Nice, slightly new look for David Hartline’s great site.

Jenkins is quite a busy man, isn’t he? He produces consistently excellent and even prescient books at a steady, dependable clip. His Hidden Gospels debunked DVC before the novel was even published. The Next Christendom has defined the discussion on global Christianity since its publication. One book of his that I particularly enjoyed is one…

Yesterday morning, I spoke in Milwaukee to a smaller, but quite interested and engaged group at the Milwaukee Archdiocesan center. Auxiliary Bishop Sklba offered a few thoughts on the canon of Scripture before it was my turn and Archbishop Dolan was in attendance, as well. I’d never given this talk in front one, much less…

Sandra Miesel’s husband (this via Mark Shea) My husband John has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and will be having his first chemotherapy tomorrow. The doctor is optimistic that it can be treated–one third of lymphoma patients are still alive in five years.But John is very weak and poorly coordinated at present. He’ll be…

Pretty tired today, so I will probably leave you hanging a bit more. We didn’t get back until 11:45 last night, so that probably speaks for itself. Let’s just say that the Archbishop’s house survived with just one speck of cranberry sauce on the carpet, which was getting cleaned up as we left. Moments you…

Later this week in Rome, an enormous gathering of representatives of the "new movements" will take place  – it’s Pentecost 2006, the second such gathering. The first was in 1998, with John Paul II. Here’s the website for the event – it’s mostly in Italian, with certain elements in other languages as well. Here’s the…

From the June issue of Touchstone, an article on recent statements about evolution, etc. from various Catholic luminaries: In a telephone interview given after the Times article appeared, Schönborn said that although his article had not been vetted by the Vatican, he had spoken with Ratzinger a few weeks before his elevation to the papacy…

You’re going to want to discuss this one – it’s from NCR(eporter), and it’s a rather startling, honest reflection on a year spent working with the Christian Appalachian Project in eastern Kentucky. (Comments closed, though, ’til Wednesday night. You know how it is. Control freak here.) The writer spent a year volunteering, and came away…

I’m just going to clean out my email box and post all the great links you folks have passed along here. Then when I get home, we’ll start all over again since, I hope, my brain will back in business and DVC-free. There’s a celebration of G.K. Chesterton going on over at the Chesterton blog…

Talk went well tonight in Milwaukee – many thanks to the great Archdiocesan staff who publicized and coordinated things – thanks that I’m sure I’ll be repeating tomorrow. MANY thanks to the very patient staff to whom Joseph attached himself like a leech. We remember, ruefully, the days when he was almost morbidly shy. Now…
