Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Greetings This Holy Season. I favor keeping “Christ in Christmas,” but I am not offended by those who wish me “Happy Holidays! According to a Wikepedia article, the expression “Happy Holidays” became a Christmas greeting in American English in a 1937 Camel cigarette advertisement. Previously it had been used in British English in reference to the summer-time break from school. Came from the Old English term haeligdaeg. Means “holy day.”. In the literal sense when we wish someo...

Father Norm's Notebook: February 2015
http://fathernormsnotebook.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Catholics across America (and perhaps around the world) are being pulled right and left by their pastors. For six to twelve years a congregation hears homilies promoting the values of Vatican II and its subsequent practices. A new pastor is appointed and the congregation hears homilies about the dangers of Vatican II and its application. The first pastor focuses on freedom, God’s mercy and forgiveness. The next pastor emphasizes law, sin and hell. Are couples coming for wedd...

Father Norm's Notebook: July 2015
http://fathernormsnotebook.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Pope Francis as Comforting and Afflicting Prophet. It is commonly held that the cardinal electors who chose Jorge Bergoglio to be the new pope were giving him the mandate to reform the Church, with iummediate attention to the Curia. Pope Francis took on that task, notably in forming his “Group of Nine,” cardinals from around the world who form an advisory (and investigative) panel to help him in his role as leader of the Catholic Church. From the start of his papacy, however, Pope...

Father Norm's Notebook: "Laudato Si" and the Precautionary Principle
http://fathernormsnotebook.blogspot.com/2015/06/laudatio-si-and-precautionary-principle_18.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Laudato Si" and the Precautionary Principle. Not everyone accepts that we are experiencing “global warming” and many question (if there is global warming) whether human beings are responsible for it. In his encyclical Laudato si. The problem with interpreting the facts and what the pope says here focuses on his use of the restrictive term “a number of scientific studies.” Such a reference suggests there is not a consensus. Concern about our earthly environment is obviously more i...

Thursday, September 18, 2014. Good News About Marriage. At last, some good news about marriage and divorce. Social researcher Shaunti Feldhahn has discovered that couples have a much better chance of making their marriage last “til death do us part” than previously thought. Using 2009 Census Bureau statistics, she discovered that 72 per cent of people are still married to their first spouse. Still better news is her discovery that “most married people today enjoy being married to their spouse and, ...
