A very nice video featuring Fr. Vincent Hoagland, CP – via Fr. Ray Blake. An account of that visit here. Ah…Rome… What did you see and hear? I went to an evening Mass (since I am leading an adult ed session tomorrow morning). Very sparsely attended…why? Well, maybe because the Bama game was still in…

And the muse is  unrelenting. He did the very same thing the next day on another wall during “nap time.” (Click on the photo to see the detail.)

Dueling letters in Public Discourse Kmiec My dear Archbishop Charles, I want to thank you publicly for your thoughtful inquiry into how best to build a culture of life in the United States in the coming years. Seeing a small snippet of a YouTube discussion of yours brought back happy memories of sharing a table…
