Nice story about a St. Meinrad monk Vinson hopes to be the archabbey’s beekeeper for a long time. "You can draw an interesting parallel from it. A monk is a student until death. So is a beekeeper." The monk often works with school groups. "I tell them I don’t use gloves when I work with…

Love, Cardinal Arinze The attention of your Bishops’ Conference was also recalled to the fact that Liturgiam authenticam was issued at the directive of the Holy Father at the time, Pope John Paul II, to guide new translations as well as the revision of all translations done in the last forty years, to bring them…

His roundup – not much insider stuff, but a summary: More round-up of news and commentary at American Papist. And finally, Diogenes at Catholic World News has sober thoughts: Those inclined to believe Maciel innocent haven’t been done any favors by the LC communications squad, which regularly manages to increase the very suspicions it sets…

Canonist Ed Peters: Nothing here proves the accusations against Maciel, which he has repeatedly denied; nor does it force the conclusion that CDF believes the accusations; in fact, we do not even know whether CDF is using the word "penance" with a sanctions-connotation. As American lawyers would say, there is wiggle-room in the statement, and…

I’d cleared my (oh-so busy) schedule for today to be available, and it looks like there’s not much happening. Which I’m glad about.
