When Jesus fed the 5,000 he didn't really do a miracle, right? He
just taught everyone to care and share, right? You've heard that
homily, right? The people had all brought picnic baskets which they
kept hidden up under their robes. Jesus convinced them all to pull out
their picnic baskets to share with everyone else. The REAL miracle was
not in multiplying loaves and fish, but in teaching people to share.
Isn't that sweet? And after they all shared their food Jesus taught
them to sing "Kum Ba Ya" and they all participated in a liturgical
dance. A good time was had by all! Or so say some trendy homilists!

Well I had ENOUGH of that nonsense. I sat at Mass on Corpus Christi
Sunday and heard the priest insult the intelligence of everyone in the
church. He also insulted the Word of God and the tradition of the
Church. He twisted the Gospel reading like a rubber nose and I almost
stood up to protest. But my good wife said, "Steve, no! Go home
and write!" So I did.
About 12 pages later I had written a very thorough response to the
trendy priest and to all others who preach this nonsense. I sent a copy
to the priest, to his bishop and to Catholic Answers. It was then
published in the January 2008 issue of THIS ROCK Magazine. I hope this
thorough rebuttal of nonsense will be copied and given to very homilist
who insults us with such pablum. Hopefully we can put this insulting
claptrap to bed once and for all.

My book CROSSING THE TIBER deals extensively with the Eucharist in the
Old and New Tesaments and the first five centuries of Christianity. You

It is a large file, but let me know if it looks OK.
We wanted to get all our info into one comprehensive brochure.
My son Jesse created it. Thanks Jesse!
SoulFoodCinema.com interviewed me to talk about making and watching movies. I was asked a lot about the stories and adventures associated with filming our Footprints of God series.
Then they asked me what my favorite movies were and what I thought about film, cinema and TV today. You can view this excellent site related to cinema and my interview here.
