Bill Cork has  thoughts on the visit of Bishop Javier Echevarria, the Prelate of Opus Dei, to Houston (over 2000 heard him speak) Last week Bishop Javier Echevarria, the Prelate of Opus Dei, visited Houston. Over 2000 people were present for the "Get Together." The event was typically Opus Dei. He did not give a…

John Allen reports that the format of his online presence at NCR(eporter) will soon change a bit: The new format, however, is the tip of the iceberg. In fairly short order, there will be an entirely new "John Allen" page on the NCR Cafe which will contain three distinct elements: Daily filings Monday through Friday,…

in order to appeal to the unwashed masses? I mean…that’s what the Times said he was going to do…isn’t it? Er, no. In his – extemporaneous – homily this morning at Mass with the members of the International Theological Commission, the Pope did not abolish Limbo. You think I’m joking about this? Take a look…

The first concerns an archaeologist who used the ruins of Syrian ghost towns to re-connect Syrian Christians to their heritage: Dr. Loosley discovered that the local Christians knew nothing about the history of the nearby ruins. Christians are a minority in Muslim-dominated Syria, and they have grown…

Eve style: The Church is such a tabloid religion, so willing to get down in the gutter and start punching, so willing to bring the Cross to the people. Mysteries without secrets; an up-front and brazen faith. And if you shake it in people’s faces… people will talk about you. Because you’re hot. Has anyone…

Well..maybe not everyone. Just some of us. (and in a good way) Check it out. Oh, and in viewing that video, I discovered a rather extensive subgenre of YouTube videos – of late term babies kickin’ it up inside their moms. Neat – and not just for the babies, but for the delighted and fascinated…
