CU Episode 84: Ketchup Chips Without a Permit.
With Fr. Chris podcasting live from Toronto this week, the cu crew talks about the back to school rush (or lack thereof) and some ways you might remain Catholic while heading there. We offer up our picks of the week for your perusal. the cu metro rolls on: begging a right says the Vatican, unfortunate events in Beijing, and the papal prayer intentions for August. Backchat heads to its vacation spot one more week, and Fr. Ryan talks about his one great Canadian love…if you wait for it.
Fr. Chris is coming to us from the Great White North of Canada and from the Salt+Light Studios.
We begin with the I Feel Rich iPhone app. It’s crazy. See also this.
It’s back to school time and we’re talking about the education of Children.
Pope John Paul II: 2004 SYMPOSIUM ON CATHOLIC EDUCATION: “To give youth a future, it is important that education be understood as a search for the integral and harmonious development of the person, as the maturation of the moral conscience to discern good and act accordingly, and as attention to the spiritual dimension of young people as they develop.”
Pope John Paul II: 2004 SYMPOSIUM ON CATHOLIC EDUCATION: “True education must start from the truth about man, the affirmation of his dignity and transcendent vocation. Looking at every young person in this anthropological perspective means seeking to help him develop the best of himself so that in exercising all his skills he may carry out whatever God calls him to do.”
Romans 12:2: “I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing. So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And what you heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will have the ability to teach others as well.”
2 Timothy 2:1-2: “So you, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And what you heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will have the ability to teach others as well.”
