U.S. Celebrates Independence Day
Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It’s a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag.
Oh, and a reason (like you really need one?) to listen to the latest episode of Catholic Weekend!

Does God Just Speak English?
Many parishes around the country are struggling with changing demographics. How do we work toward making our “catholic” or “universal” namesake a reality? David and Allyson Sweeney discuss this issue in Catholic Family 147 – A House Divided.

The Harvest is Abundant
More than 30,000 Catholics gathered at the Georgia International Convention Center in College Park, GA June 24 & 25 for the 2011 Eucharistic Congress.
The theme for the free event, which helps people grow in their faith, was “The Harvest is Abundant”.
Speakers included Sister Olga, a nun from Iraq; Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops; and Mario St. Francis, a “techno missionary”.
The event began on Friday with mass led by Bishop Luis Zarama and followed by a healing service with Father Jack Durkin.

To Blog or Not to Blog…
Yesterday, the Vatican’s Pontifical Councils for Culture and Social Communications invited bloggers for dialog on May 2, the day after the beatification of Pope John Paul II. Twitter and Facebook filled up with re-posts of the information, garnering some real interest from those bloggers in a position to go to to Rome, and a lot of wishful thinking from the rest of us.
The lucky few to attend will surely be blogging about it soon enough, and the Catholic Weekend crew is looking forward to hearing more about this historic meeting. In the meantime, the conversation continues among bloggers, including Rocco Palmo’s Whispers in the Loggia and Brian H. Gill’s A Catholic Citizen in America among others.
Check out the latest Catholic Weekend show, where Maria Johnson, Deb Schaben, and Capt. Jeff discuss this and more… listen here

In the photo that accompanies this article, Pope Benedict is holding an iPad. Does he own and use an iPad? I wonder if he uses an iPad when he celebrates Mass?

Fool’s Brigade
The origins of April Fool’s Day seems to be rooted in the shift to the Gregorian calendar in the 1500′s. It was an amazing move on the part of Pope Gregory XIII because he stepped outside his religious influence and introduced a calendar that eventually became the widely adopted civic calendar.
Prior to that, the new year was celebrated beginning on March 25 and ended an octave later on April 1st. The change in the calendar moved the first day of the year to January 1st.
One legend tell us that those folks still celebrating on April 1st were considered somewhat backward and sent on Fool’s errands, which eventually evolved into the tradition of widespread pranks.
Father Roderick, Captain Jeff, and Beth Spellacy discuss April Fool’s Pranks and the how one prank in particular led to the collaboration known today as SQPN.com. Listen here.
