A reader wrote to ask if I’d read it. I haven’t. Her comments…and yours if you’d like to add to them? I’m writing because I just finished reading “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant. A lot of my Protestant and agnostic friends read it, and loved it. So, keeping in mind it is fiction based…

From my dad: Amy, this past weekend, I had to operate on your brother, Fred Fern Welborn. His vascular system (roots) was seriously compromised. My intention was to surgically free the arteries and veins and to do a major transplant. There was too much that I could not save, but there was a bit that…

Stupidity at MSNBC What are Catholics — and all Americans — to make of this increasing clerical activism in trying to shape their political decisions? The bad news is it shows that the Church — for centuries no stranger to abuse of power, muddled priorities, and interfering where it shouldn’t — seems to be at…

…at which representatives of the Catholic Church won’t be able to send a steak back to the kitchen without having to answer for abuse. Now, this priest’s question regarding a shopping center development near his parish is certainly high hyperbole, but the response….

From Mark Gauvreau Judge at Breakpoint Amy Welborn’s De-Coding Da-Vinci is a strong effort. Where Kellmeyer is sometimes glib, Welborn is sober, reasonable (although like Kellmeyer, she does claim that Da Vinci is “more than a novel.”) She wastes no time getting to the core of what fuels the Da Vinci phenomenon – Gnosticism.

Scranton priest charged. An investigation conducted by a private investigator for the Diocese of Scranton has led to sexual assault charges against a priest who formerly served at Sacred Heart Church in Duryea. The Rev. Albert M. Liberatore Jr., 40, was charged Monday with indecent assault and corruption of a minor after an altar boy…

Just a reminder, that the bookstore still exists. I have plenty of De-Codings, and if you would like to buy in bulk, email me and we can work out a little bit of a discount. Now, I don’t mean bulk as in “100 copies” – I don’t have that many. I mean bulk as in…

From the right of the GOP This spurt of defiance by the Conservative Party – Dr. O’Grady was endorsed in Albany by Michael R. Long, its chairman – is risky. The last, and only, time the Conservatives elected a Senate candidate without help from the Republican line was in 1970. “But you have to stand…

Breaks his silence. (LRR) Dan Brown said that when he wrote the book that dissects the origins of Jesus Christ and disputes long-held beliefs about Catholicism, he considered including material alleging that Jesus Christ survived the crucifixion in his book. While speaking at a benefit for a New Hampshire writers’ group, Brown said the theory…

Even the NYTimes can’t avoid reality. The article on “entertainment” ultrasounds begins by referring to fetuses, but by the end… …it’s a baby. The music playing gently in the background also serves as the soundtrack for the DVD the clients receive. It was composed by a client’s husband, Marc Bazermat, who was so taken by…
