Gerald V. Casale: The present surpasses my darkest-held ideas about the future. Weird would be better than what it is: depressing and stupid. Despite any high-hoping message of better days ahead, it's way too late to fix what is broken. The kernel of decency inside much of the human species is no match for the sheer volume of evil, both intentional and otherwise, unleashed upon the ma

Hey, it's Dan Deacon! Everyone's favorite Wham City export drops by Detour to answer our usual Meet & Greet boilerplate. And yeah, we're also waiting for his epic audio-visual mashup of "The Golden Girls" and Neverending Story.

Yes, going to Dan Deacon shows is something like being on hallucinogens at your best friend’s bar mitzvah. The only difference is you don’t have to hide that you’re freaking out since the only adult is a DJ who seems only to care that everyone’s grinding against each other, [...]

‘Acorn Master’, the first EP from Baltimore’s Dan Deacon is a kiddy-pool of compu-tunes, perhaps just as likely inspired by a mediocre mushroom experience as by Raffi’s children’s classics. One can’t help but imagine twin kids giggling and clapping along with Dan to at least four of the six clownish, almost juvenile-with-a-whiff-of-self-awareness tracks. While Deacon adeptly layers samples from pop tv and video games, the product of his efforts is a grating, irritating aural mash, complete with Butthead’s “huh huh huh” dollop’d on top. Make no mistake though, Deacon is more than entertaining here, as he playfully bounces from jilted lover neo-ballads to classic cover songs on acid. Wrapping up the album with an electro lullaby for Nintendo/roleplaying gamers to cull their damsels with is a soothing touch… perfect to put those twins to bed to.

I received a copy of the academic agenda for the upper class of Deacon candidates, class of 2009. Our schedule and theirs for the fall were on the same sheet.As for our class, this fall we (class of 2011) meet just four times (we meet five times in the spring, plus our psychological testing, possibly with an additional meeting for year-end evaluation). As I noted earlier, last Saturday we heard an overview of Human formation, along with some reflections. In November we will discuss Spiritual Formation, and in December we will discuss Pastoral Formation. Intellectual Formation, the fourth key area, will be discussed in January.As a point of interest to see what they cover, the class of 2009 is in academic formation right now, along with completing their Institutional internship, and starting their Parish Internship in January. Their study of a particular topic goes for two sessions, and they meet from 9-3 with breaks. It appears that most of their instructors are Sulpician professo
Knowing what a Deacon does is a good thing when discerning whether God is calling you to be one! God calls you, you do not decide to be a Deacon; part of your discernment process will be figuring out, do you have the gifts to perform the vocation?Deacons do three major things - first, they proclaim the Word of God. They preach the Gospel at Mass if they are assisting - even if the Pope presides over the Mass! Preaching the Gospel is a very important role, but not the only one.Second, Deacons assist at the Liturgy of the Mass. and third, and in some ways the most time consuming from what I see, they perform acts of charity - they assist the poor and disadvantaged of the Church in their needs. Deacons have performed acts of charity on behalf of the Church since the days of the early Church Fathers. They were so visible, they were easy targets for persecution and martyrdom! Many of the early martyrs were Deacons, led of course by St. Stephen, whose story is told in the Book of Acts.We

Peace of Christ with you!I go by the name of Stephen, after the patron saint of Deacons, St. Stephen the martyr. I am starting this blog site to share my steps on the journey to becoming a Deacon in the Catholic Church.Why am I doing this? I have found that one great way to help grow the number of new deacons and priests in the Church is to talk about the experience. I knew nothing about the Deacon program before I started, and I am so thrilled to be at this stage (whether I am eventually ordained or not), I would like to share.I have plenty to talk about - my preparation to enter the program, overview of the whole program (I will be ordained in 2011 if I make it that far), how the formation process is changing me and pushing me closer to God, how what I am experiencing matches up with the experiences I have had as Catholic in "normal day life", and more.This will not be the best site for learning Catholic theology, although I will discuss many topics about the four tenets of our f

We sat down with Mr. Deacon before his set at Pitchfork (that was eventually cut short by the Chicago Fire Marshal) and learned, among other things, where he got those righteous glasses.

Deacon Blue - “Dignity”
There’s a man I meet
Walks up our street
He’s a worker for the council
Has been twenty years
And he takes no lip off nobody
And litter off the gutter
Puts it in a bag
And never thinks to mutter
And he packs his lunch in a Sunblest bag
The children call him Bogie
He never lets on
But I know ’cause he once told me
He let me know a secret
About the money in his kitty
He’s gonna buy a dinghy
Gonna call her Dignity
And I’ll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns
I’ll be on my holidays
They’ll be doing their rounds
They’ll ask me how I got her I’ll say
I saved my money
They’ll say isn’t she pretty
That ship called Dignity
And I’m telling this story
In a faraway scene
Sipping down Raki
And reading Maynard Keynes
And I’m thinking about home
And all that means
And a place in the winter
For Dignity
And I’ll sail her up the west coast
Through villages and towns

It is tragic when a Catholic diocese strives to make a pro-abortion politician comfortable in his sin. The deacon may not be "politically correct," but at least he won't be sentenced to Hell for appeasing the culture of death.We all have a choice of which master to serve: Christ or the world. Deacon Tom McDonnell has chosen Christ while Rev. Smith and Bishop Kmiec have chosen differently. In an asinine statement released by Bishop Kmiec, Catholics of the Diocese of Buffalo, New York were told that, "The pulpit is not the appropriate place for confronting a member of the congregation. It is my belief that in situations like this, we are more effective when we have substantive, one-on-one conversations with individuals outside the context of the Mass.â€Translation: we should refrain from publically embarassing a politician who is in favor of killing innocent children in the womb. Apparently Bishop Kmiec would have had a problem with Saint Paul as well. For the Apostle to the Gentiles
In his classic work Liberalism is a Sin," Fr. Felix Sarda Y Salvany writes:"Charity is a supernatural virtue which induces us to love God above all things and our neighbors as ourselves for the love of God. Thus after God, we ought to love our neighbor as ourselves, and this not in any way, but for the love of God and in obedience to His law. And now what is to love? Amare est velle bonum, replies the philosopher: "To love is to wish good to him whom we love." To whom does charity command us to wish good? To our neighbor, that is to say, not to this or that man only but to everyone. What is that good which true love wishes? First of all supernatural good; then goods of the natural order, which are not incompatible with it. All this is included in the phrase "for the love of God."It follows, therefore, that we can love our neighbor, when displeasing him, when opposing him, when causing him some material injury and even, on certain occasions, when depriving him of life. All is reduced to
