More Catholic Reference Extension

This information from the “readme” might help.

The CRE will automatically convert most typical forms of Scripture references.
You can refer to the book by its full name, or by an abbreviation.

To refer to a Catechism paragraph, use “CCC” before the paragraph number(s).
For example: CCC 1210-1212.

To quote a passage and have it appear right in your blog post (instead of in
a popup), use the ` character (the key to the left of the number 1 on most
keyboards). For example:

Matthew 28:18-20
18And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
19Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

CCC 2370

John 6:53-55
View in: NAB
53The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
54Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
55He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
CCC 1210-1212
¶1210 Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
¶1211 Following this analogy, the first chapter will expound the three sacraments of Christian initiation; the second, the sacraments of healing; and the third, the sacraments at the service of communion and the mission of the faithful. This order, while not the only one possible, does allow one to see that the sacraments form an organic whole in which each particular sacrament has its own vital place. In this organic whole, the Eucharist occupies a unique place as the "Sacrament of sacraments": "all the other sacraments are ordered to it as to their end."
¶1212 The sacraments of Christian initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist - lay the foundations of every Christian life. "The sharing in the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. The faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity."
CCC 2370
¶2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, "every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" is intrinsically evil:

Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.

Catholic Reference Extension

Posted by: andymcnutt in Pro Life, tags: , , , , , , ,

Hey, we got a new plugin for the community, courtesy of our good friend, Pistos. CRE is available through your plugins menu. I’m learning how to use it myself so we’ll see how it goes.

I’m seeing new “faces” on our catholic blogging community. The word is spreading!

While I’m thinking about it, please take some time to browse the content at CatholicDestination.com, particularly the Life Issues and Politics sections of “News & Culture”. With Super Tuesday coming up we all need to be as informed as possible.

We have a moral obligation to vote. It is one way we inform the conscience of the state. It is also an opportunity for us to stand up for the lives of the innocent and against abortion. Don’t vote for pro-abortion candidates! Do not support the abortion industry of this country. Put abortion mills out of business and save the lives of THOUSANDS of babies. Support adoption and counseling programs. Teach your children about chastity and the dignity of the human person.

Learning WordPress

Posted by: andymcnutt in Uncategorized, tags: , , , , ,

I am slowly adapting to WordPress, having used Blogger/Blogspot for years.  I really like the customization and the features.  What I am working to learn now, however, is how to format all the posts I imported from Blogger.  I imported something like 1600 posts and they flew over in a matter of minutes, but I need to reformat them in the wordpress style.  If any gurus have any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

I have no idea

Posted by: andymcnutt in Uncategorized, tags: , , , , ,

Internet Explorer is giving me fits. I only now figured how to get back to my “new” blogger account with Firefox. I’m frustrated, but I am alive (in case anyone doubted). I trust you are all doing well. During my hiatus, we were blessed with a new addition to our family. Little Raegan Therese was born last Thursday. She and mommy are doing great.Question: anyone in the Memphis metro area interested in being part of the Third Order of Dominicans (Laity)? Email me if you are. I have some information you may find helpful.
