God bless you Father Corapi.
Indeed, God bless and keep him.
He really hammers it home. Indeed, Merry Christmas Fr. Corapi.
God bless all of you on this Christmas day and throughout the New Year!
I am not Catholic but I love this guy. He is GREAT. I wish I went to his church daily.
a very popular theme, it seems.
you can go to his church daily, the Catholic church, but i will concede it is unfortunately uncommon to hear such preaching at too many Catholic churches
Or try www.wdtprs.com and check out a terrific blog by a priest who was in the same ordination class; both were ordained by Pope John Paul II in 1992 IIRC
is there such a thing?
From one end of the social spectrum to the other, it seems like Americans feel really, really guilty for being Americans; almost as if they are begging someone to call fire and brimstone down upon themselves (along with the rest of us, who would much rather not have to sit through that).
I recall from scriptures that some disciples once offered to call fire and brimstone down upon a city that didn't welcome Jesus and said, "No." In another place, he told disciples, "pray that you wiil be able to escape all that is coming on the world and that you'll be able to stand before the Son of Man."
Whether or not the collective morbid anticipation that seems to wrack anyone with a microphone or a keyboard is fulfilled, don't ever forget that this is the one nation on earth where you, dear citizen, are directly responsible for its fate.
Merry Christmas.
I want to go where he speaks everday. He is one of a kind.
I have heard he is sick, possibly with cancer. He doesn’t get out as much
We went over to church Wednesday afternoon to deliver our Christmas presents to the priests and deacons . . . and found our young Parochial Vicar pounding away on his computer keyboard . . . he was contributing to Father Z’s blog. It’s wonderful to see the young priests so orthodox and on fire — we’re going to need them to keep our hearts up in the days ahead.
Good homily. God bless Fr. Corapi.
No I don’t want any persecution; I want to grow very old and die in my bed even with 401k money left. But the USA as a whole has first tolerated perversity and now we’re on the verge of substantial persecution of Christians. The natural law says bad things happen to peoples that as a matter of principle prefer evil and actually enshrine it with legal privileges...We are supposed to love our country. How does a patriot love this imposter Uncle Sam?
that blog is amazing...I can’t believe it is allowed to exist, recalling all the trouble Mother A had some years ago
the most vocal among us are not patriots. they're pussies, sponging off the work of patriots.
Not sure who Fr. Z's bishop is, but I think he's based in Rome so he doesn't have to contend with the goofier American heterodox bishops, who at any rate have far less power than when Mother A locked horns with them.
Times have changed but you’re right also, Fr Z is based in Rome so liberal leaning Archbishop Flynn of Minneapolis had little control over him. I had forgotten that. Now Minneapolis has a more outspoken orthodox bishop anyway.
(and may His Holiness Benedict XVI live for a hundred years, to appoint MANY more bishops!)
