'Liturgical movement' is a very, very misunderstood term in the Catholic Church. What is meant by this 'movement' is the array of gestures and motions made by the faithful during authentic Catholic liturgies.

CCW Episode 4 - Marriage and Celibacy

Well, I'm back from my honeymoon, and so I finally have some time to finish up this episode, which I recorded the day after I was married in St. Louis, MO.

In this episode, I look at the relationship of the Catholic Sacrament of Marriage and how it relates to the call to Celibacy that is requested of those who are called to the vocation of Holy Orders in our Church. I have a good idea of what both vocations/sacraments require of a man due to the fact that I was in the Seminary studying the call to celibacy for five years before getting married, so I thought I'd share a few observations.
