The Ignatius Insight just published an article from Fr. Basil Cole Music and Spirituality | Fr. Basil Cole, O.P. | Ignatius Insight | Ignatius Insight that is very insightful and very much needed in this Society Gone Madd! I’ve read his book Music and Morals which really helped me, he is just awesome. Now he connects Music and Spirituality to the tune of St Thomas Aquinas – my favorite saint. Part of spirituality is using your mind, but people today seem to believe whatever they feel is ok. When music (or any of the arts, I believe) causes feeling a certain way for a prolonged period of time it is bound to have it’s effects. Please consider reading the article (which I think can be applied to all forms of the arts), it may change your life, like his book Music and Morals did mine.

Faith and Family Flix
By
Are you sick of the bad movies that have come out of Hollywood the past forty years? I have found a great alternative to Netflix and it operates very similarly. It has alot of wholesome content to choose from. Faith and Family Flix has alot of family friendly content. Are you sick of your children watching the bad tv shows that are on TV? Faith and Family Flix has alot of great content for children. It has documentary videos and saints videos. I read that they are currently screening the films in their catalog so that they’ll be free of profanity, graphic violence, sex and nudity.
Just like Netflix, no late fees, affordable monthly fees. They have plans to rent 1 DVD to 6 DVD’s at a time at a cost from $9.99 to $39.99 with no monthly limit. faithandfamilyflix.com
Media Overstepping the Mark
By
Zenit News Agency has a great article Benedict XVI: Media Overstepping the Mark about the sad state of the media today. It has big responsibilities and can do alot of good but they try to dictate policies instead of just reporting what has happened. They spread lies to control people instead of telling the truth of what is actually happening.

Be Wary of The Golden Compass
By
There is a lot of things you don’t need to be scared about – but this is something you should be at least very wary (cautious, suspicious, distrustful, guarded, careful) about if not downright scared. The author is unapologetic about the purpose of the film.

Something good from the writer’s strike
By
Something good has come from the writer strike, and just read that a sequel to the da Vinci code movie has been postponed. Maybe it will be good for other things too since if no one writes the bad things that come out of Hollywood they won’t get produced. We need to have more Catholic’s that follow the church’s teaching making some good movies.
