| The Legion Meets Its (Re-)Maker Posted: 20 Jun 2010 06:56 PM PDT According to the lead Italian vaticanista of the moment, the Holy See's top money man will be named to oversee the reinvention of the scandal-scarred Legionaries of Christ. In a freshly-released dispatch, Il Giornale 's Andrea Tornielli reports that "in the coming days" B16 will formally tap Archbishop Velasio DePaolis, 74... |
| Philosophers and Football (Ahem - Soccer) Posted: 21 Jun 2010 08:21 AM PDT This is greatness. Thanks to my friend Mark for sending it to me. As Mark is preparing to move his family, please pray for him. |
| ISRAEL: Whose Land Is It Anyway? (Pt. 1) Posted: 21 Jun 2010 08:51 AM PDT By Jimmy Akin | Recently we were discussing the recent Helen Thomas broujaja and the question of who "owns" the land of Israel/Palestine inevitably arose. I'm not going to solve that long-standing and thorny question in this blog post, but I can offer some considerations that need to be taken into account when forming an opinion on the subject. |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2010 05:14 AM PDT It is a sure sign of the degree of panic over the Pope's offer to Anglicans that the Archbishop of Canterbury is even considering such a thing, but at the end of the day its too little too late. The head of the Anglican Communion, Rowan Williams, is reportedly considering new rules to protect Anglican traditionalists from women Bishops. |
| A hint of accountability in new Vatican financial scandal Posted: 21 Jun 2010 07:06 AM PDT Only half in jest, I've sometimes suggested that the pace of change in the Vatican amounts to, "Talk to us on Wednesday and we'll get back to you in 200 years." It's an institution, in other words, decidedly not built for speed. Recent days, however... |
| Lost Liturgies File: The Maniturgia Posted: 20 Jun 2010 06:29 PM PDT It has been a very exhausting but fulfilling weekend here in Washington. Yesterday saw the ordination of eight men to the priesthood for the Archdiocese. This took place at the Basilica. Then receptions, and today the first Masses and more receptions. I was privileged to preach the First Mass of Fr. John Reutemann. It was a... |
| "Red Pope" Probed: Sepe Under Scrutiny Posted: 20 Jun 2010 04:51 PM PDT Another day... another stunner from the Home Office: long a Vatican star, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe of Naples has reportedly been placed under civil investigation by Italian authorities over suspicions of his involvement in an official corruption scheme. A native of southern Italy... |
| Posted: 20 Jun 2010 11:15 AM PDT I'm pretty hard on movies. Having trained as a scriptwriter and written dozens of film reviews I get tired of the formulaic scripts, the stock characters, predictable plots and the over reliance on whizzbang special effects and technological fireworks. My kids haul me off to some movie and I'm usually disappointed. Not with Toy Story... |
| On "Losing Oneself": Fathers' Day, Vatican Edition Posted: 20 Jun 2010 10:58 AM PDT Earlier today, B16 ordained 14 new priests for the diocese of Rome... and here, via Vatican Radio, the pontiff's ordination homily in full: Dear Brother Bishops and Priests, Dear ordinands, Dear Brothers and Sisters! As bishop of this diocese I am especially pleased to welcome fourteen new priests to the Roman "presbyerium". |
