New Podcast: More Rapid Fire

It seems that Jim and I are liking the whole “rapid fire” concept when it comes to podcasts. In our latest edition, we even add fanfare music. You can listen here.

    Lots of stuff there. Some reactions:

    I recall that the scattering of ashes is forbidden, too. The way we Christians are buried is a sign of what we believe about our salvation & bodily resurrection, when all things will be made new in God. As a Lutheran friend once joked about people who deny the legitimacy of cremation for Christians, “Yeah, you’re right: God’s probably not smart enough to put everything back together again.” Interesting that when Bl. John Henry Newman was exhumed, there wasn’t anything left of his body at all.

    There is some risk with having small electronic devices in the confessional. I can very easily see some teenagers who think it’d be funny to have their friends listen in on their confession. Or perhaps people might make fake confessions just to record the reaction of the priest with intent to make it public – gay rights groups, YouTube hijinx, etc. Or people might record their confession with honest intentions, but still have it become known later.

    Believe it or not, I’ve had several instances of 15 or 20 minute-long “pocket” recordings being left as messages on my cell phone by folks who didn’t realize they had accidentally dialed me. So, if you can imagine it, it’s happening. Anything that helps one make a decent examination of conscience is good, but the 10 Commandments & the Sermon on the Mount are pretty useful, too; no gizmos required. Just saying.

    Holding hands during the Our Father? Pass.
