The Last Memory of an Ol' Brownie Fan

Credo's friend Bill Borst announced last night that he was insprired to write a play humorously combining mountains of baseball trivia and sentiment with a Catholic outlook on life and loss. A 78 year old man deals with fading memories of the things most dear to him: his wife Maggie and his favorite baseball team, the old St. Louis Browns.
There will be a reading of the play by the author at 6:30 p.m. on Monday October 22nd sponsored by the St. Louis Writers Group at Big Daddy's, 1000 Sidney Street, the corner of 10th and Sidney in Soulard near the Brewery.

EWTN to Broadcast Extraordinary Liturgy & Discussions

All times here given in Central Daylight Time.


This past July 7^th, Pope Benedict XVI affirmed the beauty and importance of the classical liturgy by issuing an instruction titled Summorum Pontificum, confirming and protecting the right of all Latin Rite priests to use the ancient form of the Mass.

The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) will broadcast a live Solemn High Mass at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama on September 14^th, 2007 at 7:00 A.M. Central Daylight Time. EWTN has asked for the assistance of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), to help celebrate this classical form of the Roman Liturgy.

An encore broadcast will follow the same day at 6 P.M., and again on September 15^th 11:00 P.M. For those with Satellite radio the Mass will be simulcast on EWTN radio.

But there is more. On Wednesday, September 12^th at 9 P.M. Central, EWTN will broadcast a theological roundtable discussion on Summorum Pontificum. This discussion will include Fr. Calvin Goodwin, FSSP from Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, and Fr. Joseph Lee, FSSP from the FSSP apostolate in Ottawa, and the Very Reverend Monsignor R. Michael Schmitz, North American Provincial of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

Immediately following at 10 P.M., Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen narrates the High Easter Mass recorded at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Chicago in 1940.

On Friday, September 14^th at 7 P.M. Central, EWTN's The World Over Live will host another discussion of Summorum Pontificum with His Grace, the Most Reverend Raymond Leo Burke, Archbishop of St. Louis, and Fr. Dennis Kolinski from The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius.

Those who do not have access to the EWTN television channel via cable or satellite may also watch the Mass via live video stream on the Internet. Simply go to www.ewtn.com and choose "Live TV" from the Television pull-down menu on the home page.

EWTN's Television Highlights page may be found here.

Catholic Theater

A new St. Louis based theater company will open its first season with five overtly Christian shows beginning on September 21^st and 22^nd at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center in Shrewsbury. The first is a play by English author GK Chesterton. Written at the behest of his friend George Bernard Shaw, The Surprise is a kind of Romantic Fairy Tale — a story which answers the question "What do people want in life, and how can they get it?" Recommended for teens on up. Tickets ($15) are available through MetroTix and directly from The Theater of the Word at 314-840-WORD. Showtime is 8 p.m. both nights. For your viewing pleasure, here is a promotional video for Theater of the Word.

Credo board member Tom Leith is playing the part of the King of Fontarabia in The Surprise. All the important parts are cast with professionals though.

The following weekend, actors Chuck Chalberg and Kevin O'Brien will be joined by the president of the American Chesterton Society and host of EWTN's program G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense, Dale Ahlquist, to present a show Chumming with Chesterton and Bumming with Belloc. Same place, time, and price.

And speaking of, we should plug the St. Louis Chesterton Society. Yes, there is a local Chesterton Society, which has been meeting for three years. If you love to read, and especially to read Chesterton and the other great Catholic and Merely Christian writers of the 20^th centruy, check out their web site and get involved.

A Toxic Mixture of Catholic Apathy and Ignorance

Next Forum Sunday September 16, 2007

Credo is proud to welcome back to our lectern Wm. A. Borst Ph.D. Dr. Borst has been writing the monthly newsletter for the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation since 2003. He also has a monthly column that appears in the St. Louis Review. In 1986 he became involved in the Prolife movement and is a board member of Birthright St. Louis. Dr. Borst has also held several offices in the St. Louis Archdiocesan Prolife Committee and is currently the Respect Life Chairman at Annunziata Parish. His talk will focus on the causes of apathy within the Catholic Church with a special emphasis on the failure of the Catholic University to properly prepare its students in the wisdom and defense of the Faith.

Dr. Borst has had a varied and interesting professional life. Called by some "The George Will of St. Louis" for his switch hitting ability to converse and write on a high level on both current affairs and baseball.

He has had over 30 experiences in talk radio and instruction at the college level.
Books he has authored include Liberalism: Fatal Consequences, and The Scorpion and the Frog: a Natural Conspiracy. Taken in tandem the two volumes present a concise and profoundly accurate picture of the many aspects and forces that have infected America with its notorious culture war. Signed copies be available for purchase at the forum.
