By Return to Order - A Satanic band, called “Ghost”, is scheduled to perform.. in The Woodlands, Texas on September 2. This band is famous for its Satanic lead-singer dressing as a demonic anti-pope and singing lyrics that mock Christian prayers in blasphemous and impure ways... the Swedish rock band, “Ghost,” is scheduled to perform in a tour across the U.S. until September 11... One of these locations is Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, in The Woodlands, Texas, outside of Houston.

By Msgr. Charles Pope - One of the more difficult Biblical themes to understand is the concept of God hardening the hearts and minds of certain human beings. Here are some examples where it seems he does: The LORD said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. (Ex 4:21)

Catholic Culture - Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of the Queenship of Mary. The faithful, under the guidance of an unerring Catholic instinct, have ever recognized the queenly dignity of the Mother of "The King of kings and Lord of lords": the Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, Popes, down through the centuries, have given authoritative expression to this truth and the crowning testimony to this common belief is to be found clearly expressed in the wonders of art and in the profound teaching of the liturgy.

By Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, OnePeterFive - The fact is, we all, living and dead members of the Church, Christ’s Mystical Person, have a care for each other. The merits of the saints can be applied to us. In invoking the saints in our lives we both implicitly and explicitly give God the glory that is the whole point in the end. We are not isolated individuals while we are here in this vale of tears... Honor for the saints, our neighbors in Heaven. Sacrificial love for our neighbors whom we encounter along this road of life. You are Christ’s love letter to them both.
