A Blogger and the Blessed Mother | Mark Shea, interviewed by Carl E. Olson | Ignatius Insight | June 24, 2009
Carl E. Olson, editor of Ignatius Insight, talks to Mark Shea, well-known blogger, author, and apologist, about Mary, Mother of the Son, Mark's three-volume exploration of the Marian dimension of Catholic thought, life, prayer, and practice.
Mark is the man and mind behind the popular "Catholic and Enjoying It!" blog. He is also the author of several books--including Making Senses Out of Scripture, By What Authority?: An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition, and This Is My Body: An Evangelical Discovers the Real Presence--and a regular contributor to Catholic Exchange, InsideCatholic.com, and National Catholic Register. In this 47-minute interview, Mark talks about his Marian trilogy, misconceptions about Marian beliefs, and Marian devotions, as well as the life of an established blogger and budding actor.
Signed copies of Mary, Mother of the Son can be ordered through Mark's website.

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.

Got the following tip in the ol' e-mail interwebz thingy:
Do yourself a favor and check it out -- oh, and don't forget the Power Point!
So, naturally, I gave the first talk a listen. In short -- awesome. I was listening to the Marriage and Sexuality Series, and if you don't know the Theology of the Body at all then this is the talk for you. If you DO know the TOB, this is a good refresher and there are a few analogies I'll bet you haven't heard. Lots of borrowing from Christopher West and Janet Smith, who get it all from JPII (who gets it from Tradition), but some good original stuff, too.There are some good mp3s from the assistant pastor at our parish at http://www.4shared.com/u/qqkggkz/7e071de5/Fr_Faulkner.html
He has a series there for mothers, a series on marriage (from his marriage preparation series to which all married parishioners were invited) and some of his homilies.
Thanks again for putting together this website.

Still busy with NewBaby #3 -- so please be patient with my (lack of) new posts.
Couple of folks sent in tips pointing to the following free audio. I've got a Lighthouse Catholic Media parish near my house with a convenient mass time (and I always pick up CDs when I'm there), and I can tell you that they're producing some wonderful stuff. If you don't know who Lighthouse Catholic Media is or if you don't evangelize because you're shy, do check out the kiosks as an option for reaching hearts without saying a word.
