This blog will switch off, more or less, for the next ten days. Important things going on.

Adventures on the internet

This story is awkward: a pro life advocate is called up for handing out pro life material in a Church parking lot. For ‘trespass’. Does the Church have to stoop to using the criminal justice system [...]

A$dventures on the internet

The full text of Card. Castrillon Hoyos’ address to the LMS. The Gregorian Rite is to become a ‘normal occurrence in the liturgical life of the Church’. More here, where a clarification of the Holy See’s position on the Holydays relocated to Sunday is pulled out.

Term draws to a close and I cannot wait to get off the routine for a while. Mapping the links over the last few weeks, I find myself posting a lot more pro Israeli material. While I cannot approve of every policy of the State of Israel, I would tend to favour Israel’s defence over [...]
