Peggy Noonan, in her excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal, makes a number of important points, two of which are that the media has done the Church a service because it was the media that brought this stuff into the light and that the victims are the children, the good priests and nuns, and…

It has been said often, and John Goldingay (Psalms, Vol. 1: Psalms 1-41 ) says it here, “Most of Scripture speaks to us; the Psalms speak for us.” Psalm 3 [after the jump] speaks for our complaints to God that yield, somehow and sometime, to trust and praise.

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with…

My new “Wedgie Award” will be given (mostly in fun) to folks who make comments that make us feel uncomfortable, and the first Wedgie Award is given to Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, for his comments about the Catholic Church in Ireland: “An institution so deeply bound in to the life of society suddenly becoming…
