Testing the new Catholic Trivia app

18/10/2016

1 Comment

 
Our volunteers have tested the new Catholic   Trivia mobile game. The questions are a rather nice blend of what you definitely know, what you know you ought to know and what you can figure out - with the odd question about a film or book you've never heard of thrown in.
Picture
To get to Level Four ("You are now a Bishop!") requires a bit of effort, but the game does tell you what the correct answer is when you get a question wrong, so if you play long enough, you'll pick up some information about Saints and Personalities, the Bible  and Theology. There are also questions on History as well as Arts and Culture and Liturgy and Customs. Some questions come with pictures, others require you to type in your (typically one-word) answer. But pay attention, you don't want to see your last Pope go out because of a typo - in order to get through to the next level you need to clear it with less than three wrong answers.

The game works on Android phones and is available in the Google Play Store (click on the link or look for "Catholic Trivia"). The app is free and doesn't demand the right to use your camera or anthing else - except in-app purchases so you can give a donation. The game was made by Australian Dominicans and you can read more about them here.

Estonia is Terra Mariana

21/8/2015

0 Comments

 
This year 800 years have passed since Pope Innocent III dedicated Estonia and Livonia to the Virgin Mary at the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. The anniversary is marked by a rededication of the lands as Terra Mariana. The Estonian Apostolic Administrator Bishop Philippe Jourdan and Archbishop Zbignievs Stankevics of Riga will celebrate a Holy Mass of Dedication on Sunday, September 6, at 12:00 p.m. at Tallinn’s Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral (Vene 18).

More information is available at www.katoliku.ee and in this press release.
We would wish that the name Terra Mariana, Maarjamaa, given to our beautiful land
be not just a simple name or word, but a sign of the tenderness of God's love and of
your gentle benevolence in our lives.
We devote our families and marriages to you, Holy Mother,
that they may always be in communion of love, created harmoniously by man and
woman, open to life, a source of light.
We devote our land and State to you, Holy Mother,
that our land may remain free and persevere in brotherly love.
Amen.
Prayer to mark the 800th Anniversary, full prayer below

Vatican Library treasures on your computer

20/10/2014

0 Comments

 
The digitisation of the treasures of the Vatican Library is progressing. As the page http://digital.vatlib.it/en/ will tell you, only some 4,400 of the 82,000 manuscripts, prints, drawings and incunabula (i.e. books printed before 1500 AD) have been stored digitally, but help is at hand. International Business Times reports that the Japanese company NTT Data has promised to assist in the huge endeavour. The company will help digitise another 3,000 works over the next four years and the works will be available online free of charge.

You can already take a closer look at, for instance, Botticelli's sketches for his illustration of Dante's Divine Comedy, commissioned by Lorenzo de Medici. Take a look at them here.

Finnish graphic novel about St Bridget

14/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Saint Bridget of Sweden is not only the Patron Saint of Europe, she is also the heroine of a newly-published Finnish graphic novel.

The book Pyhän Birgitan perilliset (The Heirs of Saint Bridget) tells the story of Birgitta Birgersdotter and of how the Bridgettine order came to Finland. The book has been published by an association of friends of Finland's present-day Bridgettines called Birgittalaissisarten ystävät ry, so the monies from the book will be spent assisting the sisters at the convent in Turku, Finland.
Want to take a closer look at the images? Click here.

Order your copy now!

The book Pyhän Birgitan perilliset cost EUR 10 + postage if you order it online here (yes, the form is in Finnish, but it simply asks you to fill in your name, e-mail, phone number and tick whether you want one or two copies of the excellent book). If you are in Turku you can purchase your copy directly from the Bridgettine sisters on Ursininkatu 15 and if you're heading for the Helsinki Book Fair the book is available at the Catholic Information Service bookt (6e82).
