Fordham Students Oppose Ethics Award To Justice Breyer

A friend at the Cardinal Newman Society passed this along:
Less than two weeks after The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) broke the story that pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is the intended recipient of the Fordham-Stein Ethics Prize, Fordham University students are working feverishly to collect signatures petitioning President Rev.

Pelosi: Do As I Say, Not As I Do

BUSTED! The Washington Times reports that Nancy Pelosi paid husband with PAC funds - a process she (unsuccessfully) sought to make illegal last year:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband’s real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with [...]

If You’ve Been To The Movies Lately

You’ll identify with this:
NOT so enjoyable was the process leading up to the movie. The pre-game, if you will, was unbearable…Now you’re getting full-featured commercials and highly produced movie shorts pitching products for minutes on end.

More Problems With Stadium Masses: Concessions During Communion!

D. Mac at Creative Minority Report has the scoop:
A cleric friend of mine reports in from the papal Mass in DC:

Update on Cardinal Schönborn’s “Art” Scandal

Reuters Faithworld blogger Tom Heneghan just commented to let me know that Cardinal Schönborn has been interviewed about the art scandal I posted on earlier this week:
“The Vienna Cathedral Museum has dedicated a special exhibition, for which the museum’s director, Dr Bernhard Böhler, is personally responsible, to the artist Alfred Hrdlicka on the occasion of [...]

This May Be The Most Disturbing Thing You Read Today

And yet, I highly doubt it will surprise you. I’ve got a bone to pick with the culture of narcissism, and I’ll take a swing at it any time I can. As far as commentary goes, there’s not much to say when something speaks so well for itself:
Melanie Engle was trying to just pluck [...]

Ted Turner, Comic GENIUS!

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m looking forward to global warming-induced cannibalism. It sounds neat.
