Very cool video

Similar thing has happened in Ryerson University when I was a student there.

Over the last few days ZENIT news has posted several parts of a Q & A session Pope Benedict XVI had with priests of Rome

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

The first part speaks about the diaconate and its importance in the life of the Church.  The pope talks about how each priest still remains a deacon and also how the permanent deacon is the visible sign of the diaconal dimension.

The second part deals with youth.

Youth should perceive that we don't say words we don't ourselves live, but rather that we speak because we have found and look to find each day the truth as truth for my life. Only if we are on this path, if we ourselves try to assimilate this life and associate our lives with that of the Lord, then our words can also be credible and have a visible and convincing logic. I insist: Today this is the great and fundamental norm, not only for Lent but for all Christian life: Choose life. Before you, you have death and life: Choose life.

The third part deals with reaching out to secular world.

What is essential? What has to be discovered? What would I like to give? And here, I always repeat: The essential is God.

If we don't speak of God, if God is not discovered, we are always stuck in secondary things. Thus it seems fundamental to me that the question "Does God exist" is at least proposed. And that of, How could I live without God? Is God truly an important reality for me?

CNA STAFF, Feb 12, 2008 / 09:02 am (CNA).- On Monday morning, American Life League (ALL) was informed by YouTube that one of its exposé videos on Planned Parenthood was evicted from their for its "inappropriate nature." Strangely enough, the ad that the ALL was criticizing remains on YouTube.

You can still see the video here

I'm surprised that youtube would do that, but I guess when money and devil's organization is involved things like this will happen. What happened to Google's "Do no evil"?

YouTube apologizes, restores pro-life video

I have been tagged by Puff the Magic Dragon with this meme so here it goes.

First the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name).
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

Oh boy, this is going to be difficult.  Why oh why do I have such a long middle name.

S - Spring is my favourite season
T - Toronto is where I live
A - A very difficult meme this is.
N - Natasha is the name of my first daughter.
I - I don't much like memes, however they are an easy way to have something to post about.
S - Science Fiction is awesome.
Ł - Ł is a letter that English alphabet does not have.
A - Another letter A to deal with, the first one was hard enough.
W - Wanda is my mom's name.

As for the tagging. I officially tag everyone who reads this post.

New season of Battlestar Galactica is starting in April and already I can't wait.  I started watching the show late last year and became instantly addicted to it.  Since then I watched all 50+ episodes and now I have to wait...  I have to wait for a whole two months to see where the story goes. 

I can't believe it took me so long to start watching this show.  I am a SF fan so the fact that what is most likely the best SF show EVER has slipped my attention for so long is amazing. 

Today I have discovered that I'm not the only one who just recently discovered this show - Barbara Nicolosi of the Act One program has also recently fell in love with the show and writes about it here and here. 

I am still working on convincing my wife to start watching it.  She is so stubborn and will not even give it a try. I am a patient man and I'm sure that after many many months of nagging I will convince her and I will re-watch the entire series again!
