I'm sick of the media. As I've blogged before on July 30, and September 23, 25, 30, of this year, the media will say anything to sell its product. My first inclination is to throw my apron off and retreat to the Cape and vegetate. But on second thought, as attractive as that may be, I feel called to do battle. I may still head down to the Cape, but not to retreat. I'm fighting the modern, cultural spin, to what is the Truth. I'll do my part to expose the misconstruction and throw light on what is true.
I wrote this last Nov, upon hearing that the Pope was condoning condoms...NOT! Anyway, I just read Fr. Tim's blog, The Hermeneutic of Continuity, where the media turned the minds of the powers that be.
What am I talking about?
In the past, Vienna had these sacrilegious Masses. Writing to Cardinal Schonborn had no appreciable affect. Neither did writing to the Vatican. Petitions didn't work, either. It was Gloria TV blasting video clips on the internet that got everyone's attention. That worked. As Father Tim said, " If a picture is worth a thousand words, a YouTube (or Gloria TV) is worth a lot more. You could write several thousand words to Bishops and Vatican dicasteries and get nowhere, but a short video clip buzzing around the Catholic blogosphere can be an economic way for the laity to exercise their right under canon law to manifest their concerns to their pastors."fb
uzzinga picture is worth a thousand words, a YouTube (or Gloria TV) video is worth quite a lot more. You could write several thousand words to Bishops and Vatican dicasteries and get nowhere, but a short video clip buzzing round the Catholic blogosphere can be an economic way for the laity to exercise their right under canon law to manifest their concerns to their pastors.
