The Lamb's Supper By Scott Hahn

Cool...got it

[Margarite]

I would like to know if we are going to have books with the [i][b]Nihil Obstat[/b][/i] and the [i][b]Imprimatur[/b][/i]. They are official declarations that a book of pamphlet is free of doctrinal and or moral error. I know The Lamb's Supper does have it.

If you can Listen to Dr. Hahn's Convertion story before or while you read the book. It gave me chills.

I suggest as a book for next month: [u]Liberalism is a Sin[/u]. It was written in 1886, and the man who wrote it was rebuked by his bishop. The bishop wrote a book and called for [u]Liberalism is a Sin[/u] to be placed on the banned books list. However, after reviewing the two books, the banned books list said that [u]Liberalism is a Sin[/u] is a perfect defense of Catholic teaching, and the bishop's book was placed on the banned books list. It is quite interesting. I have just begun reading it, but it was a great book. My friends tell me that no matter who reads it, he finds that he is a liberal. I wanted to see if this was true for me, for I knew it couldn't be...so far so good. God bless.

If it was written in 1886, then it is probably addressing classical liberalism, such as is held today by many Libertarians and conservative Republicans. Classical liberalism says that if you see a man lying in a gutter, he got himself there - you don't have to worry about anything because it's his fault, not yours. The Church [i]vehemently[/i] opposed such thought with books like this, as well as Pope Leo XIII's encyclical [i]Rerum Novarum[/i]. The Second Vatican Council also condemned such thought in [i]Gaudium et Spes[/i].

People like Michael Medved, Pat Buchanan and Pat Robertson (sic, I think) would be MORE than happy to be called liberals in the classical sense. Modern liberals are mere socialists.

1) It addresses only RELIGIOUS liberalism. However, it does mention (in the preface, I think) that it can be applied to politics, et al.

2) Rerum Novarum doesn't say you have to have welfare... (but you are right--it does mention rights of the worker, such as a minimum wage)

3) I don't think Pat (Buchanan) would leave someone in a gutter unless it were a Mohammadist or another heretic, which we aren't required to aid. We, obviously, should give our money to poor and suffering Catholics. No Catholic would deny one of the members of the Church Militant money if he so needed (if he wishes to remain a Catholic).

God bless.

Weird things happen by leiu of the Holy Spirit. Yesterday, when I was at my youth groups music practice, one of my friends moms (who's also friends with my mom) came up to me and handed me "The Lamb's Supper." I was amazed, she said that my mom had told her that she wanted to borrow it so that I could read it, but my mom had failed to mention it to me. So now I have the book, so I"m in!

I started reading it right away, and I love it so far, so woohoo, on to the discussion posts!

Oh, funny little side note, I love Scott Hahn, and one of the best things about it, is that next year I'll be attending Franciscan Univ, and eventually in my studies there, he's bound to be one of my professors.. or at least I'm praying he will be.
