The CatholiCity Message

Volume II, Number 18 – May 7, 1998

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

Whew! Big items this week.

1. MELTDOWN AT CATHOLICS UNITED FOR THE FAITH
Our friend Ed at CUF called us the day after last week's CatholiCity Message announcing a special price for CatholiCity Citizens from Catholics United for the Faith for their new book, "Catholic for a Reason." He was amazed. "Our phones are melting down! I had to get three or four emergency workers to answer the phones and process the orders." After he calmed down, he asked us to thank you for your enthusiastic response. Thanks.

2. THEY ARE ALMOST READY
A couple week's ago we announced that CatholiCity Citizens will get "first dibs" on requesting the new free audio being released by the Mary Foundation, our parent organization. We have good news and good news. First Good News: Our masters are finished and we go into production next week, so we'll have a formal announcement a week from now with all the juicy details. Second Good News: it's sunny out today in CatholiCity.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"There is no leisure about politics, for politicians are ever seeking an end outside political practice, for instance: power and fame. Political life neither provides our final end nor contains the happiness we seek for ourselves and others...The purpose of temporal tranquillity, which well-ordered policies establish and maintain, is to give opportunities for contemplating truth."
Saint Thomas Aquinas. Commentary on the Ethics (13th Century)

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms! Hope you get a chance to contemplate Truth this week. We remain yours...

Yours in Christ,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
