The LAtimes, miraculously, has some criticism of Cardinal Mahony: In describing his response to sexual abuse allegations, Mahony has said he and other bishops initially believed molesting priests could be cured through therapy. He said that his approach changed over time, and that he established a zero-tolerance policy in 1992 for abusive clergy. "It was…

John Farrell notes a Boston case in which a priest was cleared of charges against him, and comments: I have only a couple of comments. 1. Notice that when ambulance chasers "lawyers" get their cases thrown out, they start whimpering about "technicalities." 2. Notice that the woman who smeared Father Murphy doesn’t have to give…

First of all, I’ll tell you that on my trip, I read Wright’s Paul: In Fresh Perspective, a short, meaty book in which he brings together the highlights of all of his previous work on Paul. Simply put, having not read his previous Pauline commentary, this little book jostled my world fairly severely, in a…

The Roamin’ Roman has begun her arduous task of posting all of her photos and commentary from the Triduum – yes, she got to every Papal liturgy, and then some. Here’s the link to her blog. This Triduum, with no closing blessing at the Holy Thursday or Good Friday liturgies, it really hit home to…
