JEMAIL: Gallaher, Peter (MC1965) is going head to head with Amazon

Posted on February 15, 2011 by | Comments Off

Happy St. Valentine’s Day!

Many of you will have received this morning an e-mail from me on the subject of provoking a thought for the day. It spoke about where we word and the young people we encounter there in the course of our doing so.

The e-mail is legitimate, and so is the offer contained therein. Mariellen and I have recently opened, here in cyber-space, a storefront: The Christian Book Corner ( www.thechristianbookcorner.com) or t-CBC for short (www.t-CBC.com) and are offering a wide variety of Christian and Catholic Christian books, CDs, DVDs, and Children’s Books from a growing variety publishers at discounted prices.

Our “motto” is the books and other items you find in our store have all been chosen with care and chosen with prayer. If it is music, you will find only the best in the long tradition of Christian musical forms. If it is Children’s books, you may choose any of our offerings and not worry that your children or grandchildren will be frightened, offended or scandalized.

We invite you to drop by and browse among the shelves from time to time.

For those who received the previous e-mail, I apologize for any puzzlement. It was supposed to come AFTER this one. Forgive me. I’m brand new at this.

JHQ: “Catholic Higher Education: Carrying on God’s Noiseless Work”

Posted on February 15, 2011 by | Comments Off

Dr. O’Donnell Discusses The Good News in Catholic Higher Education at ACCU Conference

Brennan O’Donnell, Ph.D., president of Manhattan College, was invited by the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU) to co-present with Sister Janet Eisner, S.N.D., president of Emmanuel College, on the good news in Catholic higher education at the 2011 annual meeting, Catholic Higher Education: Carrying on God’s Noiseless Work. The event was held in downtown Washington D.C. from Jan. 28-31.

The Good News of Catholic Higher Education presentation was the concluding session at the meeting and was developed to convey a message of hope to the attendees that Catholic higher education, despite many challenges, is stronger than ever in the U.S. Both presidents offered their own unique background and experience with Dr. O’Donnell as a fairly new lay president and Sr. Eisner’s more than 30 years with Emmanuel College. O’Donnell and Sr. Eisner decided to focus their joint presentation on Catholic higher education during the 1980s, 1990s and the turn of the century up to today through their personal professional experiences.

The ACCU’s annual meeting helps the organization to further expand its reach and purpose by promoting and strengthening the mission and character of Catholic higher education in the United States.

A communicant of St. Joseph Church, for many years he served as head usher, and was a familiar face at the 7 a.m. Mass.

Dear John,

   I believe that Jack was a member of that great Class. 1953!

   May He Rest In Peace.

   Mike

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. I suspect that there may be a hint of bias in the attributing of "greatness" to any Class. Except of course '68. How does measure "greatness"? I remember Brother Austin Barry: "If you can't measure it, you don't know anything about it." He was great as an "entertainer". Not sure how much I learned from him. Other than the difference between blunders and errors. Both of which I make a lot of.]

MFOUND: MC “Catholic-ocity” slammed in Spanish blog

Good news for Catholic universities
At 9:43 AM, by Bruno

*** begin quote ***

Another thing the friend said O’Donnell is taking a penalty to the University to adopt the spirit of Vatican II, through the “open drain” and a “welcoming spiritual environment.” In this I totally agree. They have taken all the way down the “spirit of the Council” was talking about the Pope and that has absolutely nothing to do with what the Council actually said. They are no longer Catholic universities and it is time to take the consequences . As the Americans say, you can not eat the cake and still having it. By the way, can you imagine something like that happened in Spain?

*** end quote ***

[JR: May I point to several "defenses" that I've made as an alumni?http://goo.gl/yN97D To recap, in the USA, under the protection of the First Amendment, the Government is supposed to steer clear of religion. If the local Cardinal Archbishop hasn't delisted Manhattan College as a Catholic school, which they have in other cases, then who is this committee of Gooferment Bureaucrats, or anyone, else to say otherwise. No one has detailed any harm suffered by the adjunct faculty. The fact that the school has to spend its pennies wisely means that it gets to survive in a trouble complex environment that it finds itself thrown into. I'd hope that Catholics would tread lightly on these reports and don't believe everything that is asserted. Even this modest defense.]

Dear CIC,

According to my Catholic calender, the feast day of St. John Baptiste De La Salle is April 7. Do I need a new calender?

Sincerely,

[JR: No, but you may need a new "calendar". :-) Don't worry us injineers don't "spel so well"! (Normally, I'd have fixed, but you're a "good sport" and I don't think you'll mind some ribbing. This difference in facts demonstrates the Johari window. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window Which I always TRY (“Do or do not... there is no try.” To do it justice, you must say the word try with all the revulsion and disgust you can put on it. Like you were talking about a rapist, a child murderer, or a politician! -- Yoda (Fictional character from George Lucas's "Star Wars" movie) to remember when I point out "right and wrong". :-) In this case, everyone has "the truth".]

[JR: Nice to know it's read]

JR

I enjoyed reading the correspondence between you and Father Dan. Thanks for bringing the issue to light. Hope all is well.

Erin ’92

[JR: Good. That's why it's her; the joy, encouragement, and recognition of our fellow Jaspers. Just a fat old white guy injineer with too much time on his hands. Ticks me off when Alma Mater gets slimed when she doesn't deserve it.]
