Hi Suburbanbanshee,
I am bringing out a CD of Gaelic Christmas songs shortly – mostly Irish, except for Leanabh an Aigh. I wondered if you could tell me the source of the following verse? Another version of it is in Ortha na nGael:
Neartaich ar dòchas,
Meudach ar n-eòlas,
Cùm sinn nad ròidean
Direach, dlùth
Le ola nar lòchrain,
Mar ris na h-òighibh,
A’ seinn, ann an glòir,
An òrain ùir.
It is a particularly nice version of this verse.
Mile buiochas.
Really am enjoying the mysteries. Would you consider doing Sheila Kaye-Smith’s books? A convert to Catholicism from Anglo-Catholicism.
Searching for Lillian Campus from SWEDEN.
Mail to: onsketrojan@telia.com if you find her.
Matter of religion!!
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Lloyd Alexander passed away last Thursday. He died of cancer, in hospice care, two weeks after the death of his wife of 61 years. He was 83 years old. Requiescat in pace to both of them.
Hi there!
I have been enjoying reading your blog for some while now, especially when you post about fiction you enjoy reading. I recently helped with a self-published book called “The Voyage to Ruin,” which is an illustrated fantasy/adventure novel about piracy, scullduggery, and all manner of swashbucklery. I would be honored if you would take a look: http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1017584
Thanks!

I blog to you on behalf of Fr. Frank Pavone and Priests for Life. Fr. Pavone recently posted two videos on You Tube in which he describes and demonstrates the two most common abortion techniques, using the actual instruments of abortion and the words found in medical textbooks and court testimony.
You can view these videos at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us_y9GP_-DA (Dismemberment abortion) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBOAPleF1t0 (Suction abortion).
These videos are part of a new project called, “Is This What You Mean?” It aims to educate the public about the nature of abortion and to challenge public officials and candidates who support the legality of abortion to admit what it is. A full description of the project is at http://www.priestsforlife.org/action/abortion-procedure-revealed.htm .
We are asking blog moderators to post a link or set-up an area on their blog for easy access to view our two You Tube videos.
As Fr. Pavone has quoted in endless homilies and talks about public servants who are pro-choice, there is a difference between serving the public and killing the public. Abortion has lost its meaning and is just a word to some politicians. In fact, as long as it has been since Jan.22 1973, the public is still not aware of what an abortion is and what it looks like. Again, we urge you to view Fr. Pavone’s demonstrations and forward this to anybody unaware such as parents, pastors, teachers, government officials etc….
In Christ,
David–MEV

Sooo, you like-a da musike celtique? Good friend from Pittsburgh sends me your way. Would love to correspond if you like.
Best fishes,

I’m new at this blogging and actually just slipped into this site because of a comment (*nice comment) written by a priest re: the celtic contributions of a Maureen. I’m looking for some “good old fashioned”, Irish influenced, Catholic information, the kind that Fr. Andrew Greeley writes about in his fiction. Is this such a place?
allie
Maureen – this is you, right?
We’ve been deeply regretting losing touch, and I wanted to at least send you a holiday card, but I have no idea where you are now. If you get this please drop me a note with your current snail location? Thanks – hope all is well! – E & S
wow … u have super site …. pls maintain it
Dear Friend, I too am a desc3endent of Terrence Albert. I grew up in Minneosta knowing we had an ancestor who was martyred by the English–we did not know who–amazing that it passed on verbally–then my sister who does family history discovered it was Terrence Albert. Sister Donald Corcoran
Good stuff here. Thanks for the effort. I am Orthodox, having come in from the evangelical protestant realm. I appreciate your grasp of the Early Church Fathers and Scripture. If we can all keep all 3 legs of the stool we use to seek truth, 1. Scripture, 2. Holy Tradition, and 3. Reason, we could have a better platform to be the body of Christ in this fallen, broken world. Sad to see many 2 and even one legged stools around us falling.
Hey, great site. I found it because I was looking for counterarguments to the extreme modesty people who wanna ban pants on women. These people have been getting on my nerves lately.
One thing I’d love to see you address: the issue of “Marylike modesty,” as in only wearing clothes the Blessed Mother would wear. I know she is supposed to be a role model to all Catholics, but should it go this far? One guy I read on Catholic Answers says he makes his daughter go jogging in a long skirt, ’cause hell is hotter than the 90-degree weather.
Or how would you address the Saints like John Chrysostom who claim women should always be veiled in public, not just in church… it certainly seems like most saints would in fact be scandalized by even our modern modest styles, not to mention swimsuits and sportswear. I personally would follow what JPII had to say on the issue, as well as a good dose of common sense, but you seem to be much more well-versed in issues like this than I am, so I’d love to see your take on it.
Anyway, God bless you and keep it up!
I don’t notice today’s Catholic men wearing what Chrysostom recommended as menswear. Hmmmm. Funny, that. Don’t notice them dressing much like St. Joseph or Jesus, either. (Tertullian, bless his heart, actually did get het up about the men of his time wanting women to dress modestly, but refusing to wear the equivalent traditional men’s dress. It’s called “on the pallium/cloak”, or something like that. He had his moments, for sure.)
The point of prudence is to go from principles to specifics, without erring either through being overly harsh/strange or overly worldly/conformist. St. Francis de Sales talks about this.
Could you contact me at the email provided, thanks! (I have a question concerning a translation)
Thanks for your comment on http://macrotypography.blogspot.de/
I’ve recently been trying to unscramble the age of the world calculations Beatus uses, and will post about this. I guess you have seen the 2012 edition of Beatus edited by Roger Gryson in the Latina series of Corpus Christianorum, SL 107B-C.
Noooo, I haven’t seen that at all. Thanks for letting me know!
Excellent Site! I love it.
Page 87 in “THE BLESSED VIRGIN IN THE FATHERS OF THE FIRST SIX CENTURIES” seems to be a dead link. Could you fix this?
Hi suburban banshee. I wonder if you could drop me a line please?
thank you,
