Digest Of Indulgences

This is a digest[1] of the works and prayers listed in the Enchiridion of Indulgences. The Enchiridion recites each indulgenced prayer in full.

It started with legalising a women’s right to kill her baby in 1973. Since that decision, until 2008, 50 million abortions[1] have been performed, just in the United States of America.

Rash Misinterpretation Of Vatican II

I felt that it is definitely worthwhile to share with you this letter, which was written by Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, former secretary of the CDW, to participants in the 20th General Assembly of the FIUV (Foederatio Internationalis Una Voce) held in Rome.

Why Confess To A Priest

Here is an excellent video clip that offers an explanation of why we must confess our sins to a priest. As we start the new year it may be worthwhile for us to consider more frequent confession. 

Te Deum

Te Deum, also sometimes called the Ambrosian Hymn because if its association with St. Ambrose, is a traditional hymn of joy and thanksgiving. 

Why Speculate About Pope Benedict XVI's Health

Just before Christmas our only Catholic newspaper in South Africa, The Southern Cross, chose to post, on its Facebook page, a random story from the Chicago Sun-Times about Pope Benedict XVI’s ailing health.

Frustrated At Inability To Get Marriage Annulled

Here is an extremely interesting post from Fr. Z’s Blog, one of the Blogs that I follow. It involves a topic that I have frequently encountered in discussion amongst Catholics and therefore I thought it would be useful to share it. You can read it below or at source here…
