Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Seems as though a Cardinal in the Church would like to have a ruling council… Supposedly this council would be to help run the Church. He comes off as though this was something that was stipulated by Vatican II. This supposedly would be made up of Cardinals and possibly the presidents of the national bishops…

Obviously, today is Good Friday… At once the most sorrowful and most joyous of days in the history of man. Today we abstain from meat and fast. That means no meat but fish or seafood and 2 small meals that add up to no more than the 3rd. Of course we are free to do…

Interesting article over on Newsmax.com about how Reagan may have been saved by angels during a bout of pneumonia and after being shot… Mentions specifically female “nurses” who helped him, though he was never able to find them later. So maybe the Blessed Mother helped take care of Renaldus Magnus during his time of need?

Article on Yahoo… Seems as though Kerry really doesn’t care that the Pope has urged all pro-abort pols to abstain from the Eucharist until/unless they return to Church teaching. How can anyone not realize that this is a non-negotiable item? If materially participating in an abortion gets you an automatic excommunication, don’t you think that…

Was listening to EWTN a couple of days ago and the priest was talking about the Real Presence and several other topics. He made the point that the tabernacle is the heart of every parish in the world. Why? Because it contains the Real Presence of Christ, body, blood, soul and divinity in the Most…

Since the slogan here is Positive Catholic Attitude, I thought a top 10 list would be a good idea… Here they are, in no particular order. 1. Receiving the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the Most Blessed Sacrament. 2. Receiving absolution for my sins in the confessional. 3. The…

Just read the first part of a column by Phil Brennan over at NewsMax.com. Phil is a great writer and recently has really been standing up for the Faith. Here is a piece of the article… In St. Louis on a campaign stop Killer Kerry backed away from a confrontation with St. Louis Archbishop Raymond…

OK… Let’s get this bad boy off officially. Still some work to be done, but no sense waiting till all the i’s are crossed and t’s are dotted… (That’s a joke, son. I keep pitchin’ `em son and you keep missin’ `em – Apologies to Foghorn Leghorn) CatholicManiacs… Sounds like a bunch of them weirdo,…
