Roy Lichtenstein and the 'Pregnant Moment' BRIDGES AND TANGENTS - May 7, 2013 I've just seen the Lichtenstein exhibition at Tate Modern; it's on until 27 May if you want to catch it. It's interesting as a lesson in art history, but disappointing as an artistic experience. Not many of the paintings have any real power or beauty; the tones and colours (from all the different periods) are so limited; and even in terms of line and draftsmanship the images seem either simplistic and without much grace or overcomplicated and unbalanced. The exception is ...http://bridgesandtangents.wordpress.com/2013/05/07/roy-lichtenstein-and-the-pregnant-moment/

He insists I call him Don Francisco," Delgado said at his modest apartment in a southern suburb of Cali. He first met former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio on one of the six annual trips he made to the Vatican to fit Benedict. Francis telephoned Delgado in Cali the night of his election, March 13, to discuss nine garments — cassocks, embroidered tunics, belts and ceremonial hats called miters — that he ordered for ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/04/popes-have-faith-in-colombian-tailor.html
Pope Francis Visits the Vatican Necropolis FROM THE PULPIT OF MY LIFE - April 2, 2013 esterday's top papal story from Catholic News Service was about the Holy Father's tour of the Scavi or Vatican Necropolis. It is said he is the first pope to do this. Here is a short excerpt of what I read. The necropolis is a burial ground where St. Peter's tomb has been venerated since early Christian times and where the first church dedicated to the saint was built. The tomb is two levels below the main altar of the modern ...http://fromthepulpitofmylife.blogspot.com/2013/04/pope-francis-visits-vatican-necropolis.html

A Pilgrims Story PILGRIMAGES BLOG FROM PAX TRAVEL - March 26, 2013 This week when we are approaching the joy of Easter, albeit in the cold of March, I would like to share with you an incredible tale of a family's triumph over adversity, during their journey to the Eternal City last week. Three coins in the Trevi Fountain, three angels to help us get there. You could say we're Rome groupies. We must have been there a dozen times. We fell in love with it on our first visit in 1993, not long after I converted ...http://www.paxtravel.co.uk/blog/?p=205

The Pope will not be celebrating Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper at St. Peter's. Some people may be disappointed.

Lent 2013 Challenge Day 34: Inaugural Feast MRS. MACKERELSNAPPER, OP - March 20, 2013 Yesterday was the inauguration of Pope Francis, on the Feast of St. Joseph, which is my husband's feast day as well. We usually have some sort of meat on St. Joseph's Day, because traditionally in our diocese, the bishops lift the Lenten restrictions so we, especially our area's large Italian community, can feast instead of fast. I had a moment of thinking we'd be justified in breaking the rules on this very special day and getting some ...http://mrsmackerelsnapperop.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/lent-2013-challenge-day-34-inaugural-feast/

Il Papa Is Il Fan 韩娟狂想曲 / AMBROSE-A-RAMA - March 18, 2013 There's something Nick Hornby wrote in one of his monthly Believer essays that I often think about when I may need to justify our enjoyment of spectator sports. Sometimes it seems as though everything in the arts (and I include sports in the arts) is about time and space---giving yourself room to move, finding the time to play. Hornby is both an avid reader and a beloved author, and yet he still maintains his devotion to Arsenal ...http://www.jenambrose.com/2013/03/il-papa-is-il-fan.html
