Bishop Athanasius Schneider on Communion in the Hand

His Excellency Athanasius Schneider is a holy and courageous Bishop of the Diocese of Karaganda Kazakhstan. He has been outspoken in calling for a return to receiving holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue. His book, Dominus Est, was recently translated into English.

The following clip is from his appearance last year on EWTN.

Sacred Music & Corpus Christi Watershed

Corpus Christi Watershed is a new organization founded in 2006 that is doing excellent work in promoting authentic sacred music. It is a great resource for nascent scholas and aspiring church musicians. And close to Beaumont as well.
