Catholic Online: Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi. As we Worship, So we Believe, So we Live

This is a great article and points out how liberals inside the Church have eroded our beautiful Catholic identity and traditions.

“There is a Latin maxim that addresses the centrality of worship in the life, identity and mission of the Catholic Church; “Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi“. The phrase in Latin literally means the law of prayer (“the way we worship”) is the law of belief (“what we believe”). It is sometimes expanded to as, “lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi”, further deepening the implications of this truth – how we worship reflects what we believe and determines how we will live.

Liturgical worship is not an “add on” for a Catholic Christian. It is the foundation of Catholic identity; expressing our highest purpose. Worship reveals what we truly believe and how we view ourselves in relationship to God, one another and the world into which we are sent to carry forward the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ.”

Catholic Church Wins Battle In Connecticut

Good news to report.  The Catholic League has announced that the unconstitutional bill to put Connecticut’s government in charge of the Catholic Church has been pulled.

While this is a huge victory, it is shocking that this battle even needed to be fought.  Many of us have been upset with the disregard of the Tenth Amendment and the ever growing Federal Government.  Now that our religious freedoms have been so blatantly attacked, I hope more people will awaken to the fact that our Republic no longer exists as our Founding Fathers intended.

Our Founders clearly understood that all of our rights come from God.  No government on Earth has the authority to take our God given rights.  I completely agree with Bill Donahue of the Catholic League who stated, “For their fascist stunt, they should at least be censured by their colleagues. Ideally, they should resign or be forced out of office.”

 

Catholics’ Freedom Of Religion Under Assault In Connecticut

The Catholic Church is being attacked in Connecticut.  Obviously, a government assault on religious freedom in Connecticut will affect our entire Republic eventually.  The Catholic League is on it.  Be sure and follow the link and let Connecticut know what you think about this unconstitutional assault on our religious freedoms.  After all, many left England to flee this kind of tyranny.  Don’t think you have to be Catholic to weigh in; this will affect all Christians in time.
