Pope Benedict XVI
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
The Scope and Function of Gravissimum Educationis
A blog from the perspective of a 25-year-old Catholic teacher. Loyal to the magisterium, devoted to the traditional liturgy (though not in practice to the exclusion of the ordinary form), and committed to giving religious education, I hope that this blog will be of interest to others, and of use to other educators. I especially hope that readers will make critical judgements and share ideas in the comment boxes.

A Prayer Before Logging onto the Internet
Almighty and eternal God,who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee,that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
With thanks to the author of this prayer, Fr Zuhlsdorf

Good luck with the move. And we'll be waiting for your return, so hurry back!
Thanks, Mac. Well done renewing the vows. May the Lord bless you. I'm hoping that in London I can come to a bloggers' lunch!
Name the day!
(Actually, you're better off co-ordinating with Fr Tim because my diary's pretty free for lunch (weekends and holidays, obviously!)
This blog may be interesting. I have put it in the favourites to read later. I have also saved the link to the document. I am Head of RS in an independent day school. We are one of two non RC schools using the Way, the Truth & the Life pub. by CTS. It is orthodox & theological. I have not actually joined the RC church myself yet. I am the sort of Anglo-papalist who believes the lot!
Good luck.RT
The Way the Truth and The Life is sound doctrinally, but it stinks as a textbook... as a teacher you have to know your stuff so as to flesh it out and bring it to life... the activities aren't enough for a whole lesson, and many of them aren't very imaginative.
Unfortunately, in most Catholic schools, the teachers often either do not have the background knowledge, or do not believe it, and so the presentation is very dry.
It's a very good extra resource though... and knocks spots off "Icons" !
Come back, Holy Office... We're in need of some 'sane traditionalism'!
Just kidding, I suppose you must still be busy with more important things- hope you and the family have a peaceful and blessed Christmas.
J.M.
Happy Christmas!
'No posting for a week or so' yeah, yeah, Gravy. Where are you? Hope you haven't broken your thumbs or anything...
