Here’s today’s dispatch from the crossroads of faith, media and culture.

Everything Sacred. This is a scene from 1997-98 TV series Nothing Sacred.  The excellent series about Chicago parish priests was, IMHO, misnamed out of a misguided attempt to sound edgy. As this, one of my favorite scenes from the show, demonstrates, it should have been called Everything Sacred. In it, Fr. Ray (Kevin Anderson), joined by Fr. Leo (Brad Sullivan), recites a version of the traditional Catholic prayer St. Patrick’s Breastplate.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
