence examines Cardinal Schönborn recent comments on evolution in light of Pope John Paul II’s earlier statements.
A Botched Suicide Attack at Kicking Over My Traces considers the meaning behind poignant shrapnel left behind after a truck bomb explodes.
The Peter Pan-ing of Culture at Our Word and Welcome to It starts with a First Things article and muses on the difficulties adults have in growing up. It’s a fascinating read.
Buying Our Treasure at HMS Blog meditates on what is asked of us in the parable of the treasure in the field, from Sunday’s Gospel. He pulls out some excellent points we should all consider.
Supermen for God at A Penitent Blogger inspires us to consider how God can work in us personally.
From Parochial and Plain Sermons at Quenta Nârwenion offers us the wisdom of Venerable John Henry Newman on the way we resist repentance. As always, this quote is very insightful.
Our Family may be a Circus, but We aren’t Freaks at Confessions of a Hot Carmel Sundae defends large families and asks “why the stigma.” (Don’t stop reading before you get to the last paragraph!)
Being Open to Life: An Uphill Battle at Ales Rarus is written by edey to celebrate the 37th Anniversary of Humanae Vitae. She writes, "Unfortunately, statistics show that 97% of Catholics use artificial contraception. If you are one of the 3% who is trying to live Church teaching and trying to find a doctor who shares your values, it can be an uphill battle."
Evolving the Church’s Online Presence at Salvific Design looks at how the Catholic church uses online design and wonders if it could be better.
Lust to Just at Crusader of Justice uses a quote from Dante's Inferno to illuminate modern life.
How often do you pray the Lord’s Prayer? at Deo Omnis Gloria uses the Our Father to explain why repetition in prayer is not condemned by the Bible.
And this site submits Has the Catholic Church decided on whether Women can become Priests?, which answers the question that seems to be burning in the minds of American media.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s Carnival as much as I did.
God bless,
Jay
