Morbius | A Catholic Perspective
Boy was this movie bad! But it definitely has a couple themes I wanted to pull out and discuss from a Catholic lens. Just in time for spooky season! I hope you enjoy my recap, review and then deep dive into two themes that are actually kinda intriguing from this terrible movie.
Boy was this movie bad! But it definitely has a couple themes I wanted to pull out and discuss from a Catholic lens. Just in time for spooky season! I heard all the bad pub that Morbius was getting and watched the movie become a meme as Sony floundered and got confused by the public reaction. They re-released it in theaters and I STILL chose not to go see it. I waited until it became free to watch on streaming, grabbed some snacks, sat down with my wife and we laughed AT this movie, yelled at the parts that don't make sense(most of it) and wasted our time lol.
I hope you enjoy my recap, review and then deep dive into two themes that are actually kinda intriguing from this terrible movie.

Catholic Foundations | The Sacraments | Session 4
In week four of our Foundations course, Jennifer Stavinoha gives us an introduction to the Sacraments and a deeper look into Baptism and Confession. How we live in the power of our Baptism and breaking through the barriers that keep us from the grace available in the confessional.
In week four of our Foundations course, Jennifer Stavinoha gives us an introduction to the Sacraments and a deeper look into Baptism and Confession. How do we live out our Baptism today as adults? She looks to a couple of stories from the Gospels for our answers.
She also shares about the importance of frequent confession for Catholics. So many Catholics do not frequent the Sacrament for a plethora of reasons: intellectual questions about why we have to go to a priest, fear, embarrassment and more. She shares not only the importance of the Sacrament but also helps to break down the barriers that keep up from the grace awaiting us in the confessional.
We will be back next week for our session on Salvation History.

Foundations is our 10 week course on the basic teachings of Catholicism. Join us as we revisit the top ten topics every Catholic needs to know.
Foundations is a ministry we launched at our parish to help along our path of discipleship. After people have a great encounter with Christ through Alpha(an introduction to faith, Jesus and prayer), we wanted to help them take the next step by growing in their knowledge and understanding of Catholicism. Each week, we will cover a different key topic and share it with you on YouTube.
Our goal is to help new Catholics learn the faith, seasoned Catholics revisit Church teaching in a systematic way and everyone to grow in their love of Christ by learning more about Him & His Church.
So whether you are a new Catholic looking to grow in your faith, not Catholic and interested in what the Church teaches or you've been Catholic your whole life and just need a refresher, we hope you enjoy this 10 week series :)
