At the gravesite of Senator Edward Kennedy on Saturday, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the former Archbishop of Washington, shared a private letter that the deceased Senator wrote to the Pope. The Cardinal also read what he described as a response from the Pontiff. This marvelous bit of political theatre (as so much of Senator Kennedy’s funeral was), should not escape attention. That moment in particular revealed a great deal. First of all, it must be recalled that Cardinal McCarrick has a rather unfortunate history involving the delivery of letters, particularly those from a certain Vatican official by the name of Ratzinger....

The Laura Ingraham show is on.

Laura Ingraham is back. I'm glad that the sometimes correct but whiny Tammy Bruce isn't guest hosting today. While Tammy is less obnoxious than the average pro-abortion lesbian feminazi, it does bother me that a supposedly pro-life, pro-marriage devout Catholic like Laura would allow Tammy to be her guest host when she's gone.

I just finished reading Raymond Arroyo's "Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles." Here's my review of the book, which I highly recommend. It makes an excellent Christmas present, for both the devout Catholic and the Catholic whose faith has been shaken as a result of the recent scandals. ----------------------------- Anyone who still believes that the Catholic Church holds women down and doesn't allow them to reach their full potential needs to read this book. Most Catholics have at least heard of Mother Angelica, the feisty cloistered nun who founded EWTN, the...
