(John Paul II - Address on the Jubilee of the Lay-Apostolate) License _______ (Apostolate Name) will be licensee for Radio Station _______ (Call Letters / Frequency / Band) Papal Plea for Catholic Radio Every Pope since the invention of the radio has asked for the medium to be used for the purpose of spreading the Faith. Vatican II repeated this plea and added emphasis on the role of the laity. In its document on Social Communications, the Council said that it is a responsibility of the laity to start Catholic radio stations, and that it would be "shameful" if these efforts were not supported by the faithful. LISTENER SUPPORTED __________ (Apostolate Name) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. As such, we do not have commercials on the radio or other commercial income. The station is supported through listener tax- deductible donations. Without broad listener support, and the commitment and generosity of EWTN, Catholic radio would not be viable on local AM or FM in the community. Parish Pledge Talks One of the most successful methods used in building audience awareness and paying for the operation of local Catholic radio stations is parish pledge talks.

Reg. 8456 (Feb. 6, 2013). In short, and based on the comments herein below, religious beliefs and conscience objections to contraceptive services are held by people who are not churches and the current proposed rule does not permit anyone other than aChurch to be exempt. To this extent, the rule is deficiently erroneous and must be corrected. Summary: EWFN is anonprofit public charity dedicated to advocating the teachings oftJie Roman Catholic Church, which include the belief that voluntary sterilization, contraception, and abortion are evil. The government is forcing EWTN and others to call these things good and provide them despite moral and conscience objections. Although it claims to provide exemption, this rule literally reduces religious exemption to churches tliereby forcing EWTN and anyone else with valid objections to comply.

  • SLOW LEARNERS in the CHURCH Last Week’S Column Discussed How a Single Letter in an Esoteric Greek Word Made All the Difference in Defining Catholic Dogma About Jesus
    “THE THIRD TIME’S A CHARM”: SLOW LEARNERS IN THE CHURCH Last week’s column discussed how a single letter in an esoteric Greek word made all the difference in defining Catholic dogma about Jesus. By all accounts, Nicaea was a success. And yet, as is so often the case, people were slow– very slow– to assimilate its decrees. In fact, the Arian crisis continued to brew even after the priest’s teaching was declared heretical. So, we jump ahead for a moment to the Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. (the 3rd council) which forbade any changes to the Creed promulgated at Nicaea under pain of condemnation. Now, fast forward to Chalcedon in 451 A.D., when an impasse of sorts was reached. In view of the fixed nature of the creed according to Ephesus, bishops felt that to add or change the Creed would violate an earlier council and were extremely hesitant to do so. And yet it was inadequate. Ephesus (431) had decreed: “It is not permitted to produce … any other creed except the one which was defined by the holy fathers who were gathered together in the Holy Spirit at Nicaea. Any who dare to compose… another creed.” They weren’t joking! In the nick of time, an archdeacon in Constantinople rose, and proposed a brilliant way forward. An earlier Council held at Constantinople in 381 A.D. had largely gone unnoticed to the wider Church. This is not unsurprising in its day. It’s not as if the Council decrees were broadcast on EWTN! This is part of the problem in reconstructing historical events accurately.

    VATICAN II AND THE LITURGY: REVISITING LOST TRADITIONS By MARY L ZIMMERMAN A thesis submitted to the Graduate School – Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Graduate Program in Liberal Studies Written under the direction of Dr. John Wall And approved by Camden, New Jersey January 2011 i ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Vatican II and the Liturgy: Revisiting Lost Traditions By MARY L ZIMMERMAN Thesis Director: Dr. John Wall The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the changes that occurred in the Catholic liturgy either by the council fathers or by over-zealous liturgists who ignored the decree of Vatican II and chose to interpret the Vatican‟s directives in their own way. I will examine the various parts of the mass before and after Vatican II. I will visit a traditional mass (pre-Vatican II) to determine its usefulness in today‟s world. I will look at past traditions swept aside post Vatican II and determine if these traditions still hold value to Catholic‟s today. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract of the Capstone ii Table of Contents iii I.
