My daughter, my only daughter, is twelve years old. She is almost as tall as I am, has glasses, shoulder-length brown hair, and retainers on her teeth. She is in the sixth grade at a Catholic school, and is fairly innocent of the ways of the world, as much as is possible with two older…

Word from Rome is up Interesting stuff on the anniversary of the Lateran Pacts and his perspective on the PX anti-ecumenism credo: Other than the pope, the villain of the story as told by the Lefebvrites is Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, who is accused of heresy three…

The Father Bursar stood motionless, his eyes turned heavenward. Brother Martin gave thanks to God’s goodness by singing psalms. Again and again he repeated: “Into your…

…for a while, I suspect. An NCR review, the first I’ve seen, of the new book by Jason Berry, along with Gerald Renner, Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II It should be read because it will train our focus, in these days of reports and audits, on…

Just a reminder that the reason blogging is way, way down is that last week I committed to write a book. By next week. So, you know. It keeps me busy. Once we settle on a title, I’ll tell y’all about it. I’ve just heard that Loyola has settled on a title on my fall…
