Second one so far: The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday it would expand its review of a federal law banning some abortion procedures and would decide a California case on whether the law was too vague and imposed a burden on women. The justices in February agreed to rule on a Nebraska case on…

Processions? Other gatherings? Let us know – post links to stories/photos if you have them, and I’ll move interesting photos up here for all to see!

A story from the St. Louis paper on the politicians/Communion business. Since I’ve not read any full statement on this issue, it’s hard to comment, but I’ll suggest offhand that the problem with the bishops’ present "stance" is that it utterly fails to challenge the politicians in question. I agree, actually that a blanket "statement"…

If you’ve noticed that you can’t get on the Episcopal blogs because of server overload…it’s probably because the Diocese of Fort Worth (one of the three that doesn’t ordain women to be priests) has appealed for "alternate oversight" from the Anglican Communion, that is (correct me if I’m wrong or incomplete) – that they would…

Patrick Brennan at Mirror of Justice comments: The website of the USCCB doesn’t yet report what the media are celebrating.  (The aforementioned website does already include news of the Conference’s denunciation of U.S. immigration policy and of the Conference’s approval of the revised translation of the liturgy).  The Cardinal and his collaborators have decided, after…

In case you’re wondering, I’m trying to put together a post on last week’s bishops’ meeting. I’m waiting a bit to see if any of the Catholic news services are going to put up any substantive news stories.

I’m interested for a number of reasons. My M.A. thesis, as it happens, was on the role of women in 19th-century American Protestantism, more specificially, the ways in which proponents of…

Abortion, adoption services to share space in Indianapolis: Planned Parenthood of Indiana closed its Eastside clinic near 21st Street and Ritter Avenue on Saturday, relocating to 86th Street and Georgetown Road on the Northwestside in a building previously used for unrelated medical purposes. Beginning in July, a counselor from Independent Adoption Centers, which arranges open…

You got it…from a Corpus Christi homily at an Anglo-Catholic parish in Boston: Right now, in Columbus, at General Convention, the Standing Committee on Liturgy and Music are considering a proposal to explore “multi-sensory worship.” By this they mean worship that employs new technologies of power point and multi-media devices. When I read about this,…

The Atlanta Eucharistic Congress seemed to be another rousing success – please post comments if you attended. The Journal-Constitution coverage Fr. Roderick of the Daily Breakfast Podcast was there, of course, and has posts and podcasts. And here’s what actually stunned me – the Congress was held at the Georgia International Convention Center (not the…
