 January 24,
2020: I'd taken down this "What's New?" page, but have gotten a request
to re-add it. Since the time I've taken it down, I've added lots of
things, but likely won't be able to remember them all. Among the new
things I can remember are these pages: The
Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano; The
Feast of St. Andrew; Spiritual
Bouquets; The Three Hail Marys
Devotion; The Widow's Mite; Retreats; Processions;
Station Churches; Doctors of the Church; Using and Buying a Missal; La Mano Poderosa; Our
Lady of Guadalupe and the Tilma of St. Juan Diego; The
Logos, the Transcendentals, and Sanity; Chaplets (can you believe I never had a page
on chaplets until recently?); The
Spanish Inquisition; Mystery, Miracle, and
Morality Plays, Catholic
Social Teaching; Mass Intentions;
Spreading the Gift
Around: Evangelizing; and more. Many, many books and texts have been
added to the Catholic Library
(including Aquinas's Catena Aurea
-- all of it!), much has been added to the Jewish-Catholic
Relations sub-section, etc. In addition, I am constantly tweaking, changing art,
adding art, adding little bits -- or big chunks -- of information to
already existing pages, doing things like making sure MP3 files have
replaced midi files for all the hymns and Christmas carols, etc. A
Twitter feed has been added to the bottom of the Discussion Forum
pages to try to stimulate conversation there. I will try to keep this
"What's New?" page up, but, then again,
I might forget about it...
I've
added a page on trusting God. You can find it here: Index
> Being Catholic > Trusting in God
In
the Being Catholic section, I've added a very basic primer on
Catholic moral theology. It's here: Index
> Being Catholic > Moral Thinking:
A Basic Primer on Catholic Moral Theology
We
have a new page, a long one, for adults only, on dealing
with homosexuality. You can find it here: Index

Homosexuality
A
new little sub-section is up, this one on the Zodiac. Yes, the Zodiac.
You can see it here: Index
> Being Catholic > The Zodiac
I have a new
page, one that answers the question, "Who are we to judge?": Index

There's a new
page on the most fascinating Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of

it has and feed the poor" here: For

page on the Spanish Inquisition can be found here: For Protestants Section > The Spanish Inquisition
I
added a section to the end of the Lectio Divina
page. Index

a new sub-section of the "Being Catholic" section, an area that
focuses on the preternatural world, spiritual warfare, angels, demons,
ghosts, etc.: Index
> Being Catholic > The

I've
added a bunch of Catholic desktop wallpapers and backgrounds. You'll
find them here: Index
> Being Catholic > Wallpapers and
Backgrounds
I
added a page on what to do if you're trad -- but your family isn't:
Index >
For Catholics > I'm Trad, but My
Family Isn't! Help!
I've
added a page called "Conversion of the Heart" -- likely the most
important page on this website now. It's located here: : Index
> Being Catholic > Conversion
of the Heart
I've
added a little Catholic Library -- a collection of
writings of the Doctors and Saints, plus other writings Catholics might
enjoy. Find it here: Index > Being Catholic > Catholic Library
I've
added "The Ten Commandments for the Scrupulous" written by
Redemptorist priests. It's off the "Sacrament of Penance" page
here: Index > Being Catholic > Sacrament
of Penance > The Ten Commandments for
the Scrupulous
I
added a page on how to get the traditional Latin Mass -- the
"Extraordinary Form" of the Mass -- offered at your parish. See that

Money Masters, video about our money system and the
Federal Reserve (Vox: I messed up earlier and had the video in two
parts -- but Parts I and II were the same. These videos have been
replaced with a single video. I beg pardon!)
Index
Page > For Catholics > The
Century of the Self, a four-part video miniseries about propaganda,
advertising, and other forms of media manipulation and their effects on
consumerism, social attitudes, and politics. I also added a few fun
videos to the "Fun Stuff" page, just for
laffs (with a few gems thrown in)...
I've
made a page about Catholics and beasties and have put it in the
"Being Catholic" section. It includes a sub-section consisting of St.
Basil the Great's expository on the Creation, "On the Hexaemeron." I
have a feeling this little page will grow as I find more stories of the
Saints and animals and such: Index > Being Catholic > Catholics and the Animal World > On the Hexaemeron
I
added a page about the Four Temperaments to introduce the Four
Temperaments personality test that has been at the site for a long
time: Index > Being Catholic > The
Four Temperaments (the test is no longer accessible through the Fun
Stuff page)
Via
youtube comes this series of what I consider hilarious and
well-edited (given obviously sparse equipment) videos about one really
neurotic, messed-up woman's (ahem) search for religious truth: Index
> Being Catholic > Fun Stuff > Betty
Butterfield's Quest for God
I've
added a section containing Christ's parables. It's, sad to say,
skimpy art-wise (I am looking around, trying to find medieval
art to use), but the parables are all there -- grouped as thirty-three
-- with commentary from the Fathers (or the Catholic Encyclopedia) when
available: Index > Being Catholic > The
Parables of Lord Christ
The
longer I am acquainted with the religious, the more I know
this story is necessary: The Story of the Two
Monks
A
page about the fascinating Sibyls and their role in Christianity,
Christian art, etc., has been added here: Index > Being Catholic
> The Sibyls
I
added the book "The Garbage Generation," by Daniel Amneus, once
available at the website Upstream (mugu.com). This book is a must-read
for those who deny the importance of patriarchy -- but I will have a
few things to say about it in an article I plan to write: Index >
For Catholics > The Garbage
Generation
I
am restricting the discussion forum to non-sedevacantist Catholics
(and, as always, to any guest who respects such Catholics'
sensibilities, speaks of the Holy Father with respect, and obeys the
rules of the forum). I'd wanted the forum to be "pan-trad" but am
finding that initial premises are too far-reaching in discussions among
sedes and non-sedes, and that non-sedes tend to be put on the defense
too often, leading to too many conversations about those premises, and
too few conversations about actually living the Faith. I was
also discouraged by some slurs and little snide remarks against the
Holy Father. Though these were kept, in accordance to the rules, in the
forum made for "sede vs. non-sede" debate, I simply don't want to
provide a place, on my dime, for comments such as these that would flow
naturally from sedevacantist premises. Respectful critism of papal
actions is sometimes not only warranted, but necessary;
disrespect, never giving the benefit of the doubt, and an apparent desire
to find problems aren't -- but those who don't believe Benedict XVI is
the Pope at all have no motivation to afford him that much.
Another change: the Zionism forum is now
"Read Only" due to problems in keeping troublemakers away.
Changed it back so everyone can post; we'll see how long it lasts.
Thanks
to youtube.com, I am able to present a video of the traditional
Mass: Index Page > Being Catholic > Video
of the Mass
As
I did with the pages on Ember Days, I amended the pages on Rogation
Days, adding lots of background information and readings: Index Page
> Being Catholic > Seasonal Customs > Rogation Days
Father Apollo Teaches a Lesson about Judging
Others
I
totally beefed up the pages on Ember Days, adding bits to tie things in
more clearly with the natural seasons. There is some repetition, as I
want each page on each of the Embertides to stand alone, but -- well,
you will see: Index Page > Being Catholic > Seasonal Customs >
Ember Days
The
most obvious thing that's new is the brilliant art on the index
page, created by artist Daniel Mitsui. I love it! Apparently many do,
considering what's been said about it at the forum. Mr. Mitsui, I thank
God for your talents!

(there is some repetition here from the Mary page in the "Defense of
Catholicism" area)
I
have fallen hopelessly in love with St. Ephraem. To the page on the
Sacrament of Penance (and also off the Feast of Mary Magdalen
page), I've added his Homily on
the Sinful Woman. Off the page on Precious
Stones in Sacred Scripture, I've added his "The
Pearl." You can find excerpts from his other works throughout the
site; use the search engine to locate some if you fall in love with
him, too.
In
the Index Page > Being Catholic > Seasonal Customs > area,
the following excerpts from Dom Gueranger's "The Liturgical Year" have
been added: Mystery of Advent, Mystery of Christmastide, Mystery of Septuagesima, Mystery of Lent, Mystery of Passiontide, Mystery of Paschal Time, and Mystery of the Time after
Pentecost -- each on the appropriate overview page for those
seasons.

to a
different board. You'll have to re-register, sorry! But please do

now...

So,
I've been playing with the front page, as you can see. It looks
radically different, but not much has changed, really. Summary of the
changes so far:
-
All the
apologetics links for Protestants, and the real audio conversion
stories, are now on the For Non-Catholic
Christians page.
-
All the Catholic
links that had been in the two columns on either side of the red boxes
on the index page are now on the Offsite Links
page.
-
The "Letters,
Conversations, Questions, and Comments" page has been re-named "Readers Write."
-
The "About this
Site," "Help Wanted," "Link to this Site" pages have been removed, and
some of their information incorporated into the "Questions/Comments"
page.
