Superstition?
I remember watching an episode of the TV show “QI” several years ago where the host, Stephen Fry, in a flabbergasted fashion explained to the panelists and audience that the Catholic Church denounces superstition. From his atheistic viewpoint he couldn’t see any different between spirituality and superstition.
A couple of days ago there was a great article by Michelle Arnold on this topic of superstition which I think is well worth a read:
As Catholics we have a rich faith with a wealth of devotions, but these can all-too-easily devolve into mechanistic superstition where we treat God and the Saints as our personal genie.
What do you think we can do to stop this happening?

At the end of this week I’m going to be in Los Angeles for the funeral of my friend Thomas, who died in a motorbike accident last Tuesday. It seems fitting, therefore, that today’s Music Monday song should come from the title track of Audrey Assad’s latest album, “Death, be not proud”:
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there who dress up like Batman 🙂
