Obama, Metaxas call for authentic religion at prayer breakfast

Read the complete text here: Obama, Metaxas call for authentic religion at prayer breakfast

Washington D.C., Feb 2, 2012 / 08:08 pm ( .- The need for a genuine faith that translates into action was the theme chosen by both President Obama and keynote speaker Eric Metaxas at the 2012 National Prayer Breakfast in the nation’s capital. The breakfast, which was held in the district’s Hilton Hotel on Feb. 2, attracted more than 3,000 guests. “We can’t leave our values at the door,” President Obama said, highlighting the importance of having a faith that is lived out “not just with words, but with deeds.” The president stated that the values of his Christian faith motivate the decisions he makes in office. As a Christian, he said, his economic policies coincide with the biblical principle of “requiring much from those who have been given so much.” He also cast his efforts to “prevent atrocities” in other countries and “take on issues like human trafficking” as being “about the biblical call to care for the least of these.” President Obama added that his administration is “linking arms with faith-based groups,” such as Catholic Charities, to work towards “strengthening adoption” and serving those “who are struggling with poverty,” among other initiatives.

Body Issues

Go directly to: Body Issues

How do we regulate what, in his Theology of the Body , John Paul II called the “disposition of powers”: the flesh and the spirit; the lower and the higher; body and soul? The source of the tension between these apparent poles is original sin, but the late pope would have us remember that it was not always so, and – as Christopher West summarizes in his new book At the Heart of the Gospel: Reclaiming the Body for the New Evangelization – it is the body that makes the invisible visible. It is the medium of our salvation. “ We needn’t flee from the flesh or the natural world ,” he writes, “ to encounter the spirit .” [Italics in the original.] Papa Wojtyla gave us his spirituality of sexuality during Wednesday lectures given between 1979 and 1984 – 129 of them – and Mr. West has become the leading American apostle of “TOB.” Critics, such as Alice von Hildebrand, have suggested West’s presentations and promotion of sacramental sexuality have understated the dangers of concupiscence. Others, such as Janet E. Smith, have come to West’s defense. So heated did the controversy become that Mr. …

The Jesus and Religion Video

A video of a young man reciting a poem has ‘gone viral on the Internet. In the video, he explains why he hates religion” but loves Jesus”. His rant against institutional religion is understandable. Hes against hypocrisy, formalism, legalism, complacency, and phony suburban American Christianity. He wants to love Jesus instead. Hes a zealot, and would have lent a hand when our Lord went into the temple to turn over the moneychangers tables. Thats all well and good, and Im on his side. The gospel should be subversive…
