I-07 From Anger to Intimacy; How Forgiveness Can Transform Your Marriage – 120 minutes. Gary Smalley and Ted Cunningham Anger begins as frustration, hurt or fear. When you don’t deal with these deeper emotions, they intensify and fester into resentment and rage – and the affectionate

Popular relationship expert Dr. Gary Smalley suggests that you have three options when anger rears its head: You can stuff it, you can spew it or you can study it.

The Mystery and Meaning of Marriage I-010 Episode 1 – Does Marriage Matter? – 29 minutes Long before governments and societies ever discussed marriage, God put on the human heart a longing for the unique lifelong commitment and total self-giving love found in the Sacrament of Matrimony.

Episode 2 – Entering the Story of Marriage – 31 minutes Marriage isn’t just one of the world’s great institutions, God actually created the world for the union of husband and wife. From the beginning of creation to the coming of Christ, God unveils his plan for married couples to share in his very divine love and to be a most profound sign of his love to the world.

I-011 Episode 3 – Love Revealed – 32 minutes God reveals what love is most perfectly on the Cross. Jesus Christ – the bridegroom – lays down his life in sacrifice for his bride, the Church. And our human marriages are meant to share in that sacrificial love of Christ for the Church and reflect that love in the world.

Episode 4 – Total Gift of Self – 45 minutes How do we really give ourselves totally to our spouse? Putting our beloved’s needs

before our own self-centered interests takes a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice. But the total gift of self is at the heart of the daily married life, affecting everything from how we communicate and how we respond when we are hurt, to how we approach the expression of self-giving love in sexual intercourse.

I-012 Episode 5 – A Sacramental Bond – 30 minutes Marriage brings something new into existence that didn’t exist before: a real bond between the husband and wife. And flowing from that sacramental bond is a font of grace to help us as couples face whatever challenges may come our way and to love and serve each other far beyond what we could ever do on our own.

Episode 6 – Real Challenges, Real Love – 45 minutes Marriage is absolutely beautiful. But it’s also messy. Conflict, difficulties communicating, unexpected turns in life, and wounds from the past are all a part of every good marriage. Will these challenges be sources of division in our relationship – or opportunities for our love to rise to whole new level?

Living Marriage I-013 Episode 1 – Christ at the Center – 19 minutes Putting Jesus at the center of our lives is crucial for maintaining a strong marriage. The more we live in union with Christ, the more he helps us give the best of ourselves to our spouse and draws us closer to him through the many challenges and joys in our marriage relationship.

Episode 2 – A Deeper Unity – 18 minutes Like a good wine, a good marriage takes much time and effort to develop. God is already working in our relationships to form beautiful and lasting marriages, but he also needs our individual commitment to each deepen our union with our spouse.

I-014 Episode 3 – Conflict and Communication – 24 minutes Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but it doesn’t have to be damaging or hurtful. With the art of good communication in marriage, some tensions can be avoided and even conflict situations themselves can become opportunities for growth.

Episode 4 – Building a Thriving Marriage – 25 minutes Strong marriages don’t happen by chance. We generally get out of our relationship what we put into it. Becoming aware of our personal weaknesses, making it a priority to overcome them, and seeking God’s help to do so can make all the difference between a marriage that just survives and one that truly thrives.

I-015 Episode 5 – Protecting the Bond – 22 minutes Marriage is a priceless gift. And one that is worth going out of our way to protect. We must always be careful to not let other things in life – a career, a hobby, social media, friendships with the opposite sex – take up our attention in a way that starts to divide our union with our spouse.

Episode 6 – Sexuality and Authentic Love – 25 minutes The physical union of sexual intimacy is meant to express a total gift of one’s self spiritually, personally, and emotionally. Following God’s plan for sexuality helps us say “yes” to authentic love – the love we are ultimately longing for.

J-016 Surviving Failure and Rejection - 34 minutes In this program, Clayton Barbeau explains how important it is for every person to value themselves, because surviving rejection or failure has a lot to do with self- acceptance.

J-017 Surviving Difficult People - 40 minutes In this program, Clayton Barbeau gives special attention to the problem individuals who can make day-to-day living difficult at work or home.

K-032 Foundations of Christianity – 125 minutes on 2 disks Spirituality and theology are rich, varied and multidimensional. But what holds it all together? For Christian, what is “foundational”? What is the core of our blessed path to God? In this five-video series Father Michael Himes explores the foundational building blocks of life in Christ. Disk 1 – Mystery – 25 minutes Himes draws on poetry, Alice in Wonderland and Shakespeare to show that the only way we can speak of the deepest mystery – God – is in metaphor. Caught between our inability to speak and our need to say something Himes shows us how to say that something while still being led deeper into the mystery of God.

Disk 1 – Conversion – 25 minutes Conversion is a lifelong process. It occurs through the nurturing of others, and through imitating others and ultimately imitating Christ. Himes speaks of the external and internal word of God. Others speak the external word to us and only the Holy Spirit speaks the internal word. Only when the two “line up” is another step taken in conversion.

Disk 2 – Faith – 25 minutes Faith is trusting in God who possesses us, as opposed to a God we possess. This approach to faith changes everything because we become a “pilgrim people” - a people led further and further into life and truth.

Disk 2 – Hope – 25 minutes Himes sees hope as “Christian realism.” It is a middle way between utopianism (a belief that we can do it all) and despair (the belief that we can do nothing). Himes draws on Dante, T.S. Eliot, Friedrich Schleiermacher and Goethe to illustrate his points. We are moved to embrace a broken world loved by God – as Jesus did.

Disk 2 – Love – 25 minutes Love is a choice – a choice for the good of the other. This choice demands wisdom and courage. Himes draws on the insights of Jesus, St. Paul, Thomas Aquinas and Martin Buber to show that love is the source and summit of all the virtues.

K-033 Priest, Prophet, King – 6 episodes on 2 discs – 162 minutes The better we understand Jesus, the better we understand ourselves. But who was Jesus, this itinerant preacher whom many called the Messiah? In Priest, Prophet, King, you’ll discover Jesus as the Anointed One – the ultimate priest, prophet, and king foreshadowed throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Using biblical insights and engaging stories, Father Robert Barron affirms that we see Jesus most clearly through the lens of the Old Testament. Through this presentation you will better understand Jesus, become more familiar with Scripture, and realize your own priestly, prophetic, and kingly mission. The program features an accompanying study guide by Catholic writer and apologist Carl Olson, written under Fr. Barron’s direction. Audio in English and Spanish with English and Spanish subtitles.

K-034 The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters – 6 episodes on 2 discs – 141 minutes Atheism is on the rise. Skeptical thinkers vigorously attack belief in God as irrational or, even worse, dangerous. The so-called New Atheism has attracted millions of young people thanks to bestselling books such as The God Delusion and God Is Not Great. How should Christians respond? How can we turn the tide of secularism and draw people back to God? In The Mystery of God, Fr. Robert Barron reaches into our rich intellectual tradition to teach us how to respond. Using the insights of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Pope Benedict XVI, he uncovers a clear yet sophisticated understanding of what we mean by “God.” In English and Spanish with English and Spanish subtitles.

What are its various meanings? In the year of the Eucharist, we pause to reflect upon the Eucharist. With discussion guide.

L-015 The Celebration of Eucharist for the Twenty-First Century – 60 minutes To the casual observer, our celebration of the Eucharist might appear to be simply a random collection of prayers and pious actions. But the Mass has a definite shape and flow. It consists of two major parts: the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the Eucharist. These are so closely interconnected that they form but one single act of worship. As the General Instruction of the Roman Missal makes clear: In the Mass is spread the table both of God’s word and of the Body of Christ, and from it the faithful are instructed and refreshed. In addition to these two major parts, there are also introductory rites and concluding rites to ease our transition from home to the celebration and from the celebration back into the world. This resource has been prepared by the National Liturgy Office in collaboration with Salt and Light Television to assist in the ongoing process of catechesis on the nature and meaning of the Eucharistic celebration, its inherent unity and its shape and flow.

Originally sent to Ireland in the 5th century as a bishop to lead Irish Christians, Patrick chose instead to bring Christianity to those Irish not yet converted, and did so without bloodshed. As a result of his life and work, there emerged a uniquely Celtic form of Christianity, a religion firmly Christian in belief yet not far removed from the traditions, practice and law of the Irish.

The lady, who later revealed herself to be the Blessed Virgin Mary, gave a secret to the children told in three parts, from a harrowing vision of hell to prophetic warnings of future events including the advent and timing of the Second World War, the spread of communism, and the attempted assassination of the pope. Stylistically beautiful and technically innovative, the film uses state-of-the-art digital effects to create stunning images of the visions and the final miracle that have never before been fully realized on screen. This film was shot on location in Portugal and in England.

Special features include a 24 page collector’s booklet and a film with Fr. Andrew Apostoli, “Fatima: Message of Hope for Today”. In English with Spanish, English, and Portuguese subtitles

P-039 Pope John Paul I: the Smile of God – 120 minutes An outstanding feature film on the beloved John Paul I, (baptismal name Albino Luciani) whose brief papacy lasted only 33 days but beautifully bridged the epic papacies of Paul VI and Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul I is remembered for his infectious smile, his warm personality and his humble pastoral style. This movie captures not only the significance of his short papacy, but also tells the story of his whole life leading up to his papacy, a life marked by deep faith and heroic charity. It shows how his life of great dedication to the church and the needs of all his flock prepared him well for his election to the papacy. It reveals that he was a protégé of Pope John XXIII, who saw greatness and genuine holiness in him, and made Luciani an Archbishop and the Patriarch of Venice. He was a man of peasant origins, a devoted parish priest with a great love for orphans, the poor and outcasts, a priest who had a reluctant rise to become a prince of the Church. The film also tells the little known but dramatically true story of how Sister Lucy of Fatima had a prophetic insight that he would become Pope and that his papacy would be very short, which she revealed to him in a personal meeting in 1977 when he was a Cardinal. Major motion picture In Italian with English and Spanish subtitles

P-040 Father Michael McGivney: The Story of the Connecticut Priest Who Founded The Knights of Columbus – 57 minutes This is a documentary that brings to life the story of one of America’s most extraordinary Catholic priests. Fr. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, a mutual benefit society that today remains the world’s largest Catholic lay organization with 1.8 million members in 13 nations. This film offers a rare glimpse into the life of an extraordinary priest and visionary leader. From defending the persecuted Church to protecting widows and orphans Father Michael McGivney celebrates the triumphs and tribulations of a priest who may very well be America’s first canonized parish priest.

P-041 Fatima: Living the Message – 76 minutes – audio CD Proclaimed by Popes, verified by over 70,000 witnesses, and approved by the Church, Fr. Jason Brooks brings to light why Mary’s messages at Fatima are regarded by many as the most important spiritual event of the past 100 years. Bonus: Fr. Shanon Collins explains the intended impact and opportunity of the messages of Fatima on the spiritual lives of believers today.

Q-08 The Passion of Christ: A Meditation with Ron Rolheiser - 2 segments, 50 minutes/segment, discussion guide included. Through Scripture and examples from life, Fr. Rolheiser gives new understanding and encouragement in how we can give our lives to the world and to also give our death to the world. When we think of passion we think of Christ’s physical suffering and death but in the Agony in the Garden, the Gospels do not emphasize Jesus’ physical sufferings. The Gospel want us to understand Jesus the lover, who undergoes moral and emotional sufferings without resentment or bitterness. Fr. Rolheiser explains that God’s strength comes when we are exhausted and open to being transformed. A profound and moving reflection in two parts with a live audience.

Q-010 The Cross of Christ - 100 minutes, discussion guide included Host Ron Rolheiser, OMI. The Cross has become the ultimate symbol of love in the world. It is central to Christianity in that we are to forgive our enemies. As such, it is the single most revolutionary moral event that has happened on this planet. And, like all deep things in life, the Cross is largely a mystery. The Cross reveals God’s unconditional love and vulnerability; as a teaching and an invitation to discipleship; God suffers with us. The Cross calls us beyond ourselves, our own agenda, and our own life without resentment.

Q-011 Walking the Bible: A Journey by Land through the Five Books of Moses - 168 minutes, 2 disks. Host Bruce Feiler. Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man’s epic journey - by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel - through the greatest stories ever told.

stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews.

Dramatic scripture readings interspersed throughout bring you closer to these Biblical settings.

His encounter with the Fifth Gospel, as this land is often described, cast new light on the shrines that commemorate the life of Jesus, as well as the rugged geography He roamed two thousand years age. Salt + Light’s Kris Dmytrenko retraces the Pope’s pilgrim path through Israel and the Palestine territories. Dmytrenko leads viewers from Nazareth, home of the Holy Family; to the shores of the Galilee, where Jesus preached and healed; and finally through the gates of Jerusalem, where love triumphed over death. Biblical passages and the Pope’s homilies breathe life into the ancient sites. Interviews include His Beatitude Fouad Twal, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem; and Rabbi Yona Metzger, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel. Rare footage and a stirring soundtrack capture the Holy Land as never before.

Q-015 The Immaculate Conception: Exploring the Mystery - 16 minutes. December 8, 2004 was the 150th Anniversary of the Papal Bull, Ineffabilis Deus. This teaching raised the belief in the Immaculate Conception to the status of a formal doctrine, to be believed by all the faithful. Often confused with the faith belief in the Virgin Birth, the Immaculate Conception is not about Jesus but about Mary being conceived in the womb of her mother, St. Anne. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception explains how Mary, born of human parents like us, did not inherit Original Sin. Here is an exploration of the doctrine and how God broke through history to complete the first work of goodness by a mystery yet more wondrously sublime, the Immaculate Conception. This DVD includes both the English-language and the Spanish-language versions of the program.

Q-016 Why I Am Catholic: When I Could Be Anything Else - 60 minutes – audio CD For those who aren’t Catholic, it may not be apparent why one should embrace the Catholic Faith.

Q-025 Dark Night and Doubts In Our Lives; A Failure of Faith – Or Imagination? -165 minutes Doubt and darkness do not necessarily mean that we are struggling with faith. They can just as easily mean that we are struggling inside our imagination and that God is purifying us. What is faith and why does it sometimes feel like its opposite? Join Fr. Rolheiser on this journey out of the darkness so many of us have experienced recently, back into the light. The DVD consists of three sessions of approximately 55 minutes each. Q-026 Five Hundred Years of Saint Peter’s – 60 minutes On April 18, 1506, under the supervision of the chief architect Donato Bramante, the foundation stone was laid for a new St. Peter's Cathedral. In a sequence of bitter power struggles, shattering defeats and glorious triumphs Bramante, Sangallo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Maderno and Bernini created this world-famous center of the Roman Catholic church. The Reformation and the Counter-Reformation might well have taken a quite different course without this building. Like a huge precious shell the dome envelops the humble tomb, buried within its depths, of the Apostle Peter, designated by Jesus to bear responsibility for the Christian faith.

Q-027 Catholicism – 7 compact discs/ approximately 9 hours Father Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this epic journey, Father Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world.

Q-028 Generative Discipleship The Deeper Invitation of Jesus – 103 minutes (approx.) discussion guide included Host Father Ron Rolheiser One size doesn’t fit everyone! When we think we’ve reached the deepest level of discipleship, Jesus invites us to more. What are these invitations from Jesus to give our lives more deeply; and how can we recognize them? Why does he invite us to give our death as a blessing to others? (And how can death ever be a blessing to anybody?) Discover what Generative Discipleship means in a Biblical perspective and how it will bring a deeper meaning to your life. This program is presented in two parts and is perfect for groups or individual reflection.

Q-029 “On Blessings” – 53 minutes discussion guide available Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI talks about blessings in a whole new way: the focus is not how to get them, or count them, but how to give them. Specifically, he says that the young “Hunger for the father’s blessing,” and that older people must, “feed the young”. Fr. Rolhesier tells us why we should offer blessings and support to those younger than ourselves, how to do it, and about the rewards for those giving and receiving blessings. As Fr. Rolheiser says, “When we act like God, we get to feel like God”. Perfect for groups or individual reflection.

Q-030 Living in the Image and Likeness of God – 172 minutes discussion guide available Rev. Ron Rolheiser takes you on a three-part journey through the scriptures, Gospels and the writings of the theologians and scholars to describe the “Struggles inherent in our Blessedness.” Fr. Rolheiser shows us our naïveté regarding the power of this Blessedness, how it can also be a source of perpetual disquiet and restlessness, and finally, how to live with the “Divine Fire” inside of us. As always, Fr. Rolheiser’s charm, humor and scholarship make this presentation a memorable one for all those seeking a greater depth and understanding of their faith.

Q-031 The Incarnation: Keeping God in the Flesh – 107 minutes God didn’t come to earth in the flesh for just 33 years. Christ didn’t leave us when he ascended into heaven. We, the Christian community, continue the incarnation. We are the Body of Christ and we continue to give physical flesh to God. This has astonishing implications for how we pray, seek healing, look for guidance, understand religious experience, and for how we “bind and loose” our loved ones. As only he can, Fr. Rolheiser brings the incarnation into focus and brings clarity to its meaning for you.

Q-032 The Lamb’s Supper – 59 minutes Noted theologian and Catholic Scripture scholar Dr. Scott Hahn explains Christ’s Paschal Sacrifice and its relation to the cross as the fulfillment of the traditional fourth cup used in the celebration of the Jewish Passover meal. He shows that there is a profound parallel to the Last Supper and Christ’s death on Calvary. Through his insights and many important biblical connections, Mass will come alive for you as never before!

Q-033 Rebuilding the Christian Civilization – 62 minutes – audio CD Is it too late to reverse our “culture of death”? Pope John Paul II didn’t think so. That is why he promoted the New Evangelization – a bold new outlook whose ultimate goal was to build a “civilization of love”. Dr. Scott Hahn, lay theologian, presents the biblical blueprint for the Holy Father’s mission, along with practical steps we can use to implement this vision in our own homes.

Q-034 Panes of Glory – 105 minutes More than 11 years ago, Fr.

Q-063 An Advent and Christmas Journey - 125 minutes in 5 segments on 2 disks Free leader’s guide available at Catalog.AmericanCatholic.org/guide Without relying on just one liturgical cycle, Father Michael Himes goes in-depth into the spirituality and theology of Advent and Christmas. This series can be used in adult faith formation, small group discussions and sermon preparation for any year.

Advent I: Hope in the Darkness – 21 minutes Father Himes gives us profound insights to ponder in a “light” time of year. We live with the anxiety that we will someday come to an end. We look for God, the timeless one, to speak to us. Nothing on this earth ultimately satisfies us; we are restless. We wait, and hope, for God. As Christians, we are always in Advent.

Advent II: The Second Coming is NOW – 26 minutes Father Himes talks about the Second Coming of Christ – a major theme in Advent and a popular topic in American culture. He tells us that the Kingdom of God is not

predictable and constantly comes upon us in ordinary ways. Father Himes shows us that the Kingdom of God is among us now, reconciling all people with the living God.

Advent III: Threatened by Grace – 24 minutes Father Himes explores the Last Judgment by looking at what the “world” means in Scripture. Sometimes the world is seen as good, but in other passages, it is the enemy of God. He invites us to live in this tension and to see the world in transition. The Last Judgment means the transformation of the world, not its annihilation.

Advent IV: Prophets: John, Mary, Joseph – 29 minutes Prophets live in expectation of something new: The Savior will be born which will change everything. With humor and wisdom, Father Himes looks at Old Testament prophets like Isaiah and three New Testament Advent figures – John the Baptist, Mary and Joseph – and shows how they inspire and challenge us today.

Christmas: The Eternal Giving of God – 25 minutes Father Himes looks at early Church controversies concerning Christ’s divinity and humanity.

T010 The Vision of the Gospels – 120 minutes – 4 episodes on 2 DVDs Leader’s guide available at Catalog.AmericanCatholic.org/guide These video presentations by Father Michael Himes focus on how the ancient Christian communities that created the Gospels speak to the demands of discipleship today. Disc One: The Gospel of Matthew – 30 minutes Father Himes calls the Gospel of Matthew “the Christian book of wisdom” and the Beatitudes “the new commandments.” But do we understand what they really mean? Father Himes sees them as experiments in living. This Gospel also tells us what it means to be Church – learning about being a community that excludes no one.

The Gospel of Mark – 29 minutes In the starkest of the Gospels, Jesus is misunderstood by virtually everyone and is engaged in the struggle between God and demonic power at work in the world. Mark makes it clear that following Jesus may mean standing alone. Father Himes examines the central questions that occur again and again in the Gospel: “What do you want of us?” “Who do you say that I am?” and “What do you want me to do for your?”

112

Disc Two: The Gospel of Luke – 28 minutes Father Himes presents a powerful case that the main theme of this Gospel is “strong compassion” – a theme which flows through the parables, miracles and events of Jesus’ life. In Jesus, God’s Spirit is let loose in the world, and its first effects are the breaking down of barriers. This Gospel tells the reader that God is at work in unexpected places and so calls for a revolution in which the poor are raised up and the rich sent empty away.

The Gospel of John – 33 minutes John’s Gospel is about nothing less than eternity and our place in it. Father Himes appreciates the poetry of John and, with the skills of a great teacher, helps viewers to appreciate the beauty of the words and the profound depth of meaning which this Gospel has for our lives today.

U-020 Children of the Batey – 29 minutes Sugar is more than just a sweetener for the children in the bateyes of the Dominican Republic. For these children of sugar cane cutters, sugar is the reason they can survive. But it is also sugar that keeps them in their impoverished condition. In the batey where the sugar cane cutters and their families live, the children run around in the midst of tiny shacks and garbage heaps, exposed to malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. Along with native Dominicans, Haitian migrants and their children make up most of the batey’s population. Their children have difficulties obtaining proper education, health care and other basic human rights because by law, they are not considered citizens of the Dominican Republic. St. Peter’s Parish in Woodbridge, Ontario, responded to the needs of these children by organizing a week- long summer camp in the bateyes. A group of 37 people brought books, clothes and other donated goods. They also played games and other activities with the children. The Canadians accepted that they could not change the reality of the Dominican Republic, but they could impact one life. And a beautiful exchange happened! They become the hands and feet of Christ for the children, and in the process allowed the faith and joy of the children to touch their hearts! One of the Canadians, a six year- old boy named Christian, went right to the heart of everybody’s experience in exclaiming: “Blessed are the poor, and blessed are you who help the poor.”

Z-06 The Vision of Vatican II for Today – 2 disks with 5 – 25 minute sessions Vatican Council II (1962-1965) created a new vision of the Catholic Church for the Third Millennium. The Council was a new Pentecost that will reshape the Church for

147 centuries to come. In this five-part video series, Father Michael Himes looks at the theological background of the Council, some of the revolutionary teachings of the Council itself and how the wisdom and insights of the Council guide us today. Free leader’s guide available at Catalog.AmericanCatholic.org/guide Disc One The Roots of Vatican II – 25 minutes One hundred years before Vatican II, John Henry Cardinal Newman, often called the “Father” of the Second Vatican Council, was teaching the ideas that would come to fruition at the Council. Himes examines how the whole Church is challenged to live out the roles of priest, prophet and king in our era.

The People Are the Church – 25 minutes Father Himes looks at the sensus fidelium (“sense of the faithful”) and how truths are uncovered and taught. In this process the role of the laity is indispensable.

The Church Human and Divine – 25 minutes The Church is both a divine and human institution, but we have often stressed divinity at expense to humanity. Himes says that a divine and human Church has much to learn from human experience and such disciplines as sociology, the sciences and political theory.

Disc Two The Church Before and After Vatican II – 25 minutes Before the Council the Church had two missions – that of sanctification performed by the clergy and a social mission performed by laypeople. In the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium) both these missions are placed on equal ground. This has had a profound impact on how we view the Church today.

The Sacrament of Everyday Life – 25 minutes The Holy Spirit runs through the secular as well as the sacred spheres of life. Himes gives us a vision of a Church where all the baptized participate as full and equal partners.

Third Millennium: Vatican II – 12 DVDs This series examines the changes in outlook that the Council fostered in the Church and explores how the documents of Vatican II continue to renew the Church today. Excellent for adult education, RCIA, small groups, catechist training, and returning Catholics

148

Z-07 Third Millennium: Vatican II in History – 27 minutes, study guide included The historical settings for the Second Vatican Council, its place among other Church Councils, and its significance after thirty years are the main topics treated in this video. Historical footage, as well as eyewitness accounts, add to the viewer’s understanding and appreciation.

Z-08 Third Millennium: Liturgy – 27 minutes, study guide included Fifty years before Vatican II scholars in Europe began to research earlier liturgical forms initiating a movement that was to culminate in the sweeping reforms of Vatican II. The DVD presents a rich variety of images which illustrate the liturgical renewal in parish life in the United States since Vatican II.

Z-09 Third Millennium: Laity – 27 minutes, study guide included The pre-Vatican II church in America went from the era of the immigrants, whose active participation in the Church took the form of contributions building needed churches, schools and hospitals, to a time when laity were largely on the periphery of the Church activities. Vatican II restored the rightful place of the lay person in the life of the Church. The primacy of baptism and the meaning of the church as the people of God are the theological principles underlying this view of the increased involvement of the laity in the Church after Vatican II.

Z-010 Third Millennium: Evangelization – 27 minutes, study guide included The place of culture, the challenge of preaching the Gospel to middle-class, affluent Americans and our responsibility to the poor of our nation and the world are connected with the task of evangelization facing the Church in the Third Millennium. Emphasis by the church on its counter-cultural dimension, on issues of peace and justice, remains a challenge for many Catholics.

Z-011 Third Millennium: Ecumenism- 27 minutes, study guide included The ecumenical movement has been called the miracle of the twentieth century. Ecumenism refers to the promotion of unity among the Christian churches. In its broader sense ecumenism extends also to non-Christian religions. The ecumenical movement was first started in the early 1900’s in Asia and Africa by Protestant missionaries who began to realize that the greatest obstacle to preaching the gospel was the scandal of division among Christian churches. The starting point for ecumenism in the Catholic Church centered on the question - What is the Church? Half a century of study and experience by European theologians began to blossom at Vatican II, when biblical, liturgical, lay and missionary renewal all pointed toward ecumenism.

Z-012 Third Millennium: Mary – 27 minutes, study guide included

149

The program focuses on the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the light of the Second Vatican Council. Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, C.S.J., shares insights that will help viewers look at Mary as the model of a mature woman who heard the Word of God, understood it, freely accepted her destiny in life and carried out the will of God with courage and love.

Z-013 Third Millennium: The Word – 27 minutes, study guide included The Second Vatican Council placed the Holy Scriptures at the center of the life of the Church. Catholics have come of age in their understanding and esteem of the Bible as the “foundational” document of their faith tradition and community life. The richly illustrated commentary offers many insights into the post-Vatican II era of biblical renewal.

Z-014 Third Millennium: Religious Freedom– 27 minutes, study guide included The idea that conscience was free and must be followed had always been Church teaching, but the expression of conscience was understood differently. Thus people have a right to express their faith as their conscience directs. The emphasis of Vatican II on the role of conscience has had further implications touching on pluralism and liberty within the Church itself. The issue of freedom of conscience, particularly in moral matters, has raised many questions which continue to challenge all members of the Church.

Z-015 Third Millennium: After the Council – 27 minutes, study guide included Every Ecumenical Council has been followed by a period of change, if not conflict, for the Church. Although the experience of transition after Vatican II Ecumenical Council is dramatic than in some of the past post-conciliar periods, even today the Church is encountering difficulties in achieving the renewal called for by Vatican II. The Church of the future, however, is already emerging with a more truly world-wide dimension than ever before, yet existing in every local church community as the full embodiment of Christ’s saving presence.

Z-016 Third Millennium: Forty Years Later - 27 minutes, study guide included This program looks at the developments that have brought new life to the Church since the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council began its work of pastoral renewal. The progress of the work of ecumenism, the emphasis on the People of God and the role of the Laity in Church ministries, and what has been and needs to be accomplished in areas of liturgical reform and church structure are studied.

Z-017 Third Millennium: The Next Pope - 27 minutes, study guide included A number of theologians, historians and religion specialists examine the controversy

150

over such issues as lay ecclesial ministry, the role of women in the Church, the clergy sexual abuse crisis, the centralization of authority in the Vatican, and the weakening of national conference of bishops. How John Paul II’s successor deals with these divisive issues is crucial for the Church’s growth in the 21st century.

Z-018 Third Millennium: Inside the Council - 27 minutes, study guide included As an American Paulist priest on the staff of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, Fr. Tom Stransky witnessed the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council from its beginnings in 1960, its two years of preparation and the four sessions that followed (1962-65). Fr. Stransky recalls his experiences and impressions of the Council, providing contemporary viewers with a first-hand account of the Council and its intentions.
