On this Episode 11, we sit with Ken Thevenet, Director of Liturgy and Music for St. Aloysius Parish in the Diocese of Baton Rouge.  Ken has his Bachelors degree in Organ from the school of music at Louisiana State University and a Masters degree in Liturgical Music from The University of Notre Dame.

We get the chance to listen to Ken play some liturgical music on the organ at the beginning and end of the podcast.  We also discuss with Ken what is considered appropriate music in liturgy and what the Church says about music in liturgy and how it should be used. 

I would like to thank Ken for allocating time in his busy schedule to help us understand the importance of music and the role it plays.

The giant, huge, ginormous (is that even a word?) website, Busted Halo enjoyed my previous podcast on Canon Law so much, that they asked to use some of it on theirs (Big Honor).
 I encourage everyone to give their podcast and especially their website a listen and a look.  They have a dynamic site that has the answers to all kinds of topics about Catholicism.  They also have a Sirius/XM show on satellite channel 117 called Busted Halo.
 I would like to shout-out a special thanks to Mike Hayes (of a previous podcast) for PR'ing The Everyday Catholic.  Check out his blog, Googling God, and purchase his book of the same name.

Here is the link to their Canon Law Podcast


Oh, and if you are on Facebook, add me as a friend (perfdavid@hotmail.com).  In today's world, we can never have to many friends.

Peace

In Episode 10 Canon Law 101, I stop by the office of Judicial Vicar for the Diocese of Baton Rouge, Fr. Paul Counce.

In a nutshell, this podcast contains the overview of Canon Law: What it is, what are canon lawyers, how does the Church use this type of law, and how we, as Catholics, will encounter canon law in our Church life.

We also discuss what to do if you see an "abuse" in the Church.  How one should discern this "abuse" and the appropriate steps to report it.  Don't go emailing the Bishop from your iphone during mass, please.

Fr. Counce is a wealth of knowledge and I hope to have him on future episodes dealing with issues we might encounter as lay Catholics and issues we might never (hopefully) encounter, including........
EXORCISMSSSSSSsssssssssssss.....muhwhahahahahahahahaha. 
(Stay tuned for that one in the near future!)
