Please take some time out of the day and say a prayer for the innocent who have parished in fight and ask God to give wisdom and understanding to those leaders in power. http://www.estovir.org/ACUApplications/ACUBlog/tabid/127/EntryID/55/Default.aspx stevenpardo@gmail.com http://www.estovir.org/ACUApplications/ACUBlog/tabid/127/EntryID/55/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.estovir.org/Default.aspx?tabid=127&EntryID=55 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 21:45:00 GMT 0 http://www.estovir.org/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=55 Catholic Resources on "The Da Vinci Code" Some Catholic Resources on "The Da Vinci Code" http://www.estovir.org/ACUApplications/ACUBlog/tabid/127/EntryID/52/Default.aspx stevenpardo@gmail.com http://www.estovir.org/ACUApplications/ACUBlog/tabid/127/EntryID/52/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.estovir.org/Default.aspx?tabid=127&EntryID=52 Thu, 01 Jun 2006 19:23:00 GMT 0 http://www.estovir.org/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=52 The difference between "anything goes" and Christian inclusiveness. Wasn't it Christ himself who welcomed the "wretched refuse" of his time, associating with publicans and adulterers, lepers, prostitutes, and the whole offal of Palestine? He and his disciples were from the wrong side of the tracks, the Palestinian outback of Galilee - a powerful message for the rich and famous of his time and ours. He was fiercely criticized for fraternizing with outcasts, and disparagingly dubbed a "friend of tax collectors and sinners." Isn't this absolute inclusiveness essential to the Christian message? http://www.estovir.org/ACUApplications/ACUBlog/tabid/127/EntryID/45/Default.aspx stevenpardo@gmail.com http://www.estovir.org/ACUApplications/ACUBlog/tabid/127/EntryID/45/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.estovir.org/Default.aspx?tabid=127&EntryID=45 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 13:17:00 GMT 1 http://www.estovir.org/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=45 Saint Ralph (2004) Pervaded by a refreshing sense of subtle whimsy, 'Saint Ralph' could best be described as a dramady.
