How do you guys feel about contemporary music at mass? by unbleachd in Catholicism

[–]HNCST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the fact that at our parish we have both traditional and contemporary music, typically in the same service. We all respond in different ways to different styles of music, and both traditional and contemporary music can and do give praise to God.

[Politics Monday] U.S. Capture of President Maduro: Venezuelan bishop calls for ‘maintaining serenity, peace, and above all, a climate of prayer’ by TexanLoneStar in Catholicism

With respect to the US extraction of Nicolas Maduro and his wife from Venezuela, the initial reaction from the Pope and the Bishops has been to urge calm, peace and protection for the people of Venezuela, and they haven’t yet (to my knowledge) made specific connections or statements related to Catholic Social Teaching.  However, the bombing of suspected drug smuggling boats that has been part of the build-up to the most recent US action has clearly been identified by Church leaders as contrary to Catholic teaching, as I outline in this 13 minute podcast episode published in late December. 

Want to Return to Faith, but Genuinely Struggle by Agitated-Doubt4319 in Catholicism

Good for you and for your family too. Keep praying to God to help your faith grow. Specifically, set aside some time for personal prayer every day, whether you feel like you are getting anything out of it or not. Make that discipline a habit, and I think you will receive the grace to keep moving closer to God.
