Quick notes ...

Cardinal Arinze and his comments on the world over are STILL causing a buzz in circles of Catholics intent on fidelity to the Magesterium.

A RealAudio stream is available.

A LifeSite article is also available.

Some choice quotes

Cardinal Arinze responded, “The answer is clear. If a person says I am in favour of killing unborn babies whether they be four thousand or five thousand, I have been in favour of killing them. I will be in favour of killing them tomorrow and next week and next year. So, unborn babies, too bad for you. I am in favour that you should be killed, then the person turn around and say I want to receive Holy Communion. Do you need any Cardinal from the Vatican to answer that?

Laughing, Arroyo responded, “It should be pretty transparent.” To which the Cardinal concluded, “Simple, ask the children for First Communion, they'll give you the answer.”

The Vatican Cardinal responded, “No, no. You see, let's get it clear. These rainbow sash people, are they really saying we are homosexuals, we intend to remain so and we want to receive Holy Communion. The question arises; take the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It says it is not condemning a person for having homosexual tendency. We don't condemn anybody for that. But a person stands condemned for acting on it.”

The rest of the interview is worth listening to, and I have provided you no excuse ... so listen.

I am using Feedreader now which allows me to keep up with far more blogs than I used to. This has helped out tremendously and will likely replace My Yahoo as my preferred method of blog reading. Eventually I will add my favorites to a blog roll.
