…in New York: For the first time ever, I actually saw an entire half-hour program on partial-birth abortion on local Long Island (NY) TV last night.  http://www.wlnytv.com/ TV55 And it was actually good!  Presented with calmly-stated facts, it featured Rick Santorum, a young-ish doctor who used to perform abortions, a pro-life lawyer and the CEO…

From the Chicago Tribune: 365 churches in 365 days: On Good Friday, David Heimann mourned the death of Jesus Christ in the presence of the pope. And for the first time Sunday, he will be able to celebrate the resurrection of Christ in St. Peter’s Basilica. But Rome was not his only destination on this…

Michael’s on KVSS from Omaha right now…starting around 9:20 or so, I’d think – you can listen live here. (Talking about the How to Book of the Mass) (Let me repeat my praise for KVSS – truly one of the best Catholic radio stations in the country, and I think anyone who’s been interviewed by…

Anglican Bishop Tom (N.T) Wright in the Guardian: And whatever Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were doing in writing the final sections of their books, they were not telling the story of Jesus’s resurrection as a happy ending. They were telling it as a startling new beginning. Easter morning isn’t a slow, gentle waking up…
