Brilliant concise and so rich with meaning. What a blessing to read the insights you offer. Praise be to our God for the good he continues in you. ... (It should be said, the other points are truely silly and quite coarsely detract from the granduer of your writing.) - Adam Tue, 05 Jan 2010 07:34:12 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/te-deum-laudamus.html#comment-3781 You, sir, dear father, i give thanks to The Father for. How i pray that the new priests, those newly ordained, coming up thru Seminary, even the little boys who will in the perfect time be called, would KNOW GOD even as you know & so lovingly communicate Him to us. There seem to be precious few--Fr. John Corapi, Fr. John Riccardi, Fr. Benedict Groschel, to name some--gracing the floundering faithful today. i am so grateful to sit at your feet at TCT. thank you. - debby Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:52:39 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/te-deum-laudamus.html#comment-3770 Paul: Fr. Schall is indeed correct with regard to the second personal pronoun. Thou is historically the informal, intimate form and "You" is historically the formal form. Of course, today "you" is both informal and formal. I do not believe Fr. Schall's point was that the formal form would be "ye" (that would be obviously incorrect) but rather if God was previously addressed as "thou" or today is addressed as "you" it is in both cases an informal and intimate form. - Anthony Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:33:15 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/te-deum-laudamus.html#comment-3762 Father Schall, it is not correct to say that "Te" or "Thou" are familiar forms of the second personal pronoun. It is true in French, but not in Latin or English. They are simply the singular. It would be incorrect (even denying of His Unicity) to refer to God as plural (Vos / Ye). - Paul Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:30:29 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/te-deum-laudamus.html#comment-3759 Father Schall, You write "a decade of the twenty-first century has now passed." This is an error, heard even on my local news. But it can't be so. The 1st year of our calendar (1AD) ended @ 24:00 12/31 1AD, there was no year zero.The first decade @ 24:00 12/31 10AD, etc. By analogy the current decade will end @ 24:00 12/31 2010AD. I am a bit surprised at the commonality of this error. Pax et bonum. - Keith Toepfer Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:41:46 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/te-deum-laudamus.html#comment-3760 And God bless you, Father Schall. I am so grateful for your inspired and inspiring words. - Jennifer Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:38:34 +0100
