(Just a reminder – I update the de.lici.ous feed over there on the right several times on most days. But I thought these were worth pulling out for a separate post) Terry Mattingly looks at coverage of the death of Edwina Froehlich, one of the founders of the La Leche League: How controversial was this?…

In the years that we have lived here, we have been to Chicago many times, but most of those times have 1) been work-related, involving either attendance at RBTE or speaking engagements, and therefore requiring rushing here and there, meeting schedules or driving into Chicago proper from a distance (RBTE is held in a far-west…

For Mark Mossa, S.J. long-time intermittent blogger, author and fellow contributor to Living Faith – is being ordained to the priesthood today in New Orleans. We can hope that Mark will briefly revive his blogging to provide us an account of the event when he’s ready!

I guarantee every informed Catholic around is going to be quite sure of what “ineffable” means. I’m going to blog on yesterday’s USCCB proceedings, when I have time to absorb what went down. What puzzles me the most was why so many bishops were absent from the discussions. Was it discount admission day at Sea…

O’Brien said he actually reached a decision two to three months ago to ask the Legionaries and Regnum Christi to leave the archdiocese, but was persuaded to stay his hand by three…

So far, the most animated discussion during the spring meeting of the U.S. bishops was sparked by the latest update on a John Jay College study of the causes and context of the sexual abuse crisis – with early indications suggesting that the…

       Cindy’s Diner is a Fort Wayne institution – one of the few, I’d dare to say. It’s a little – tiny – freestanding building on a corner, with the motto, “Feeding the world..15 people at a time.”  I’d always been hesitant to take my crew there, since it is so crowded and…

This coming weekend, the Pope will be visiting Santa Maria di Leuca and Brindisi, in Puglia, Here’s the schedule: 2 Masses,  gatherings with cloistered religious, young people, bishops and a gathering of priests. EWTN will cover Sunday’s events. The shrine in Santa Maria di Leuca is “Santa Maria de finibus terrae” – “St. Mary at the…
