Rocco’s got the goods on the Compendium of the Catechism (coming this fall to the US) I’ve recently discovered that our friend Sandro Magister, has a blog on the website for L’Espresso – if you go down to the second entry, he has a post on the Compendium. I don’t think he likes it. I…

On Sunday, Bishop Ryszard Karpinski of Lublin, Poland,…

Not Dead Yet is blasting PBS: In an all-too-common feat of cultural insensitivity, PBS has chosen July 26th, the anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to air "POV: The Self-Made Man." The documentary features the videotaped statements of Bob Stern, an elderly man deciding to commit suicide rather than face…
