The Catholic Daily Reading Reflections: Crossing the Goal Playbook

The reality is far beyond anything you can imagine. What is the difference between God and you? Which flag are you flying? I have this book and I refer to it often. I also enjoy watching the program. At a time when the media tells us men are turned off of religion, the crossing the goal team makes a case for Catholicism that is especially appealing to Catholic men.

Great practical advice for daily living. Good for the average person who, maybe isn't into deep theology, but wants some encouragement for dealing with daily problems. Good advice and encouragement for us all, not just for men.

I was looking for a good work book to help strengthen my faith and found this gem. This is full of great insight and information and exercises. This is a study guide companion to the sports format EWTN show of the same name. However, I don't think that one must have seen the show to get a great deal of good out of the book. Using eye-catching graphics and subtitles like "Pregame," "Kickoff," and "Game Plan" to emphasize different sections, the book is a straight forward approach to why men should care about and practice the virtues.

I liked this on two levels.

Crossing the Goal: Playbook on the Virtues

The direct approach was very easy to understand but left room for conversation and thought. As a woman, it gave me a bit of insight into the issues that men struggle with which are different from those of my sex. As well, I really liked the idea that men would struggle and care about following Jesus in a These days, that is a commodity all too little valued. It made me have an added appreciation and love for the Christian men in my life, both family and friends. I am not the target audience, of course, but I know a lot of "men's men" who would really appreciate the approach this book takes.

Nothing against jocks, but these guys seem so fake and blindly supportive of a jock Catholicism that one almost can't help think of them with all the scandals at Penn State. Nothing in particular, but a interesting blog post by a Catholic poet raises some interesting questions about the whole jock culture thing: But insular, all-male institutions that operate on principles of domination foster a culture of cognitive dissonance where paradoxical things are held to be true, e.

But around a long-term child sexual abuser is always a complicit community. As Mark Esposito writes in this case it was made up of "university administrators who did nothing despite horrific credible eyewitness accounts of explicit sexual acts in locker rooms and showers. They most often see themselves as regular folks who love kids and want to help them and whose affinity for children just happens to have a sexual element. Then, under stress, their need to satisfy that sexual urge compels them to take an action which they convince themselves isn't such a big deal. They hardly ever believe that they are harming children - and often believe they are helping them.

Fixated child molesters exist - in small numbers, but they exist. However, the rest of us often participate in cultures and emotional habits that protect them and those practices can be dismantled. Those narratives that we create of "protecting the greater good" or "he's such a nice guy" or "to make a great Penn State omelet a few eggs gotta get broken" must be dismantled. In the world of big-time college sports, the term has been cheapened by overuse. If these allegations prove to be true -- Sandusky has maintained his innocence -- they'll be a far cry from football players' trading memorabilia for discounts on their tattoos.

A better comparison would be the sexual molestation scandals that rocked another insular, all-male institution, the Roman Catholic Church. The parallels are too striking to ignore. A suspected predator who exploits his position to take advantage of his young charges. The trusting colleagues who don't want to believe it -- and so don't. Even confronted with convincing proof, they choose to protect their institution's reputation.

In the face of a moral imperative to act, there is silence. This was the dynamic that pervaded the Catholic clerical culture during its sexual abuse scandals, and it seems to have been no less pervasive at Penn State.

Where does Paterno fit in? Unlike two other top university officials implicated in the scandal, he has not been charged with a crime.
