The pope's goodness (and scrupulosity?) seem otherworldly compared to my attitude which imbued with far too much of "personal responsibility". I've gone to Mass with much worse "sins" (if you can call his that) than the archbishop's. * Kind of interesting to come across a Catechism entry that describes the altar as the body of Christ: "For what is the altar of Christ if not the image of the Body of Christ?"asks ...http://poncer.blogspot.com/2013/04/angels-altars-and-catechisms.html
Goodbye Draga LITTLE JESUS AND ME - April 23, 2013 I am sure that those who also knew Draga would have a similar story to tell. We met Draga near Christmas of 2009. We didn't realize that we lived near Draga and her rather famous brother, Father K. A mutual friend put us in touch. It is interesting that when we were looking for a home to buy, we looked at one home that was just across the road from where this brother and sister lived. After looking at the home, we drove past their home and I saw an elderly man in his ...http://littlejesusandme.blogspot.com/2013/04/goodbye-draga.html
Movie Review: The Story of Saint Augustine KAREN'S ADVENTURES IN MOMMYLAND - April 22, 2013 A few years ago I got my girls The Story of Saint Perpetua and the animated movie has been a huge hit with the girls. It's a movie that they ask to watch as frequently as their favorite Disney movies. For the longest time the girls have asked when there would be another saint movie like The Story of Saint Perpetua. Just as my seven and a half year old was at the point of being exasperated that "they" still haven't made another saint movie she discovered ...http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2013/04/movie-review-story-of-saint-augustine.html

All the News No One Wants to Print DOLCE DOMUM - April 15, 2013 ... of Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld. Many wrote and posted nonstop about Cindy Sheehan, defended Sandra Fluke, and mocked the so-called "Republican War on Women" by posting photos of Romney's "binders full of women." Attempts at outrage were made in the name of righteous indignation, and images posted about standing in solidarity with their sisters. But this? This horror in which women were brutalized and babies are murdered (half of whom statistically we may assume were also girls) evokes nothing ?

John Hopkins Reverses, Recognizes Pro-Life Student Group CREATIVE MINORITY REPORT - April 10, 2013 This is some good news. You probably remember that Johns Hopkins University refused to recognize a pro-life student group. Pro-lifers were outraged. And now, it seems that the university is reversing itself and the group would now possibly be eligible to receive funding which would go towards sidewalk counseling. "Today is a victory not only for pro-life students here at Johns Hopkins, but for pro-life students around the country," said ...http://www.creativeminorityreport.com/2013/04/john-hopkins-reverses-recognizes-pro.html

Even when covering politics it is at a deeper level of analysis than you normally get and the spiritual dimensions are always considered. I also really like that when he has guests of imposing views it is never the shouting back and forth you would get in other venues. He is a very skilled interviewer and asks very thoughtful questions. I might not always agree with his analysis on prudential questions, but really it is only prudential ...http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/splendoroftruth/lNZE/~3/XS60QpiDEdk/

I am all out of words about abortion right now, so I am going to borrow some. Father Kelly gave a wonderful homily today, and since the 1st and 2nd graders were in attendance (and preciously did the readings--oh my goodness, so. cute), he tailored his explanation of the sanctity of life to be appropriate for their ears and understanding.
