Insomnia links for today

A mixed bag of Catholic podcasts HERE. 

I haven't listened to them, but I am familiar with some of the speakers from my reading or because they've been on TV (usually EWTN).

The Sheen lectures should be good, but Sheen tends to use old fashioned flowery language and emphasize things in a style that is good in talking to a large audience but overblown when listened to.

Dr. Marra is a philosopher, and always puts me to sleep.

However, I'd skip the Michael Davies talks, since his writings are so hateful that they make me want to be an agnostic. Think of him as the Glen Beck of "Traditional Catholicism". Yuck.

On the other hand, Father Basset, who wrote the delightful and very funny book "We Agnostics" should be interesting.

there are also mp3's of chants there, if you like chant (I don't: We learned to sing chant in gradeschool, which is a good way to inoculate people against certain types of music).

who recommends the reading of parts of the New Testament in Knox's translation.
My mom used this translation back in the 1950's, and is more literate than a lot of the newer translations.
