FSSP Sermons (podcasts)

I drive an hour each way to work 4 days a week so I'm always looking for quality podcasts to listen to.

Father Tim Finigan of The Hermeneutic of Continuity posted a link last week to www.audiosancto.com . I subscribed to their feed via iTunes so I'll have good listening for many weeks/months to come. I've listened to several of them already and these priests are excellent!

You Can't Legislate Morality

That slippery slope better known as Texas versus Lawrence continues its downhill slide. It is being used as the basis for arguments for gay adoption, polygamy and now incest.

"When we first read some of the language about dignity and how the state doesn't have a right to impose its moral code on its citizens, we thought this decision would be extremely powerful and widely followed," Katine told TIME. "I am disappointed that the lower courts have not followed some of the language that is contained in Lawrence."

Note the argument in the Times article that society cannot "legislate morality".

Oh really? Catholics know that argument is nonsense. For an excellent refutation of that argument, listen to Mark Shea's 6-minute podcast on this very topic. His talk was so clear and easy to understand that I loaded it onto my iPod and brought it into the nineth grade CCD class I was teaching.

Here's the link to Catholic Exchange's Rock Solid podcast archive page, look for the podcast on January 15th.

Stuff for Your iPods

For those of you who got an iPod for Christmas, you can get Greg and Jennifer Wilits of Rosary Army saying the 4 sets of Rosary Mysteries (Glorious, Luminous, Joyful and Sorrowful). They are dated October 5, 2005 in the archive. Download them, import them into iTunes and put them on your iPod. They have a beautiful scripture for each of the 20 mysteries.

Special EWTN podcast - Get a Life in Christ

EWTN frequently republishes some its shows as mp3s via their iTune feed. In May (5/1/2006), they republished a series by Father Benedict Groeschel on helping the Church in these difficult times. How to write a letter to the pastor, bishop, etc, how to form a committee to address a particular issue, etc.

Here's a link to the set of EWTN podcast feeds. I orginally subscribed to the whole set of feeds so I get everything.
