SQPN Newsletter 30 September 2008
Ever wonder why we send these newsletters? (yes, yes, I know, every week, generally on Monday, yes, yes, you’re so clever…grumble, grumble…) We want to make sure you know about anything new, and to point at things that maybe you haven’t looked at, shows you haven’t listened to. And we sure got that covered this time – after brief hiatus we have The Catholic Hack, Secrets of both Harry Potter and Battlestar Galactica, Dr Paul checks in with two new SaintCasts, the Healthy Catholic returns, this time for your ear-buds, and Father Roderick takes on broadcast radio with a new show in Dutch! Plus there are other new podcasts and videos, daily prayers, daily Bible readings, daily Mass, and more. C’mon. Plenty of new stuff here. Just pick something. It’s all good. Trust me. I’m here to help. Oh, and if you haven’t voted in the nomination phase of the PodCast awards, have a look at our suggestions near the end of this letter.
Katholiek Leven
Op maandag 29 september a.s. start het nieuwe programma “Katholiek Leven”, met pastoor Roderick Vonhögen, te beluisteren tussen 18:00 en 18:30 uur.
And if that doesn’t say it all – well, I guess you don’t read Dutch very well. What it means is that Father Roderick has added yet another show to his credits. It’s Katholiek Leven – Catholic Life for the rest of us. Similar is style and feel to Daily Breakfast, but in recorded in Dutch and broadcast at 6pm (noon US Eastern) on Radio Maria, 650 on the AM dial. While several of the Radio Maria affiliates around the world have audio feeds, the this one does not. However, if you can’t tune in, Father Roderick is good enough to record them live on the uStream SQPN-Live channel and post the recordings. Check out these links.

Since the first moment of her existence the Church, thanks to the power of the Holy Spirit, has spoken in all tongues and lived in all cultures. She destroys nothing of their history and gifts, but assumes them all in a great and new unity, which reconciles unity with the multiplicity of forms. With its power, the Holy Spirit … unites divided man in divine charity and thus creates … the great community which is the Church in all the world. - Pope Benedict XVI
