From the Chicago Tribune The Sun-Times He did not disclose Wednesday that doctors had also found cancer in his right ureter, the duct that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. Doctors knew of the cancer in the ureter before the surgery, they said. The ureter is so thin, the chance of the cancer…

Charlotte Allen e-interviews Ann Coulter at Beliefnet…whew. You say: "The core of environmentalism is that they hate mankind." But in February the National Association of Evangelicals, including such signers as Ted Haggard, James Dobson, and Chuck Colson, etc., issued a statement urging Christian stewardship of the environment, "creation care," and so forth. Are these people…

From the Vatican: The Vatican shares the disappointment of those who had hoped the Rome summit on the Middle East would lead to an immediate cease-fire in the conflict along the Israeli-Lebanese border, Vatican officials said. The conclusion — supported by the United States — that a cease-fire should be called only once there are…

Fr. Guy of Shouts in the Piazza was in attendance at the episcopal ordination of Most Rev. Daniel Thomas as Titular Bishop of Bardstown and Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia and reports: It was also great to hear the traditional chant "Te Deum" after Communion as the new bishop made his way around the cathedral blessing…

Then I Google Image searched pieta (http://images.google.com/images?q=pieta ) and noticed…

Media Matters comments on CNN’s high interest in the purported coming apocalypse, featuring Jenkins and LaHaye.

But here’s an open thread on the Middle East situation(s) for you….go for it. Perhaps start with Nouri Al-Maliki’s speech yesterday and the response to him and the complications? And then…everything in Lebanon? Sorry, I can’t offer more..you be the bloggers today, and feel free to post links to good discussions. Keep it cool, though!

This is interesting: Fr. Robert Altier, the subject of much discussion in the blogosphere, has written a letter to the Minneapolis-St. Paul diocesan spokesman, in response to the spokesman’s statements about his own situation. It’s intereting because Fr. Altier has, to this point, not spoken about his conflicts with the Archdiocese except in the most…

Look for even lighter blogging today – I’m at the library, because our home internet seems caput after a storm last night ( the power never went out, but the internet has been affected.) And then, in the 30 minutes I’ve been here, I couldn’t log onto Typepad until just now. So just a couple…
