Two people have written me asking for links to the originals of my pope-praying-rosary-in-shades photo I use as a header sometimes. So I took that as a sign, and dug through the archives at Papa Ratzinger Forum, confident that they’d come through for me, and sure enough. (Didn’t take long – I knew it was…

Our main public library has a fantastic playroom in the children’s section, and not a trip to the library can pass without a stop, a session with the train table (because, as I keep telling you, we have NO train toys at home. Not one.), prayers that there will be no crying when we must…

Via Intentional Disciples: With the advent of the Beijing Olympics this summer, the world is turning an attentive eye to that vast land and its 1.3 billion people. Catholics make up a tiny minority at this point. Some belong to the Patriotic Catholic Church which is recognized by the government, and some are part of…

There’s been a lot of discussion of this question here and there, not only related to the newly-elected president of Paraguay, but also in relation to those bishops who might have profoundly betrayed their office and call. Today, John Allen has a really excellent (or not – see Zadok’s comment below)  overview of the question, using…

Okay, so here’s the trailer for the new film version of Brideshead Revisited which seems to make it all a heated power struggle between Lady Marchmain and Charles Ryder over something – which I suppose, at some level, it is, but really.

(The other US hierarchy-related news this week was Wednesday’s long-awaited resignation of 63-year old Donald Pelotte of Gallup, who had been assaulted last year in a bizarre and confusing incident.)    

Mary and the Christian Life was published about two months ago, by Word Among Us Press. Bert Ghezzi, familiar to you as the author of many books on saints (including this very nice one – The Heart of a Saint: Ten Ways to Grow Closer To God), asked me to write it. It’s a combination…

I found this little book in our stash. Neither of us can figure out its provenance, but here it is. Published in 1960, written by the well-known figure in the U.S. Liturgical Movement, Fr. Hans Reinhold, the book is a slim (very slim) summary of where the liturgical movement stood at that point. (I’m thinking…

…the USPS employee or contracted worker located somewhere between northern Indiana and Nashville, TN. Ahem. I think I’ve figured it out. I think I see where you were coming from. There you were, unloading or loading a truck, or maybe guiding packages down a belt or something and you see this fairly good-sized box. It’s…
