SQPN Newsletter 2 September 2008
There’s sure a lot of baby talk around here this week, and not just the kind you’ve come to expect from some podcast hosts. There’s an ultra-sound on the Rosary Army, the Barrons discuss baby “modifications”, your CatholicMom does an interview on child rearing, Father Roderick re-hashes childhood memories, and several people correct Speaker Pelosi’s recent misinterpretation of Saint Augustine and conception. Oh, and there’s other new podcasts, new videos, daily prayers, Mass and Bible readings, new e-reads and more. Yeah, Baby, that’s SQPN!
LibriVox Catholicism
Librivox is a non-commercial, non-profit and ad-free project in which volunteers record audio versions of public domain books, and then release those recordings into the public domain. It’s a loose-knit, chummy bunch of folks who are so laid-back that it’s amazing that they have recorded hundreds of books for enjoyment by anyone who can play an mp3. Some of their choices are of interest to folks who like Catholic audio. Check ‘em out -
- Bible (American Standard Version)
- Bible (Douay-Rheims Version)
