Vowing to not post any more on DVC, the media continues to thwart me – today it was the Diane Rehm show, which today featured in the discussion: Desson Thomson, movie critic for the Washington Post Jay Tolson, US News and World Report The Very Reverend David O’Connell, president of the Catholic University of America…

A new angle: To protect Vermont’s 128 parishes and missions from "unjust attack," Burlington Bishop Salvatore R. Matano has placed each under a charitable trust. That means the titles to all parishes, once in the name of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington Inc., are now in the name of the parishes with the bishop…

A reader thought we might be interested in discussing this: Holy Rosary parish in Indianapolis is a traditionally Italian parish, and also home to a thriving Indult Tridentine liturgy, with the full support of the Archbishop. This past weekend, the associate pastor announced that he was (amicably) leaving the FSSP for the Archdiocesan priesthood. As…

The discussion regarding the invitation to prayer and penance extended by the Vatican to Fr. Maciel, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, rages, thanks in part to the lack of clarity about exactly why Fr. Maciel has been invited to do this – because he has been judged guilty and he is too old to…

Until this afternoon. I am talking to a couple of classes at Katie’s school – on how to use the Catechism and the Compendium and then about certain other topics, like a movie that came out this past weekend. Sigh. So until then, a brief, late report of various recent talks. Last Tuesday, I headed…

1) I’m going to start holding back comments posted overnight for approval. I might start requiring Typekey  so be ready! 2) Links from the email box: – A great new Byzantine Rite Catholic blog – a group blog with several contributors. –Clayton Emmer has posted a podcast of a recording he made of one of…

Audio of a joint lecture/discussion with N.T. Wright and Anne Rice. Haven’t listened yet, but I will soon.

I am curious as to why a woman would have such misogynist attitudes toward women and marriage. I speak of you. Do you consider yourself defiled? Would sexual union with you be  a defiling act? You will of course deny that you have any such thoughts, feelings, or motives in writing what you have written.…
