Young Priests...

...are the future of the Church, and boy-o-boy does the future look bright! Case in point, Fr. Andy Jaspers, S.J. The good padre wrote me and submitted the following:

Peace be with you,

I wondered if you could provide a link for some recent talks on Pope Benedict’s thought. These talks are given by solidly orthodox Jesuits, and are at a high level of scholarship.

The first talk is by Fr. Robert Araujo of Loyola University, Chicago. Fr. Araujo was the legal counsel for the Vatican delegation to the United Nations for several years up to this year. His talk is very timely, as it is on Pope Benedict’s social thought. Fr. Burgaleta is a biblical scholar from Fordham University, and gives an excellent assessment of “Jesus of Nazareth” as a contribution to biblical scholarship. Finally, Fr. Mueller, of Marquette University, gives a talk that is an engaging presentation on the Christology of “Jesus of Nazareth.”

The talks are available at: http://fordhamfrc.org/jpii/pagetwo.htm

That's it. No mention that he is the resident instructor of philosophy and theology at Creighton, or that he has his own talk online entitled A Reflective Approach to Praying with Advent. Zip. Nada. Pure humility and goodwill, with a chaser of class. Like I said, I'm very hopeful for the year of the priest and the future of the Church. Keep 'em coming!

Here are the talks from the Fordham site Padre recommended. Be sure to wear a seat belt.

Peter Kreeft - God

Found the following thanks to reader Brigitte:

God

Atheists deny God’s existence; mystics experience God directly; saints are called friends of God. How can we finite human beings really know Him, the Infinite God? Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Holy Scripture, this is taken from the Luke E. Hart Series – Basic Elements of the Catholic Faith and provided by the Knights of Columbus Catholic Information Service.

“This helped evangelize an Agnostic Scientist friend to explore the faith and start asking for more!” Rennie - Spokane, WA

“For those seriously wondering about God’s existence, this presents many solid facets to contemplate.” Mark - La Crosse, WI

Pro-Life Apologetics Webinar

HT to Mark Shea and Homeschool Connections:

Some months ago, John Jansen of Generations for Life traveled to Lansing and gave a great presentation for our high school club Homeschoolers 4 Life. He taught the teens how to present the pro-life position in a way that is both charitable and convincing to pro-choice advocates. The teens loved it. The parents loved it.

I am so excited to announce that John will now be taking that same presentation to teens and parents across the country via an online seminar (webinar). You can attend the webinar for free through Homeschool Connections on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 8:30 PM Eastern time.

If you have not yet experienced a webinar, you've got to give it a try. You'll be able to hear and see John live as well as his presentation. You'll also be able to communicate with him and other attendees via an organized chat. It's much like attending a live conference only you'll be in the comfort of your own home. No gas tank to fill, no parking space to find and you don't even have to dress up! So simple, yet so rewarding.

John's talk is titled: Making the Case for Life:

Have you ever been in a conversation about abortion and found yourself struggling to defend your pro-life beliefs?

"Making the Case for Life" looks at the most common arguments used by abortion advocates use and explains how to respond from a pro-life point of view.

This presentation is geared toward teenagers and adults.

This webinar is brought to you at no charge thanks to the sponsorship of Generations for Life and Pro-life Action League.
