Goooooooaaaaal!!!

I was recently reminded in conversation that most American Catholics have never watched the TV show “Father Ted”. To be fair, it’s a rather bizarre TV show, with a distinctly quirky sense of humour. However, it’s well worth a watch.

So, in honour of England’s recent victory over Columbia in the World Cup, here’s the episode where Fr. Ted coaches the All-Priests Over 75 Five-A-Side Football Challenge Match…

If you’d like to be introduced to more wonderful British TV, I’d recommend looking at my Best of British series, where I talk about some of my favourite TV shows from home.

Music Monday: Spirit Fall

Leave a comment

A song from the New Wine Conference, “Spirit Fall”, sung by Susie Woodbridge:

[Verse 1]
You breathe life, you restore
Awaken my soul
I know that I’ve been
made for more

[Verse 2]
You speak truth
You renew
When I’m in your presence
you show me the glory of You

[Chorus]
Spirit Fall x2
Fall on us for we are yours x2

[Verse 3]
You will make
all things new
Until you return
all of creation cries out for you

[Bridge]
There is power in your presence
Hope and healing in your presence
There is freedom in your presence
Spirit fall

Description of Protestantism

I came across this on a message board. While I’m happy to acknowledge the many areas where we agree with our separated brethren and hold much in common, this summary of Protestantism hits the nail on the head…

Protestantism: where everyone is a priest except priests, where everyone can bind and loose except bishops, where you can command angels but not ask their help, where you can talk to the devil but not to saints, where everyone gets a crown except the Virgin Mary, where everyone can interpret Scripture except the Church, where every church is a church except the Church…
– Theodosius Walker
