Catholics & Muslims Create 'Faith Force' To Combat Religious Violence
For three days, scholars and leaders representing both Catholicism and Islam have made this announcement. This could be deemed as historic and symbolic. It could forge an interesting bond and alliance between those of the Catholic faith and those of the Islamic faith. After... A good theologian joke
A barzelletta from Giulio Meotti's essay that appeared in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, noted at Papa Ratzinger Blog. There's a joke going around the Vatican. The progressive Swiss theologian Hans Kung reaches Paradise and discusses his theories with St..."The Pope Officially Abolishes Limbo"
That is the headline on this Ansa dispatch: which prompts the reflection that it must have been incredibly difficult in the late 60s and the 70s to follow Rome's decisions implementing the decrees of the Second Vatican Council when one had to rely on news services. The...Telegraph score: 0 and 3
It is Nick Pisa's turn in the Telegraph to get obvious and simple facts wrong with his report from Rome on today's celebration of Holy Mass for the second Sunday of Easter and Pope Benedict XVI's 80th birthday."The Pope, dressed in his bright red robes, was joined by the...Disquiet at Benedict XVI's second anniversary
Christian Terras, yesterday at Golias, took the two years of Pope Benedict XVI's pontificate into review and is not enthusiastic. Beginning by admitting Joseph Ratzinger's obvious intellectual and theological gifts, and rightly refusing to ascribe to him any simple...An unexpected meeting
Contrary to my supposition, this morning's meeting of the Holy Father with the heads of the curial dicasteries was an unscheduled one, according to the invaluable Rorate Caeli. Certain 'ministry' or 'department' heads have 'standing' audiences with the Supreme Pontiff...Should the Roman Pontiff suppress ermine-trimmed vestments?
The Italian Antivivisectionist League at the University of Pavia, where the Holy Father will visit on the 22nd, have issued a press release (that La Stampa has dignified by taking notice of) calling on his Holiness to give up the use of ermine to adorn the pontifical...Pope Benedict confuses a journalist again
I should keep track of each spectacularly skewed sentence that Mr Malcolm Moore writes for the Telegraph. In today's installment in the series, however, he seems to me to get the sense of things mostly correct: so it is just the one sentence I'll poke fun at. ...Someone, certainly, should choose his words more carefully, lest we remain di...
M. Z. Hemingway at GetReligion justifiably mocks the journalist Joseph Contreras's article on the Roman Pontiff Pope Benedict XVI in the current Newsweek International. A brief sample from the piece: "On his upcoming trek to the Brazilian town of Aparecida do Norte, he...Vatican welcomes new stem cell advance
Culled From Yahoo News The Vatican on Tuesday welcomed a new way of extracting stem cells that does not use human embryos, calling it a significant advance that could help medical research without going against...

Intelligent Catholics question Telegraph's ignorance and credulousness
This is just so ridiculous that it doesn't merit any comment, really, other than a few laughs at the utter cluelessness of the Telegraph and the hack they have writing for them from the Eternal City. And however it may be that Professor Giuseppe Alberigo in Bologna is a...Confirmation of proper translation of pro multis
Catholic World News has confirmed that the Holy See will insist that all new English translations of the words "pro multis" of the form of consecration in the Holy Mass will be 'for many', rather than the current 'for all'. Father John T. Zuhlsdorf, days ago, published...Ecumenism's goal; "the visible unity of the Church"
The CNA report on the Roman Pontiff's address yesterday to the plenary meeting of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity notes that the Holy Father admonished the participants in the meeting that "the aim of the ecumenical movement remains unchanged: the visible...Sandro Magister on the coming 'liberalisation'
Dr Magister masterfully summarises the status in quo; his conclusion, with my emphasis:Benedict XVI wants to heal this [Lefebvrist--MP] schism--which is, in effect, more doctrinal than liturgical--but he also wants to grant, beginning immediately, the innocent [i.e. free of..."Drinking too muich Spirit of the Council"
Dominicanus, in Sydney, on the French reverendissimi domini:... I'm betting on Benedict XVI and against the French Bishops. It's no wonder the Germans have invaded them three times in the last 136 years. If that lot of Gallic roosters were directors in a public company not...
