Unbenownest to many, there is a cloistered comtemplative Benedictine monastery in northeastern Oklahoma. This monastery, a daughterhouse of Fontgombault in France, preserves the Latin liturgy in this little slice of Heaven. I have posted a documentary I made on the monastery. Enjoy!

It seems it is the standard these days at Holy Mass to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord in the hand during Communion. I urge you to prayerfully consider receiving Holy Communion on the tongue as a norm.
San Francisco City Government Calls Catholics ‘Hateful, Discriminatory, Insulting, Ignorant’
The Board of Supervisors of the City of San Francisco is criticizing former SF Archbishop Levada and the Catholic Church for a document the bishop issued that forbids Catholic Charities to allow same-sex couples to adopt. Wow, San Francisco. It’s sad that a city with the namesake of such a great saint has become so demoralized.
It has been nearly a year since Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger took the name Benedict XVI as pontifex maximus of the Roman Catholic Church. Filling the shoes of a truly great pope, the new Holy Father has a lot to live up to. When the smoke announcing a new pope billowed this past April, I didn’t know what to think. But the local priest seemed exited. Apparently this German cardinal was supposed to be a bulwark of orthodoxy. So how has he done thus far?
On-campus condom dispensers will help curb future generations
SGA’s approval of condom machines in the residence halls demonstrates our ignorance of human sexuality. These machines won’t “promote sexual health;” on the contrary, they will promote sex solely as recreation while suppressing its procreative nature. Once we have this mentality, then “disease” and “pregnancy” become equated, as we have witnessed in the articles in the O’Commy over the past few days. When this equation is formed, preventing or getting rid of human life is not only acceptable, but promoted.
If the University really wants to show it cares about its students, the administration won’t let this ridiculous recommendation go any further.
