ANNOUNCEMENTS Ragazze Coraggiose Youth Group Outing: Hidden Trails Flashlight Corn Maze Date: Friday Oct 12 Time: meet at 7PM Place: W4704 State Road 16 West Salem, Wisconsin *Remember your flashlight & field appropriate footwear Fundamentalism assumes that the Bible is fundamental. Catholicism retorts that the Bible is not a book but a collection of books, and hence the question more fundamental than Fundamentalism is: Who gathered the books together, and declared that they would constitute a Bible, and be regarded as the revealed Word of God? To answer this question is to get to a body beyond a book, namely, a Church with spirit; for Pentecost was not the descent of books on the heads of the Apostles but the descent of tongues. From that day on it was to be a tongue and a voice, and not a book, that would be fundamental in religion. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (In other words, the Bible is the Book of the Catholic Church. Period. Fr. Altman) Fr. Altman: Get this amazing little booklet on the Truth about the Bible that a Protestant minister confessed. Please welcome our new parishioners to the Parish Family of St. James the Less Roosevelt Wright SiYi Ji KNIGHTS OF ST.
