Sinister Art

A protesting piece of art I found quite nice actually until I read its title . 'Cardinal Sinister' . Now I get it even though I don't know who James Bond villains Blofeld is . It's way better than THIS ONE anyway *shrugs

Hearts unto Stained Glass

The design for the stained glass in the private chapel of the Papal Nunciature in London is the artwork of Brian Clarke. The 3 candles reflect three prominent Catholic intellectuals- Thomas More, John Fisher and John Henry Newman. The top part of the design(the candle) is also being used as the logo for the entire Papal Visit to the Uk and it is the cover of the booklet -Heart speaks unto heart

Dumb computer. I am having troubles . Please be patient cause I have no idea why I am getting a warning message . If you got a warning that this site is unsafe, I am terribly sorry . Hopefully it will disappear . I switched to IE 9 and the warning message doesn't seem to appear now but my blogger posts are all screwy . I can't insert images or links so you just have to settle for the url's :).

Pope in the Shadows of Newman

Britains Prime Minister Tony Blair says "Pope is in complete harmony with the spirit and ideas of Newman". He goes on quoting Newman to say "The man of conscience is he who never succumbs to indulgence, well-being, success, public prestige and the approval of public opinion at the expense of the truth,"

The 'then' Cardinal Ratzinger himself said "It was from Newman that we learned to understand the primacy of the Pope."



'I want a laity, not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men [and women] who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it, who know so much of history that they can defend it. I want an intelligent, well-instructed laity - I wish...to enlarge [their] knowledge, to cultivate [their] reason, to get an insight into the relation of truth to truth, to learn to view things as they are, to understand how faith and reason stand to each other, what are the bases and principles of Catholicism...'
John Henry Newman
