Okay, so I said last week would be the last one until Lent. I lied. I thought it would be interesting to hear if any of you heard any kind of allusions to life issues this past Sunday. Not that it’s required, mind you, but since tomorrow is the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, it might come up.

I suspect it might have at the Mass I attended, but I’m not sure. The homilist was preaching a rather interesting homily that began with the second reading from Corinithians, moved on to Pius XII’s encyclical Mystici Corporis Christi, commenting on the irony of its timing, in the middle of World War II, during which the globe was as murderously fractured as it ever was. He moved on to Cardinal Galen…and I suspect he was going to talk about his 1941 speech against euthanasia, but a vicious spat about crayons broke out in our pew, and at that point I heard not another word from the pulpit, unfortunately.

Et vous?
