I was very excited when Deacon Jeff of the Catholic Cafe (radio show and podcast) informed me of his newest show, with a Paulist Priest. Father Bruce Nieli, a Paulist, engaged in conversation dealing with the concept of "The New Evangelization" and revealing a picture of the movement everyone should strive to understand. A little history on the Catholic Cafe Join us in the “luxurious corner booth” of The Catholic Café as host Deacon Jeff Drzycimski and co-host Tom Dorian engage a variety of guests in conversation about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Each week we’ll premier a new, thirty-minute radio program focusing on one of many Catholic beliefs.  Catholic Cafe - About Page That is a quote from the official website for the Catholic Cafe. Deacon Jeff and Tom Dorian are Cursillistas and I get the blessing of small grouping with these to dynamic men of faith, in the Catholic Diocese of Memphis. I was also blessed when I was invited to some of the meetings as the Catholic Cafe was being cultivated in Deacon Jeff's mind. Throughout the past few years, the Catholic Cafe has produced a wide variety of topics that assist those seeking to deepen their faith and knowledge as "being Catholic." Do take the time and visit this great resource online: www.TheCatholicCafe.com On the first segment, Father Nieli shares on a few key points/ topics of The New Evangelization. The Culture Sector, Social Sector, Civic Sector and  Science Sector. Fr. Bruce did mention that there are six (6) topics, so I hope to find out the rest of the story,... On the second segment, in the discussion the term "enthusiasm" is mentioned as being a key term used in the movement. Deacon Jeff shares his personal testimonial about his relation with his family, and the need to be "enthusiastic" with them. "Joy" being a second term shared during this episode of Catholic Cafe, Fr. Bruce Nieli shares his favorite saint, St. Francis of Assisi. Vatican II is discussed, and how to primary aspects should be a constant work in progress; renewed love of the bible and RCIA. You will also hear mentions of joyful prayer, reading the Catholic Catechism, and participating in events and groups at your parish. NOW!

Looking into how the Church views Mary; Blessed Virgin, Blessed Mother, Holy Mother, Holy Queen, Mother of Christ, Intercessor ... Intercessor ... you said WHAT ABOUT MARY? Mary, Mother of Jesus a topic of discussion that can go on for hours. Looking into how the Church views Mary; Blessed Virgin, Blessed Mother, Holy Mother, Holy Queen, Mother of Christ, Intercessor ... Intercessor ... you said WHAT ABOUT MARY? I guess around my neighborhood in the Mid-south the topic of Catholics worshiping Mary is always a good conversation, among the Catholics and Protestants that hangout together. This past week Deacon Jeff, of the Catholic Cafe, was sharing with me some of his studies on our Blessed Mother, Mary. This caused me to look back into the past, on the Catholic Cafe website and search for topics of Mary. Check out the link to one of Deacon Jeff's podcast on the Catholic Cafe: The Catholic Cafe - Mary This podcast had Fr. Ben Bradshaw as the guest speaker. Deacon Jeff (and sidekick Tom Dorian) refer to Fr. Ben as the Catholic Cafe's Head Chef. Fr. Bradshaw was a professional chef, before becoming a priest, and everyone likes his cookies. If you enjoy Fr. Ben Bradshaw in the Mary episode of the Catholic Cafe, you might like his YouTube video on our Blessed Mother. Father Ben has a series of videos out on YouTube, his channel Catholic Nuggets.   If you would like to know a little more about Mary, Mother of Jesus, or Marian Theology :: Here are some links from SQPN, iPadre, and the Catholic Hack you can start with.
