The Passion of the Christ movie. WCBOhio on Nov 14, 2015 This is an old episode of What Catholics Believe from 2004. It was recorded shortly after the release of Mel Gibson's film, "The Passion of the Christ". Due to poor picture quality the program was never shown. Hoping there may still be some interest in the discussion however, it was decided to salvage the footage by converting it to black and white and make the best of what was there. The audio is still quite good. The host was James Urling, a Cincinnati area attorney. At the time, What Catholics Believe was broadcast on Time-Warner cable, hence the running time to fit inside a half-hour slot (this is true of all the older series of shows). Also like all the older shows, this one too is small in format. This is due to the deprecated analog NTSC broadcast standards that were used at the time.

And in the darkness, gloom untold the ancient light has shone: an angel of forgotten Lord rolled back the burial stone....
Resurrection Here, where the dumb and stalwart ox raised halls of common sense with towers of heavenly rocks, on debris new thing stands. A heifer, red or tangerine, or golden like fool’s gold: the trademark of the stranger’s dream, New Order to behold. * Thus, sons of parents valiant, free agreed to be enslaved, and masters of great perfidy were dancing on the grave. Vile passions were unleashed at length, yet no one took the blame, but some who had a little strength had not denied the Name. * And in the darkness, gloom untold the ancient light has shone: an angel of forgotten Lord rolled back the burial stone.

Back in 2016, the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan conducted what is probably the most comprehensive vaccinated-to-unvaccinated comparative study on over 18,000 children, nearly 2,000 of whom were completely unvaccinated. And then? Nothing happened for eight years. Complete break in contact with the study’s sponsor. This film shows how, after all these years, the study was finally published and what its revolutionary findings are. Source. The rapid pace of global events draws our attention to the current developments in the Gulf War, while causing us to forget the unpunished crimes of past wars. The tragedy of a world war waged with biological weapons—known as COVID-19—serves, despite millions of victims, merely as a backdrop for further acts of genocide. How does the bombing of Tehran or …
Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.
Following government directives, public Easter services in Dubai have been cancelled since Good Friday. The regime's excuse is that tensions in the Middle East are escalating. Dubai has two Catholic parishes - Saint Mary's and Saint Francis of Assisi in Jebel Ali. Both have confirmed the closures on their websites and will remain closed "until further notice". Saint Mary’s Church is one of the largest Catholic parishes in the world, with around 30,000 members, many of whom are Filipino workers. On Good Friday, many Catholics who had not been informed of the closure were seen praying outside on the pavement instead. Easter liturgies were only being streamed online. Bishop Paolo Martinelli, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia, acknowledged worshippers' disappointment at missing Holy Week celebrations. #newsAfvbsxvwah

Many dioceses across Europe, North America, and Asia have seen significant increases in Catholic baptisms and conversions this Easter. The strange thing is that anti-Catholic media including New York Times, Washington Post or CNN advertised this trend. The most significant increase was reported in France, where 21,386 catechumens were baptized during the Easter Vigil. The total included more than 13,000 adults and over 8,000 adolescents, marking the highest figure ever recorded in the country. Outside Europe, large numbers were also reported in parts of Asia. In Hong Kong, approximately 2,500 catechumens were baptized, while Singapore reported 1,089 catechumens entering the Church.

IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH DIVIDED? (and is Division so Bad?) fr.williamnicholas Fr. Bill addresses divisions within the Catholic Church - why some divisions can be bad, and why some are good for the Church as a whole.

84-year-old Catholic woman rejects euthanasia offer at Vancouver hospital
When Miriam Lancaster went to the hospital for severe back pain, she was stunned to be offered euthanasia instead of real care. In this conversation, she shares how that moment exposed a terrifying shift in our culture: suffering patients are being treated as problems to “solve,” not persons to love. She says, her husband had also been offered assisted su*cide a few years earlier as well. From a Catholic perspective, Miriam’s story is a stark reminder that every life—especially when it’s fragile, disabled, or in pain—is precious, unrepeatable, and entrusted to us by God, not the state or the medical system. Her witness challenges us to build a society that offers compassion, accompaniment, and authentic palliative care, never a lethal injection disguised as “dignity.”
