"Fatti Maschii Parole Femine"

Sometimes translated as, "Strong deeds, gentle words." Often described as being in Italian.

However, my old French teacher insisted on, "Manly deeds, womanly words." And he'd tell me it was from a dialect of Provencale.

Or do you mean the reverse of the state's seal?

"Scuto bonae voluntatis tuae coronasti nos"

"With favor wilt thou compass us as with a shield" Ps 5:12.

there are far more "liberal" catholic churches ( i use those terms loosely ) that finding one with a real crucifix and a tabernacle behind the altar is rare. i know of four in this whole area. the rest are of the modernist "community is christ" persuasion that is hard to accept.

even traveling to San Diego 2 yrs ago, i was taken to a newer church outside of chula vista that was a cement lovers paradise, but with no church aura or tabenacle or crucifix.

to one of these churches i donated some real Stations-of-the-Cross to replace the simple wood markers ( with no design on them )currently hanging in the auditotium church, and while the pastor liked them. the 2 "faith Fomation" actuall leaders of this church ( one an ex-nun, the other , and ex-priest ) said no. and they were never displayed.

Thanks; I'm doing well, but busy -- which is better than the alternative, isn't it? I have a job and a house that didn't flood. My parents and one sister did flood, so I'm doing what I can for them. Our parish is doing fine, and people are starting to come back. I don't know what to expect about revenue, but hope St. Patrick's won't have to lay anyone off.

New Orleans is going to be a smaller city for sure. Everything else is guesswork for the time being.

I am spending my free time thinking about gratitude for all the favors I've received, and the fact that gratitude is another word for eucharist. Rich people don't have much time for gratitude, but the poor sure do. Maybe that's why Jesus predicted that the rich will have such a hard time of it; they never think to ask for help because their true need isn't always before them. I think we've been stripped bare here as a blessing, to give this Catholic city a chance to discover holiness. This is a year of the eucharist for sure.

This thread was revived by accident; the List is not current, and as you can imagine I have no time to bring it up to date now.

Thanks for the post!

Eastern Catholic prelates incense the body of JPII while chanting the prayers for the dead.

May I make a recommendation? The Catholic Church is both Western and Eastern. As most of us realize, the Church began in the East. Our Lord lived and died and resurrected in the Holy Land. The Church spread from Jerusalem throughout the known world. As the Church spread, it encountered different cultures and adapted, retaining from each culture what was consistent with the Gospel. In the city of Alexandria, the Church became very Egyptian; in Antioch it remained very Jewish; in Rome it took on an Italian appearance and in the Constantinople it took on the trappings of the Roman imperial court. All the churches which developed this way were Eastern, except Rome. Most Catholics in the United States have their roots in Western Europe where the Roman rite predominated. It has been said that the Eastern Catholic Churches are "the best kept secret in the Catholic Church."

The Vatican II Council declared that "all should realize it is of supreme importance to understand, venerate, preserve, and foster the exceedingly rich liturgical and spiritual heritage of the Eastern churches, in order faithfully to preserve the fullness of Christian tradition" (Unitatis Redintegrato, 15). Pope John Paul II said that "the Catholic Church is both Eastern and Western."

Check your local community at the following link and look into attending an Eastern Catholic Liturgy (not to be confused with the Orthodox Church).

Eastern Catholic Churches in the U.S.

The Eastern Catholic Rites retain the rich heritage of our church, without the "novelties" introduced into the Novus Ordo liturgy. Incense is used throughout.

I attend a Maronite Catholic Church. The Consecration is in Aramaic, using the words and language of our Lord at the Last Supper. Communion is ONLY distributed by the priest. It is by intinction (the priest dips the consecrated host into the Precious Blood) and is ONLY received on the tongue. The priest administers communion with the words: "The Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is given to you for the remission of sin and eternal salvation".

A Roman Catholic may attend the Divine Liturgy at any Eastern Catholic Church. You can learn more about the 22 different liturgies at this link:

There are several Roman Catholic freepers in the forum who have 'discovered' the rich beauty and reverance of the Eastern Catholic liturgies. Please give it a try and freepmail me for more information.

I'm only familiar with Assumption Grotto.

That's it. We had Cal Shenk all last year to work with the men. I don't if you knew him, wonderful man and great musician.

It's the little groups where blending in is not easy.

So true, I find that if I try to sound very young it works better...I aim for 5, it keeps the voice very light and easy. : ) Our schola is all male though I sometimes sing a chant or two during rehearsal in their octave. This Sunday's Introit goes a little too low in a couple of places but very beautiful.

[Convert from ECUSA]

I'm located in the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia.
