Sean's brother Anthony is a hard man. When they were kids their ma did her best to keep him out of trouble but you can't say anything to Anto. Sean was supposed to be different. He was supposed to leave and never come back. But Sean does come back. Arriving home after university, he finds Anthony's drinking is worse than ever. Meanwhile the jobs in Belfast have vanished, Sean's degree isn't worth the paper it's written on and no one will give him the time of day. One night he loses control and assaults a stranger at a party, and everything is tipped into chaos.

An institution that has existed longer than any extant government on earth, the Catholic Church continues to touch the hearts and minds of billions. The fact that Catholics in Creed recite the words "I believe in one holy, Catholic, and apostolic church" means that there is more to the church than meets the eye. Now you can encounter the enduring power of the theology of the church through this 18-lecture audio course.

Anthony, il fratello di Sean, è un tipo tosto. Quando erano bambini, la madre cercava di tenerlo lontano dai guai, ma senza successo. Sean doveva essere diverso, doveva andarsene lontano e non tornare mai più. Ma Sean torna. Torna a Belfast, dove i posti di lavoro sono sempre meno, la sua laurea non ha valore e nessuno lo considera. Torna, suo malgrado, alle vecchie abitudini: notti folli, prestiti non restituiti, affitti non pagati, lavori occasionali che falliscono. Torna in queste strade lacerate, dove la prosperità promessa dalla pace non è mai arrivata.

This new translation was prepared by the bishops and approved by the Vatican in the shared conviction that it is better to bring to Catholics in their own language the wealth of what is already contained in these prayers than to try to rewrite them anew. But many people have questions about what changed and what the changes mean for worship and the church. Join Monsignor Michael Magee to explore the new translation of the Roman Missal.
