For Those Curious About the Traditional Latin Mass #Catholic

I just was told about this site today. I don't know how I missed it, but I did.

A beautiful site that explains the Traditional Latin Mass:

Take Two! "Treasures: Stories of the Traditional Latin Mass" mp3 version #Catholic

My apologies for those who were unable to access my previous podcast. My first attempt at uploading the podcast did not seem to succeed. It was an m4a file format, which was the only way to save it with the chapters intact. However, people were having trouble downloading it. If you want to see the chapters, go here for the original post.

Below is the mp3 and it will also eventually show up in iTunes under the podcast "Catholic Prodigal Daughter." (Just do a search in the podcast library for that name and you'll find it.)

Hopefully this time, it will work! Just remember this is a long podcast, a little over 1 hour long.

New Podcast Series: "Treasures: Stories of the Traditional Latin Mass" #Catholic

I'm excited to announce a new podcast series, "Treasures: Stories of the Traditional Latin Mass." This has been on my heart for awhile. Although I am not advocating that everyone attend the TLM, I do believe it has gifts to give to the Church, if we can be open to it. When I returned to the Catholic Church, and first discovered the Traditional Latin Mass, I was greatly encouraged by Pope Benedict's re-emphasizing the beauty of this rite.

What I hope to do with this series is both introduce the Traditional Latin Mass to those who are unfamiliar with it, and also break down some misconceptions and stereotypes. I'll especially explore why people love it so much and how it has affected their sense of Catholic identity.

My first guest is Kevin, otherwise known as "Vir Speluncae Catholicus" (Catholic Caveman), the original "caveman" of his blog, "Lair of the Catholic Cavemen." Kevin was a joy to interview and is quite funny. It is evident that he has a strong appreciation of the TLM and has great points to make about the traditions of the Church.

I did create "chapters" to this podcast because it is long. (1 hour and 12 minutes!) I tried to edit as much as I could but wanted to retain the heart of the conversation. If you go to iTunes, and so a search for "Catholic Prodigal Daughter" in the podcast section, you'll find this episode and the chapters will show under "Chapters" in the toolbar. Below are the chapter markers:

0.00.00 - 0.09.55 : Introduction

0.09.56 - 0.20.01 : Why Men Like the TLM

0.20.02 - 0.30.13 : Conscience and Spiritual Formation

0.30.14 - 0.39.27 : Active Participation

0.39.28 - 0.49.48 : A Connection to the Past

0.49.49 - 1.12.00 : To Those Who Don't Like the TLM

Hope you like it. I'm on the lookout for others who would like to share their story. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, contact me at zinkpoe"at"gmail"dot"com. Many blessings to you!
