William "Wild Bill" Albrecht wrote in and let me know about a recent debate of his with
TurretinFan from
Alpha and Omega Ministries (the patristically dishonest "ministry" of the Right Reverend Reformed Baptist Bishop James "Dr." White). Rock and roll! I love debates and I love the Blessed Virgin (Hi Mom!) -- how could this get better?!? Wild Bill writes:
Does the Bible Teach that We are to Venerate Mary?
This is the first in a number of debates we have planned. We will be debating the MARIAN DOGMAS very soon, you can announce that also if you'd like. Those will be much longer. Each DOGMA will be roughly about 2 and a half hours long and we will start debating that in July,
UPDATE: Find Wild Bill Albrecht's last debate here.

We the students of the University of Notre Dame have called for a Rosary Crusade in response to the recent announcement of the honoring of President Obama on our campus. During the Rosary Crusade, which began on Wednesday of Holy Week and will last until Sunday May 17th (the day of President Obama's commencement address at ND), we will be praying the Rosary each day for the following three intentions:
1) The conversion of heart of President Obama regarding the sanctity of life.
2) For the Catholic character of the University of Notre Dame.
3) For a greater respect for the dignity of human life from conception until natural death around the world.
We truly believe we can have 1,000,000 Rosaries prayed by May 17th, but we need people to know about our campaign in order for that to happen. We at Notre Dame realize that the scandal given by the honoring of President Obama extends much further than the Notre Dame campus and we recognize that we, the students, have been given the great opportunity to be leaders (at least for this small portion of time) in the Catholic Pro-life movement around the world. Please encourage your readers to join with us in praying the Rosary for these intentions and logging the number of Rosaries they have prayed on our website at http://ndresponse.com/counter/ . Facebook users are encouraged to join our event. If any good is going to come from this situation, that good will be motivated and brought about by prayer, especially the prayer of the Rosary.
No mission or cause is too great for God, least of all the cause of those who are the weakest amongst us. We trust Our Lady will watch over us and recommend our prayers to Her Beloved Son.
Reader Richard R. sent in a link to a page of FSSP sermons. Below are just a few of the sermons linked on that page --

Here are are some links to a rather expansive music archive at an SSPX seminary
As many will recall, the SSPX bishops have had their excommunication lifted, but the SSPX is still not in full communion with the Holy See. Nonetheless, these are thoroughly Catholic hymns and chants. Enjoy!
Got this in the ol' e-mail inbox. Figured I'd share:
Starting tomorrow, we are teaming up with My Catholic Voice (www.mycatholicvoice.com) to offer a free music download each Wednesday through June 10. The direct link to the item will be www.mycatholicvoice.com/aogentes
You have to be a registered user to download the item - there's no cost to join/register. Below is our PR.
The first free download will be ‘Alleluia Omnes Gentes’ by the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos in their inimitable style of freedom and expressive power of love and faith.
Enjoy all this good Catholic music!
God Bless,
Stefan

Easter
Past posts...
Even though Advent is just starting, here's a piece from Holy Week last:
Mary, the Bread of Life, and the Mystery of Holy Saturday
This meditation was given during the Triduum retreat for the RCIA Hollywood program:

Yes, yes, a little early...but here's some Easter music from the Vatican. I felt bad having posted mainly videos today, so here are some MP3s. The link to the left takes you to the lyrics, the link on the right to the MP3 file:
Yes, yes, I know Lent just started. I can't help but get excited, though, about the Easter Vigil singing of the Exultet.
For your enjoyment and contemplation :
Fr. Tim Hepburn's MP3 Recording in English

Exultet.mp3 (canisius.edu)
In Latin:
Benedyktyńskie Śpiewy Chorałowe
So yeah, I really love this priest. He baptized my firstborn son, renewed my faith in the orthodoxy of young priests and instilled in me a great love for the Exultet (about which you already know if you come here often). His name is Dan Scheidt, and I'm firmly convinced he's a modern day saint -- may God keep and preserve him.
This past Holy Week, he returned to my parish (where he was formerly associate pastor and has since left to shepherd a flock of his own) and delivered a wonderful meditation on the Exultet. Please do give it a listen through GodTube:
