Oro Valley Catholic

By: Fr. John Arnold
  • Summary

  • “If other ages felt less, they saw more, even though they saw with the blind, prophetical, unsentimental eye of acceptance, which is to say, of faith. In the absence of this faith now, we govern by tenderness. It is a tenderness which, long cut off from the person of Christ, is wrapped in theory. When tenderness is detached from the source of tenderness, its logical outcome is terror. It ends in forced-labor camps and in the fumes of the gas chamber.” - Flannery O'Connor, A Memoir of Mary Ann

  • St. Luke - Liar, Lunatic Or Truth
    Jan 25 2025
    Much controversy between skeptics and believers. It is one thing to say that, as a materialist, I do not believe in the Resurrection. It is another thing to claim that the Gospel writers were anonymous, didn't know Jesus and made the story up years later. You can have your own dogma, not your own evidence. Listen about St. Luke's concern for historicity, this week on OVC. Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/012625.cfm Music by St. Mark Choir pursuant to One License Annual License w/Podcasting # A-726294 Art: Medallion with Saint Luke from an Icon Frame, Byzantine, ca. 1100
