…she scores. Barbara Nicolosi on this week’s DVC events: The Da Vinci Code is so ridiculous in its premises, that it is giving it a false gravity to even take it seriously enough so as to argue about it. ["And tomorrow, the Christians will be offering a hermenutical exigesis of moral praxis as can be…

…to Cleveland! Southern Baptists are rolling out a multimilli on-dollar evangelistic blitz to rock Cleveland with the Rock of Ages, an event other religious groups in the region are greeting with a mixture of anticipation and concern. Over the next two years, thousands of Southern Baptists from the state and the country are expected to…

…here’s Umberto Eco on DVC, and Fr. John Wauck points out Eco’s surprising (or not) recommendation: One curious side-effect of the Da Vinci Code phenomenon is the scholar-novelist Umberto Eco’s recommendation of the official Opus Dei website. Exhausted by continuous questions about the veracity of The Da Vinci Code, Italy’s best-known former-Catholic tells his readers,…

Several folks below (including the Roaming Roman) and an emailer or two have recommended the Catacomb of St. Priscilla as the catacomb of choice… Callixtus and the other catacomb site along or near the Via Appia are famous, and justly so,  but are also overwhelmed by tourists. You will feel like, well, a tourist. However,…

Anyway, where it stands: Meanwhile, parishioners at St. Mary, a formerly…

That’s what they say, you know. When you finally hit it big, even though it seems out of the blue, the humble new star in the firmament will declare "there’s no such thing as an overnight success…" And so, after a lifetime of playing bumblebees, monkeys and Oompa-Loompas, we are proud to announce that Miss…

What about you? Haven’t watched an Olympic opening ceremony in years. Maybe since the 70’s? Who knows. But it was on, and I was enamored by the dancing (well…sliding) cows. And the sign-bearers in Alps-Skirts. And the disco music that accompanied the athletes’ parade. It was very…European, in a Dieter-like way. And now—we dance! Okay,…

I hadn’t heard this – thanx to the reader who passed it on: CU Prez says no to VM: Father David M. O’Connell, President of Catholic University, commented on the issue. "I have read the play and have actually seen it performed on a television broadcast…I find the play crude, ugly, vulgar and unworthy of…

Ms. Jesus Freak lets loose on abortion. Annie Lamott: EVERYTHING WAS going swimmingly on the panel. The subject was politics and faith, and I was on stage with two clergymen with progressive spiritual leanings, and a moderator who is liberal and Catholic. We were having a discussion with the audience of 1,300 people in Washington…
