One of the parishioners was kind enough to send me a question about Purgatory. Here is her question and my response: I know that it is good to pray for the souls in Purgatory, but can we pray to them?Well, here's the short and long of it.Short answer: From what I can tell, the Church has not definitively settled this question. There is definitely nothing that explicitly forbids it. As such, it rem

At last, I'm back! Hehe. I am busy, and will still be, but I just have to post these two links which I find might be profitable for me and you to study. I discovered these pages as I was surfing about the net for a project (reflections on the next life) in religious education. These links compare what the Catholic Church teaches and what the Bible teaches about the next life, because until now

Today, Redite Pon Julungwangi, Balinese celebrates Siwaratri, here is the interesting article on last year edition:Tomorrow, on the dark moon of the seventh month based on the Balinese lunar calendar system, Balinese will celebrate the Siwaratri or the Night of Siwa. This holy day is devoted to God Siwa, the destroyer. Balinese believes that on this day, God Siwa, the destroyer meditate for the welfare of the world, and the God Siwa will bestow a pardon for all sin to someone if he accompany the God Siwa in his meditation by observing some self restriction and meditate on the night of Siwaratri.The Brata (self-restriction) of Siwaratri includes Jagra (staying awake all night long), Upawasa (fasting), and Monabrata (silence). There are three major level of self- restriction, Balinese can ch
Make haste, make haste!What: Pride and PrejudiceWhen: Sunday, February 17, 9pm (check local listings)Where: The sofa in front of your TV (USA)Be there or be square.If you haven't had your fill of Pride and Prejudice chatter, turn your attention to blogger Annette's thoughtful discourse on the superiority of the BBC production. You know her opinions are to be trusted when she says:[...] [Jennifer Ehle's] performance makes Lizzy real and down to earth. Her personality comes through so clearly that again, it’s hard to believe that she’s NOT Elizabeth Bennett. The performance has a lot of depth as well. Her anger at the proposal scene is a controlled simmer, not an explosive one, which would have been easier to perform, I’m sure. But this way it’s a more powerful moment. Her eyes are
I used to think Edison Chen is cute, even though my ex thinks he is just ok. Anyway, right now, the sex video scandal nowadays can really kill this naughty boy, at least he will lose lots of money from the contracts he made with some companies. Basically, I think he was just very very stupid to let strangers to recover his data on his hard drive which contained lots of private things. Or is it because he didn't care about it, because he is just a man whore? Whatever reason it is, the mistake he made is definitely taking its on toll on not only himself, but also some famous Hong Kong female stars. It is just so ironic to see Cecilia and Gillian's nasty naked pictures when both of the girls are the role models in HK, who educated young kids not to have sex before marriage...WTF...LOL...I hea
Take a trip to Lourdes during the “special offer” period starting this weekend till December 8, 2008, says Pope Benedict XVI.
This piece of news had me both laughing and shaking my head in disbelief (yes, I can do both at the same time!). Yet, on the other hand, it also saddened me to know that there’d be Roman Catholics who will believe this spiel and make the pilgrimage and be filled with false hope!

You've said many times that you know just enough Japanese to get yourself into trouble. Just before Nova bought a one way ticket to Palookaville, wise old Bourne was Linford Christie quick off the mark and visited Hello Work in Kyoto several times to get information and make his face known. His approach is, "I don't care what usually happens in these situations, I'll leave when you get your wallet out." It helps that he's a level 2 at Japanese because when you go you quickly realise you're gonna get as far as an octopus in a daring sushi restaurant escape bid.You can't make the staff understand your Japanese when you decide to give up and go home empty-handed:AI understand there's nothing you can do for me know so I'm going to go home and wait for the appropriate documents to arrive fro

The topic below was originally posted on my blog, the Intrepid Liberal Journal as well as the Independent Bloggers Alliance, The Peace Tree and Worldwide Sawdust. Alan Greenspan belongs to the Club of Emasculated Moderate Elites who enabled corporate theocrats to destroy the American Dream at home and annihilate our moral authority abroad. A prerequisite for membership is to first allow crazy ideologues to exploit their prestige and later disown the disastrous policies their reputations facilitated. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is a charter member of this club and a pathetic figure who criticizes the Bush Administration about Iraq when it no longer matters. Powell’s domestic policy soul mate, Alan Greenspan, joined him with his new memoir, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures In a New World.Actually, one could argue that Greenspan was a charter member as early as 2001. The prescient and sagacious Paul Krugman wrote the following for his column entitled “Reckonings; Doing th
This week, Polish president Lech Kaczyński called for early parliamentary polls this autumn. However, it is unlikely that elections will put a stop to Poland's political crisis. Instead, early polls may propel Poland into a prolonged political purgatory - further polarising positions between parties and political generations.For long, there was unity to avoid early elections within the ruling coalition government. The dominant party in cabinet, the Law and Justice Party (PiS), led by the Kaczyński twins, has shunned the option of early elections, while going to the polls this autumn, would cause the next elections to coincide with Poland's 2011 EU presidency. For remaining coalition partners, the Self-Defence Party and the League of Polish Families, early elections hold the prospects of potential political annihilation.Therefore, it is only after months of cabinet turmoil that the Polish president has finally concluded that there was no other way out than to take the drastic step i
I recently was traveling in Phillipsburg, St. Maarten. It was raining so I took cover in an old church. While looking around I saw a box that said “Souls of Purgatory.” I didn’t know you could buy your way out of Purgatory but I thought what the hell and tossed in a few coins. This might be the extra push I need to make it into heaven.
