Not unreasonably, the question is being asked early and often…how did the children do? By which they mean the 4-year old and the 1-year old we dragged to Rome. Katie, for her part, did fine – helped a great deal by various tour guides, who, I think, are important for helping keep teens engaged. I…

Ah, Rome…the Eternal City, the City of Catholic Bloggers. Well, two of them, at least: The Roamng Roman and Zadok! The Roaming Roman is a student at the Bernardi campus of St. Thomas University. She very kindly invited us to dinner at their residence Tuesday night – Mardi Gras, as it happened. We were instructed…

This trip started out as just…a trip, but soon, because it’s a small, small Catholic world, the meetings and greetings just started rolling. First and biggest props and thanks go to Charley Collins of Vatican Radio. I told Charley I was coming about six weeks ago, and he not only set up an interview with…

There’s a lot more to come. I’m only doing general impressions right now. More specific, mostly church-y stuff will come later…

To point you to the blog of Lewis Perdue, who’s suing Dan Brown and Random House for plagiarism of a novel of his, but who is blogging on the other trial in London – he has a post from a court-watcher who’s reported on today’s proceedings. I’m seeing that one of the perculating questions out…

I found Roman commercial life fascinating, from the street vendors to the clothing stores with what seemed like 50 pieces of clothing on display, and that’s it. We wandered quite a bit, mostly intentionally, sometimes…not. Well, really, just twice on the latter, I think – once when we spent a great deal of time trying…
