‘Canto fermo’ is the term for an existing melody used as the basis for a new composition. The prose and poetry of mystics like John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein – all informed by the Gospel – is my ‘melody’. The ‘new composition’ is this blog and my indie novel ‘The Age for Love’. To buy my book go to amazon.com or smashwords.com and download to your kindle, iPad, phone or any reading device.

CATHOLICS DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING!
At Mass this morning Father told us how he gets asked by people who want to become Catholics, "Where's the list of what I have to believe?"
"There isn't one!" says Father, and he waves his arms. "You don't have to believe anything to be a Catholic!"
And then he asks us to stand up and recite the Nicene Creed.
I ask you ...
So this is what the recent national diocesan gathering of Catholic priests in Christchurch was all about.
They call it 'Evangelisation and Mission'.
