The Thrilling Truth in 25 Easy Steps
The below was written for a friend that is struggling with their faith. It is a 25 step progression proving God’s existence and that he created the Catholic Church for our salvation. It is beautifully written.
Please share with everybody you can.
——————————————————————————-
Let’s look at the most basic facts of the case, in 25 steps.
1. We are here. You are, in fact, here and exist.
2. None of us put ourselves here, not you, not I. This is true of all humans.

We also need first to be receivers, to be open to what is not ourselves so that we are able to respond to what is.
– Fr. James V. Schall

Seminarians and the Latin Mass
This month hundreds of young men, having discerned a vocation to the priesthood, are commencing this journey by entering the seminary. Several hundred graduate theology students are also returning to seminary as they move ever closer to ordination, God willing. As it has been over seven years since Pope Benedict XVI issued Summorum Pontificum, it is both timely and appropriate to see how much support seminaries are demonstrating for the Latin Mass through the liturgical formation of these young men.
During the course of researching this I interviewed nearly a dozen priests and seminarians. Specifically I wanted to know whether or not seminaries in the United States are currently training the men in their charge to offer both forms of the Roman Rite. I soon discovered that seminaries simply respond to the priorities and agendas of the dioceses from which they receive the majority of their seminarians, and therein…
