I just discovered this blog by a priest in Corpus Cristi, TX. From my reading of the blog, everything Fr. Farfaglia has written is worth reading but this entry is special:
From a description of how Fr. Farfaglia discovered his vocation:
One evening during my Freshman year, I was reading either Plato's Republic or Aristotle's Politics and I was amazed that these authors dealt with a similar situation that confronted our culture; i.e. moral decay and corruption. Both of these great thinkers of the past said that there is no political solution for the collapse of society. The problem was spiritual and man's heart needed to turn to God. I then asked myself a question: Who best can reach man's heart?
The answer, I said to myself, is a priest. That one intellectual discovery shocked me and placed me on a journey. My spiritual life began to develop for the first time since the innocence of Catholic grade school. Four years of public high school during the 1970's were no help to a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Fr. Farfaglia has the Tridential Latin Mass at his parish in Corpus Cristi, TX at St Helena's.
