MIchael Paulson’s got a close-up photo and the story of the Cardinals’ rings: Turns out that these rings are sort of designed by the pope, in the sense that the pope gets to choose the image on the outside, which in this case is a modern depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus, with Mary and…

with a religion connection… Now playing across Nigeria: The saga of a church that self-produced a few films and became an instant mogul in the country’s giant movie marketplace known as Nollywood. It’s the latest — and perhaps most audacious — foray into mass culture by the Redeemed Christian Church of God. In less than…

Today’s homily at the Mass at St. Peter’s with the new cardinals: He addresses some the issues we’ve been haggling about here, in a way: In the Incarnation of the Son of God, in fact, we recognize the origins of the Church. Everything began from there. Every historical realization of the Church and every one…

Yesterday, about ten people sent me the link to the review in the New Republic of Fr. Neuhaus’ latest book. The review is here, and it’s harsh.

Robert Barron, as a person to really get this thing going and focus: When the Rev. Robert Barron talks about why he thinks Jesus is the answer to what is missing in people’s…

Rocco draws attention to this photo of the Pope in procession, says it’s "fun." But not for the reasons you’d think, and what’s implied – actually, the rainbow flag in Europe is a common symbol of the peace movement, more than anything else.

I’m about to be on the radio program sponsored by Ave Maria School of Law and hosted by Fr. Michael Orsi – The Advocate. At some point after the program airs, you can listen to an archived version there, or you can listen live right now at the Detroit radio station on which it’s aired…

The Web Elves are on top of this story, which should be clarifying for many.

"The Prophet Muhammad has said several times that those who…
