Charles Krauthammer, "Decline is a Choice": "The corollary to unchosen European collapse was unchosen American ascendancy. We--whom Lincoln once called God's "almost chosen people"--did not save Europe twice in order to emerge from the ashes as the world's co-hegemon. We went in to defend ourselves and save civilization. . ."
"What might Creation, the Spirit of Gaia, our Living Dew-Hearted Mother Earth spinning in the Infinite Cosmic Mystery, be asking of the church today?" I think she's asking the Church why we allow morons who write junk like this to remain in Church leadership.

ReplyDeleteYesterday evening I had the pleasure to watch a screening of "The 13th Day".
ReplyDeleteIt's been the first movie about Fatima in decades and it was a refreshing approach to it. It cast an eye on the events and on the Little Shepherds in a contemporary cinematographic way. It was beautifuly photographed mostly in black-and-white and used color only during the appratitions.
I really appreciated how it balanced the focus between the events and how they affected the Little Shepherds. It's very hard to portray the interior spiritual experiences of saints on film, but I think that in "The 13th Day" they accomplished it pretty well, or as well as it's possible in a movie. It was beautiful to see how the children grew into holiness after their encounters with Mary. It was an almost Carmelite glance at them, because it conveyed what words cannot convey.
Keep an eye for it and make a point to watch it. It's well worth it.
May Our Lady of Fatima pray for us.
