Two interesting posts: One on why the Pope celebrates Corpus Christi on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday and the other on reports that the Pope is cutting down meetings with politicians.  (On the former point, Shouts in the Piazza reports on the latest rumors regarding any announcements on the Tridentine rite issue are now centering…

Maggie Gallagher on the coming clash: How much of the coming threat to religious liberty actually stems from same-sex marriage? These experts’ comments make clear that it is not only gay marriage, but also the set of ideas that leads to gay marriage–the insistence on one specific vision of gay rights–that has placed church and…
