Some of the free programming includes Michael Voris' almost-daily weblog "The Vortex" (where lies and falsehoods are trapped...and exposed) in which Michael does just that: finds lies wthin and without the Catholic Church and works to expose them, so that reconciliation and tighter incorporation into the body of Jesus is more expedient. In The Vortex, Michael tackles almost any misunderstanding and problem you could imagine, in an oft pithy, but true commentary and will always leave you better educated than when you began searching!

The Vortex can also be found on Youtube! Find the user RealCatholicTV and subscribe!

Enchiridion Symbolorum - Denzinger

Peace be with you!

The Enchiridion Symbolorum is a book which traces the history and development of Catholic doctrine.
As such, it is an extremely important document. I find particularly interesting the development of the Apostle's Creed.

The book has many nicknames:

The "Denzinger"
The Sources of Catholic Dogma
Denzinger-Schonmetzer
DS
Enchiridion
Enchiridion Symbolorum

It is also a very interesting document because of its Catholicity, and utility in apologetics, and it can be found online at these addresses:

RSS and Google Reader

Peace be with you!

RSS = Really Simple Syndication

A Really Simple Definition:

An RSS "feed" is a short bit of news that can be sent to you in (almost) realtime. It is most useful when coming from websites which are updated very frequently.

How do you receive RSS feeds?

In order to have RSS feeds sent to you, you need to have something called a "reader". The reader organizes RSS feeds so you can be organized.

Here is a good and easy reader:

Google Reader --> http://reader.google.com/
You need a Google account in order to use the reader. So go get a Google account!

The RSS symbol

This is the RSS symbol:

The symbol is usually found in the corner of the webpage.

What if I cannot find it?

If you cannot find it, press ctrl+f and type in "RSS".

If you still cannot find it, type RSS in the website's search engine.

When I find it, what do I do?

When you find the RSS link, click it. You will be brought to another webpage. Sometimes, you will need to click a very specific type of RSS feed. You will finally be brought to a webpage with headlines. If you look at the website address, you will notice that it ends in .xml, .rss, or .xtml. Copy this website address.

Return to Google Reader and...

Return to Google reader, click the "Add Subscription" button on the top left of the page.

A little window will appear and you will paste the RSS website address into the empty text bar. Click "Add".

Finally...

Be patient. It will start soon. Some websites update often, some never update. You need to test them!

Go in the peace of Christ!

Word on Fire - Fr. Robert Barron

Peace be with you!

There is a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago whose name is Father Robert Barron. Bishop Dolan of New York likens Fr. "Bob" to a modern-day Archbishop Fulton Sheen. People have called him "the best speaker I've ever heard". See what you think!

Fr. Robert Barron has a website called "Word on Fire" and it can be found following this link: http://www.wordonfire.org/

Fr. Barron uses the new media to propagate the message of Catholicism and he does it in a persuasive and effective way! For instance, Fr. Barron is working on a 10 part series called "Catholicism" in which he travels all over the world and tells the story of the Catholic Church in a way more compelling than anyone in this present age. Information can be found under the "Catholicism" tab on the website http://www.wordonfire.org/.

Fr. Robert Barron also engages the culture through short segments on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/), where he does movie commentary, debate with atheists, and basic catechism in a profound way. His videos are under the usernames wordonfirevideo and wordonfirevideo2. Not only does Fr. Barron post videos, but he also debates other youtube users with the accuracy and execution of a master thinker, presenting the truth of our faith in an understandable and powerful way. Dr. Scott Hahn and Fr. Barron also do some discussions together on youtube.

I will dare to say that Fr. Robert Barron is a voice crying in the wilderness for our times. He is engaging the new media: internet, TV, and web 2.0, and he is making the Catholic presence felt, respected, and understood.
