No one shall be permitted to review a book written by Pope Benedict for major press outlets unless they have read at least 3 other books written by said author (aka Joseph Ratzinger, in case you forgot.) Exhibit A: Bruce Chilton’s zany review in the NYSun: Benedict dwells long and lovingly on the quest to…

Two branches of Russian Orthdoxy make up. In Rome, a "Feast of Peoples." The 16th "Feast of Peoples" will be held in the square of St. John Lateran in Rome on Sunday, May 20. The initiative has been organized by the Scalabrinian Missionary Fathers in collaboration with Caritas and with the Vicariate of Rome’s office…

Which bear is best? No, just kidding. I actually do have two questions though, as I take an 11-minute blog break. Have any of you had experience with Churching of Women?

Blogger Dymphna attended the formal presentation of B16’s Jesus book Tuesday night at the JPII center and reports.

I’ve Got Rights. The theme of a Planned Parenthood fund-raising gala in Kansas City Tuesday evening, with Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius (a Catholic) the guest of honor. Kansas City Catholic reports on the turn-out – of the 100 or so pro-life protesters – outside the event.

First, we got the Jesus book (Amazon link on the right). I’ve not yet read it and probably won’t allow myself until I’ve finished writing the book I’m working on, but Michael has. This is a great book, magisterial (even though the pope doesn’t want it thought of in that way). It is not just…
