fides quarens intellectum

[url="http://www.christopherwest.com/videos/default.asp"]Link to a video of Christopher West talking about Katy Perry.[/url] You do have to do a sign-in in order to watch it; video is about ten minutes long, but worth it, in my opinion.

Personally, as much as i can't stand hearing that song when i'm at the gym, i just want to jump up and cheer when the Christopher West video hits about minute eight and he says, "I am sick and tired of this puritanical BS that passes for Christianity." :clap: Anyway, enjoy!

My friends and I, after the Papal Mass at WYD made up new lyrics to this song, but kept the tune.

"I prayed with the Pope and I liked it, the sight of his cherry red shoes. I prayed with the Pope just to try it, I hope my atheist friends don't mind it. It felt so right, it felt so holy, don't mean I want to die tonight."



hehe :)

(PS. Thanks for the video!)

you just have to put in an email....

but that was soooo true. We should have compassion and yet we teach our kids to discern what is good and bad in our society. We can't shield the youth from the world, we need to teach them how to discern what is good and bad and talk about it.

great stuff.

ooh! Thanks for the new lyrics! That song is way too catchy - it's already stuck in my head, even though i wish it weren't.

Great breakdown by the way.[/quote]


yes, indeed - he always sings during his talks. i really liked it when you could see his passion coming out when he was talking about how hurt she's been.

Great avatar by the way. ;)

For some reason I didn't go to to any of his talks at WYD, but I did see him the previous time he came to Australia.

Yeah, this is just exactly what Katy Perry wants. Attention from Chris West. Or attention from anyone, for that matter.

Way to go. :rolleyes:

Much, much, much more pressing issues in the world that Katy Perry's stupid song.

just curious - did you watch the clip before saying that?

i think he addresses a number of what some (myself included) would consider "pressing issues." Personally, i happen to find proclaiming the TOB pretty important in the scheme of things, but that's just me. :)

:yes:

[quote name='J.P.' post='1625349' date='Aug 12 2008, 12:36 PM']Chris West is my new hero.

Anyone know where we can get posters?[/quote]

:hehe: i don't think he'd like that, though - he's pretty humble.

Ever since I read about her at Plugged In Online, I've been disgusted with her. At the same time I feel sorry that she had to forget her faith and choose the life of fame. How sad. :(

Agreed! TOB is the at the forefront of a cultural change which would bring God's Kingdom here. If we can first believe our own selves, and our bodies are not "bad", then I believe that we will understand those around us much more than we ever would otherwise.

Katy Perry's song is a perpetuation of the culture of death. Not just another "stupid song" as some would have it. A stupid song would be if I had a Million Dollars by the Barenaked Ladies.

Wake up.
