“THE LAMB’S SUPPER:  THE BIBLE AND THE MASS” ~ by Scott Hahn www.salvationhistory.com ~ Course Description:  In this course we explore the Bible and the Mass.  Following an overview of the Eucharist in the New Testament, we look at the deep roots of the Mass in the biblical history of sacrifice – a history that culminates with the Last Supper and the institution of the Eucharist.

Scott Hahn is founder and president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.  A professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville, he also holds the Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology at St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

ANNOUNCING ARCHBISHOP CHARLES CHAPUT’S

NEW eBOOK “A HEART ON FIRE”

Catholic faith, public witness and religious freedom in a changing public square

     Doubleday, a division of Random House publishing, has announced the release of an original new eBook authored by Philadelphia’s Archbishop Charles Chaput.  A Heart on Fire:  Catholic Witness and the Next America, will be available electronically on March 27, 2012.  The eBook – an extended essay on the role of religious faith in American public life today – contrasts current pressures against religious liberty in the United States with the vigorous role this freedom played in founding and forming the nation.

     A new and authentically Catholic activisim in public affairs is urgent, writes the Archbishop, “as the mistakes and ambiguities of the past half-century of American Catholic experience come to harvest.  Our national leadership in 2012 seems deaf to matters of religious freedom abroad and unreceptive — or frankly hostile — to religious engagement in public affairs here at home.”

     A Heart on Fire, initially drafted in the fall of 2011, is even timelier now with the imposition of the current administration’s HHS mandate — an action the Archbishop considers “coercive and deeply troubling in its implications for the rights of conscience.”  On January 20, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reaffirmed a rule that virtually all private health care plans must cover sterilization, abortion-causing drugs, and contraception.  The exemption provided for “religious employers” is so narrow that it failed to cover the vast majority of faith-based organizations – including Catholic hospitals, universities, and charities – that help millions of people every year regardless of their faith.
