He clearly pockets the Eucharist. Some have said he took it later on, [...] My friend Ed put this up on his Vimeo account this morning and it seemed to work for me… The Easter Story from ed on Vimeo. I think I’m pretty much done with the Catholic church at this point. It took a lot of thinking and pondering, but they’ve finally rubbed me the wrong way in a way that I don’t know if I can ever forgive them for. When Pope Benedict was put into his position as Pope, I was [...] Okay, so the title of my post was intentionally stick-poking, but Tony Blair has joined the Catholic faith: “It can be confirmed that Tony Blair has been received into full communion with the Catholic Church by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor,” the head of the church in England and Wales, the church said in a statement. “I’m very [...] The entrance gates here are topped with metallic Stegosauruses. The grounds include a giant tyrannosaur standing amid the trees, and a stone-lined lobby sports varied sauropods. It could be like any other natural history museum, luring families with the promise of immense fossils and dinosaur adventures. But step a little farther into the entrance hall, and [...] The United States Supreme Court yesterday decided not to review a case challenging the constitutionality of a New York City public school policy that expressly permits the display of the Jewish menorah and Islamic star and crescent during their respective religious holidays, but completely bans the display of Nativity scenes during Christmas. The constitutional challenge was [...] You have to wonder if any of our comrades on the left of the blogosphere have ever seen the Arab media. It’s striking how quickly they’ve jumped on the Pope for his comments a few days ago. In fact, they did it with a swiftness usually matched only by their zeal to call [...] Jeff, who’s not a Catholic apologist by any stretch of the imagination, writes about Pope Benedict, and makes a lot of sense… [E]very little boy in Nazi Germany was in the Hitler Youth. It would have been amazing had Benedict stood up and said no. If he had he would have been a martyr though. I’m [...] William Donohue, who’s usually pretty spot on with his analysis of the institutionalized anti-Catholic bias in this country asks a great question in Wednesday’s New York Daily News: It may be that “The Da Vinci Code” is one of the most inane movies to appear in some time, and it may be that its failure to [...] Mark Frauenfelder, a complete, total, and utter bore who posts on Boing Boing, noted last week an article about a Manga book that was removed from the shelves of the San Bernardino County public library because it had depictions of animal sex in it. Numerous news outlets noted this, but of course Boing Boing [...] “But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.” Acts 2:24 Happy Easter to everyone! PARIS (Reuters) – After backing calls by Muslims for respect for their religion in the Mohammad cartoons row, the Vatican is now urging Islamic countries to reciprocate by showing more tolerance toward their Christian minorities. Roman Catholic leaders at first said Muslims were right to be outraged when Western newspapers reprinted Danish caricatures of the Prophet, [...] So many Christians are acting like jerks right now it makes me sick. Of course, the Phelpsesque fundamentalists are all clammoring to tell the world that Katrina is God’s judgment wrought upon a sinful city. How stupid can you be?

That’s the way [...] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people [...] Catholics of the world unite…
When Queen Victoria was a child, she didn’t realize that she was in line for the throne of England. Her instructors, trying to prepare her for the future, were frustrated because they couldn’t motivate her. She just didn’t take her studies seriously.
