No Matter What 'Why Priests?' Author Says, Believers Need Priests (Comment) CLERICAL WHISPERS - May 19, 2013 ... for the 30 regulars at the 8 a.m. weekday Mass. I think of Bob McElroy, now a bishop, a brilliant scholar and leader, always a warm and compassionate pastor. But most of all I think of my friend Jerry Kennedy, who died this January after serving 47 years as a priest and pastor. Jerry and I had a friendship and connection from our first days together in September 1954 at St. Joseph's Seminary in Mountain View, Calif. At first I didn't understand the connection. He was from Oakland and I was ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/05/no-matter-what-why-priests-author-says.html

Dark of Night, Chill of Rain Could Not Keep Curious, Faithful Away CLERICAL WHISPERS - March 12, 2013 It was a cold and rainy night, but that cliche didn't stop tens of thousands of people from pouring in to St. Peter's Square to keep their eyes on a tiny chimney high atop a tiled roof. Because of the inclement weather, most people didn't get to the square until about 30 minutes before smoke was expected to billow from a set of stoves in the Sistine Chapel, where 115 cardinal electors had gathered for the first round of voting March 12. By 7 p.m., the square was largely ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/03/dark-of-night-chill-of-rain-could-not.html
What Do You Call a Retired Pope? And Is He Still Infallible? CLERICAL WHISPERS - February 23, 2013 ... but whose own reign was marred by scandal. In stepping down, scholars say, his last act became his most revolutionary, making history and perhaps opening the door to a new era. "The mere fact that he's resigning has permanently changed the nature of the papacy," said Eamon Duffy, a historian of Christianity at Cambridge University. "He's thought the unthinkable, done the undoable. He's broken a taboo that had last 600 years, the last 150 of which presented the pope as a religious icon, the ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-do-you-call-retired-pope-and-is-he.html
All Change VALLE ADURNI - February 17, 2013 I have been quite astonished at the world's interest at the abdication of Pope Benedict. When Rowan Williams announced his retirement there was some polite notice taken, but it tended to be of the five-minutes-second-item sort on the main television news. Tim Stanley has written a post on the subject which has deservedly attracted much attention; he understandably expresses concern and annoyance at some journalists' efforts to dictate to the Church just what sort of Pope ...http://valleadurni.blogspot.com/2013/02/all-change.html
Benedict XVI, Vox Nova Reflects – Demystifying the Papacy VOX NOVA - February 12, 2013 ... something of the Holy Father's solicitude for visible reunion of Christians, a concern which has led to, among other things, a warming of ties with the Orthodox Churches and the creation of the Anglican Ordinariate, through which Anglicans can return to full communion with the Catholic Church while retaining some distinctive liturgical elements of their tradition. Benedict himself announced this concern the day after his election when he said: "The current Successor [to St. ...http://vox-nova.com/2013/02/12/demystifying-the-papacy-a-step-towards-communion/

The evening was organised to raise funds for the Ordinariate – the structure set up two years ago to allow Anglicans the chance to enter into full Communion with the Catholic Church while maintaining much of their heritage. The reception – which raised £10,000 -- was organised by the Friends of the Ordinariate charity, which was set up to support and raise awareness of the Ordinariate. The Nuncio said ...http://areluctantsinner.blogspot.com/2013/02/apostolic-nuncio-confirms-that.html
