Jimmy,
As a follow-up to the 2nd item you listed on the show, are there any canonical regulations around 2 Catholics in an invalid marriage getting their child baptized? My sister-in-law married a divorced Catholic in a Unitarian(Doh!) ceremony because while he was in the process of getting an annulment, that process was not(and still isn’t I think) complete. She may be pregnant and I am guessing that they may want the baby baptized.
Jimmy,
Make this a weekly habit. I love your show, but because of work tuning-in is hit or miss.
Jimmy,
Ever consider doing a list of questions asked in a particular Q&A show for the whole set of shows on Catholic.com Sometimes I want something fun to listen to so I’ll pick one at random. Othertimes I’d like to hear an answer to a question I have, and having a list of the questions asked as a pop-up or heads-up display would be really keen.
RE: books on the Reformation from a Catholic perspective, there’s Belloc’s “How the Reformation Happened” (see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0895554658/qid=1105130919/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-1737865-6837444?v=glance&s=books).
Whenever I think of Melchizedek, I think of the passages about him in Hebrews (you know, the book that states that the husband should make the coffee).
Re: Reformation history.
Fr. Philip Hughes’ “Popular History of the Reformation” is excellent, as is the section in Harry Crocker’s “Triumph”.
Re: Sven/Melchizedek/coffee. My wife and I read that in Hebrews too and after 31 years I STILL make the coffee every morning. Sometimes it really does help to read the instructions [bible].
Re: Sven/Melchizedek/coffee/brain drippings. Of course after so many years of being the first one up in the morning, and making the coffee, perhaps an evolutionist would say that I am guarding the entrance to the cave while my mate sleeps.[lazy bones]Or I could be rising early to greet my creator and get my day off on the right foot.
