| Posted: 23 Feb 2010 08:36 AM PST Welcome to a Two-Fer Tuesday, folks -- B16's put two of the three longest-standing US vacancies to bed, naming the interim hands overseeing the dioceses of Ogdensburg and Scranton as the next ordinaries of each. The pontiff's picks of now Bishops-elect Terry LaValley and Joseph Bambera, both 53... |
| More snippets from a conversation with Mother Millea Posted: 23 Feb 2010 08:51 AM PST Last week I published the bulk of a Feb. 16 interview with Mother Mary Clare Millea of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the sister in charge of a Vatican-sponsored apostolic visitation of women religious in America. For space reasons, a few bits of that interview were left on the cutting-room floor. Given the wide interest in the subject... |
| In this corner, The Anchoress.. Posted: 23 Feb 2010 04:37 AM PST The popular public affairs show on The NET, "In the Arena" is back on the air, returning for a second season. And once again the star attractions (from the WWF, it seems) are Elizabeth "The Anchoress" Scalia and Grant "Commonweal" Gallicho. The ringmaster is Jane "Stay Classy" Hanson (formerly of WNBC TV here in New York)... |
| You're not seeing what you think you're seeing Posted: 23 Feb 2010 06:24 AM PST Incredible, mind-blowing technology is being used in movies these days that convinces you you're seeing something that's not really there, as this series of back-lot scenes from TV-shows and movie sets reveals. From an entertainment standpoint, I think all this is truly marvelous. I love how they can simulate anything... |
| How Pope John Paul II's Communist barber was miraculously cured Posted: 23 Feb 2010 09:31 AM PST "I am not a saint, I am a sinner" says Giovanni Vecchio as he snips at a customer's hair in his barber's shop in a side street of a workaday Rome suburb. "But I have known a saint." He pauses, scissors in mid-air. "In fact, I have cut his hair". |
| Exclusive: NYC parish hosts anti-Catholic LGBT group, promotes harmful practices Posted: 23 Feb 2010 07:00 AM PST About a month ago I brought attention to the sacrilegious event which took place at St. James Church in New York City, and continued to monitor the story until the proper ecclesiastical actions were taken. Now I have the unwelcome duty to do so again. Only this time it's worse. The Jesuit-run Church of St... |
| Seven Reasons Why You Should Go to Confession During Lent Posted: 23 Feb 2010 07:50 AM PST 1. Priestly absolution is an awesome gift that Jesus gave us. Jesus gave us this Sacrament and wants us to enjoy His grace through it. He told His first priests, the Apostles: Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, their sins are forgiven (John 20:22). |
| Top Ten Confirmation Saints You Never Considered Posted: 23 Feb 2010 06:39 AM PST Today we celebrate the feast of St. Polycarp (c. 69-155), a disciple of St. John the Evangelist and significant figure in the early Church. When my friends and I started having children, we considered naming them after great saints whose names seemed a little strange to modern ears. |
| The Diagnosis is Dire But The Doctor Is In Posted: 22 Feb 2010 08:30 PM PST The Diagnosis is in. The situation looks grave. From the test results, we've got some serious stuff wrong with us! You might say we've got a few issues! Yes, I've got your spiritual "medical chart" and mine open and I'm looking at the test results and the numbers don't look good. We've tested positive for a... |
| Missouri Considers Taxing Catholic Schools, Killing Kansas City Posted: 23 Feb 2010 07:24 AM PST Normally I'd be enthused about a tax simplification scheme, but a proposal being heard in the Missouri Senate this week is simply stupid. SJR 29 would seek to replace all corporate and individual income taxes with a state sales tax on all products and services sold in Missouri. The tax would apply not only to traditional retail items... |
| Posted: 23 Feb 2010 08:31 AM PST One year ago tonight, the top line here ran thus: "Well, gang, greetings from the Big Apple...." The rest, as they say, is history -- the next morning, after a memorable month of frenzied waiting, B16 named Tim Dolan to the archbishopric of New York. It's been an eventful year... |
| Posted: 22 Feb 2010 03:11 PM PST "Perhaps it would be a good thing if every Christian, certainly if every priest, could dream once in his life that he were pope, and wake from that nightmare in a sweat of agony." - Fr. Ronald Knox Today being the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, (which... |
