Labor Day - Movies of the Summer

Well, here we are at labor day. Just a hop-skip and a jump from October and Halloween and from there the year seems to slip by.

So it's probably one of the last weekends to take advantage of seeing some of the latest summer movie hits.

One of those that I saw and highly recommend is 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.

Now this is obviously coined from the 70's Planet of the Ape movies which were a great hit, so I went with some hesitation. I ended up enjoying the movie and give it a thumbs up.... a must see.

Having said that I was interested in hearing what other people had to say about the movie and if they liked it as well.

Father Barron is a person who's opinion and thoughts I love to hear and his movie reviews sometimes give great insight.

Here's his latest review and it's on 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'.

Fr. Barron's 'Catholicism' - Awesome!

Can't wait to get this. I've decided to use Father Barron's new series call Catholicism as a study for our parish Men's Fellowship.

We'll use the book to read and use 1/2 increments of the video in our 1 1/2 hr Saturday meetings. The book for home study, the video shown at the meetings to stimulate discussion.

Hope to show this series to the rest of the parish as well.

Check out the new trailer:

Fr Barron Comments on the Confession iPhone App

When was the last time you went to confession? Do you go with any frequency?
I make it a point to go about once a month and I truly feel it's a wonderful sacrament.

I read about this new iPhone App and the confusion the media imposed in the public.
Father Barron has a good video on the topic.

Fr. Barron: Leaving the Catholic Church

Fr. Barron hits it right on the nail. Lots of friends and work colleagues, fellow Catholics are leaving the church, claiming they have found another way of gaining the graces from another just as good a source.

...only fooling themselves, 'She's still our Mother.'

You Know Christopher Hitchens...Do you know his Brother Peter?

I never know that Christopher Hitchens had a brother, however he does. His name is Peter Hitchens.

So, oh great another rage filledl atheist right?

Wrong. Fr Barron gives a brief introduction of who Peter Hitchens is and how he differs from his brother.
