Yes, at least one Catholic bishop has noticed Giuliani’s views in the past: Cardinal Keeler. Rudolph Giuliani’s stature as the hero of 9/11 didn’t mean much to Baltimore Cardinal William Keeler in 2005 when Loyola College, a Catholic school, decided to give Giuliani an honorary degree. To the archbishop of Baltimore, the former Time magazine…

Robert Hughes takes a look at the cultural heritage of Barcelona through the prism of a forthcoming exhibit at the Met. There’s more to Barcelona than Gaudi, although he towers above the rest, naturally enough. Some things I didn’t know: In the latter years of his life, when making the figures for the Nativity facade…

Over at The New Liturgical Movement, Shawn Tribe has begun this quite interesting feature which we might call "Design on A Dime, Catholic Style." Or something: However, there are things that are less costly which can be done, but which could significantly shift the liturgical ethos of a parish back into a more traditional direction,…

A brief Christianity Today piece laying out the basics of the two main re-asserters groups within the American Anglican/Episcopal world The new Anglican outposts differ in structure and aims. AMiA,…

A provocative Corner post, I thought, here: According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: "I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas." There should be no need to explain…

Not even close. The Edwards blogger issue continues. The issue is, as I said yesterday, what the attitude of these bloggers says about Edwards. Really. The direction these conversations are taking in the blogo- and pundi-spheres seems to be in one of "Well…look at your side!" This is pretty classic skirting-the-issue, in my book. Er,…
