We first attempted to see Doubt two weeks ago, but were shocked by the ticket-seller’s news that it was sold out. Not so shocking, perhaps – it was showing in one of the smaller theaters. Our next attempt was last Friday, and was successful – and the theater was, indeed full. I had very much…

I am in the last throes (we can only hope) of this book, due a couple of weeks ago, which must be completed, not only because the contract requires it, but also because another deadline for another, shorter book looms on March 1. And there is a Living Faith for Kids deadline this week, as…

There’s been chatter about the NTTimes mag’s profile of Mark Driscoll of Seattle’s Mars Hill Church.

From Kathryn Jean Lopez: His friends and family are keeping vigil and he was administered last rites shortly after midnight. Fr. George Rutler, who gave him the Catholic Sacrament, says that “he is not expected to live long” and suggests “that it is appropriate that prayers be offered for a holy death.” Fr. Neuhaus has…

Saturday evening, we attended the Liturgy at the local Melkite Catholic Church.  I’ve shared my observations about Eastern Catholic liturgies before, and have really nothing to add except: 1) Please go. If you’re a Latin Rite Catholic and have never experienced worship in one of these other Catholic churches, go.  It will open your eyes…
