Kate O’Beirne wonders about the line-up of prime time speakers at the GOP convention At the Big Apple convention, three Kerry Catholics will be representing the millions of faithful Catholics being aggressively courted by the Bush campaign.

Here’s a new post that is buried down below. That’s because I wrote part of it as a draft late last night, and when you finally finish and publish it, Typepad publishes it in the order you started writing it. If that makes sense. So I’m just telling you it’s there.

Peggy Noonan is amusing on the Kerry-Edwards announcement I continue to wonder why an accomplished athlete like Mr. Kerry handles his body with such unease. He never seems to know what to do with his arms and hands. They fly away from him. His physical actions do not seem coordinated with his expression, with what…

Eve Tushnet writes to ask us all to go visit her site to get information on signing a Protect Marriage Petition via email. Scroll down to June 28 for that.

For more stories on the Portland Archdiocese’s decision to file for bankruptcy, go here It was the lead story on All Things Considered yesterday, and they dealt with it in a rather measured way – all of their experts were legal, not ecclesiastical, but still, they gave a good sense of the pros and cons,…

Installed in Paterson Associates say Bishop Serratelli is a strict adherent to orthodox church teachings but is not confrontational in his preaching. He said his new duties would focus on bringing “to others the whole truth of the Gospel,” adding: “We are vigorous for the sake of the common good in our respect for all…
