Scripture Alone? - Showing Up Catholic Episode 17

Showing Up Catholic Ep. 17
“Scripture Alone?”
July 14, 2016

Is scripture alone sufficient as a rule of faith? Protestants think so. Debates often pit scripture against tradition. The Catholic Church teaches the unity of scripture and tradition. In this episode we discuss how we can remain confident in the Churches teachings. Oral tradition, written tradition, and the authority of the Church assures us of the authenticity and correctness of a teaching far more precisely and reliably  than an individual interpretation of scripture alone

I'm Just a Blogger in the On the Rock Band

My title is a jeu de mots on the song "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band" by the Moody Blues . Actually I found jeu de mots in the thesaurus as a synonym for word play or pun. I have, in fact, read a thesaurus for entertainment a time or two. I like word play, by the way, in case you hadn't noticed. Which is why I often play with song lyrics and song titles. I've considered a few times not using that as a mechanism for my blogs. Partly because people younger than me aren't even going to get the references. I have also wondered if people would just get tired of that schtick. Then a song association comes along and I can't help myself. I've got words in my head so I say them. On the Rock is, of course, for built on the rock. I could have stuck with the word singer, instead of blogger, but although I've got the music in me, I can't really carry a tune. I am a blogger and my medium is words. Then again,  I believe we all have a song to sin

There's a light A certain kind of light That never shone on me I want my life to be  Lived with you Lived with you There's a way everybody say To do each and every little thing But what does it bring If I ain't got you,  Ain't got you? You don't know what it's like, baby You don't know what it's like To love somebody To love somebody The way I love you (Bee Gees - 1967)  Last week I was watching America's Got Talent. Actually, I wasn't really watching it. I just had the TV on while I was working on my computer. I did happen to catch the very last act though. Hego t the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell.  The name of the performer was Michael Ketterer and the song he sang was "To Love Somebody". He dedicated his performance to his children. "To Love Somebody" is a song written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. Supposedly they wrote it for Otis Redding but he died before he

Angry Birds at the Vatican

On Sunday, during his Angelus, Pope Francis prayed for peace in the Ukraine. He and two children then released two doves over St. Peter’s square in a symbolic gesture for peace. The two doves were immediately and quite ferociously attacked by a seagull and a crow. The peace doves managed to escape their attackers and fly away. This is not the first time a dove released from the window of the Vatican has met with such an assault. There was a seagull attack on a peace dove released from the window of the Vatican almost exactly a year ago. January is the traditional month when peace is promoted by the Vatican. The ritual of setting doves free from the balcony in January for world peace originated with Pope John Paul II in 2005. There are often mishaps with the doves, even including their flying back into the window and having to be coaxed back out. Apparently obstacles, and threats to their life, are nothing new for a peace dove. Which is significant. There are many obstacles and threats
