A codicil, though. I don't want us to fall into the "victim mentality" mode of thinking. On the other hand, here in Massachusetts there was rampant anti-Catholicism in the 1840s until the 1920s or so. Including burning down of convents and parishes and not hiring Catholics (or worse, Irish Catholics). It would be nice to have a big-fat govermental check in recompence and a public apology from the government for holding us back and costing us money! ;-)
This week's program also looks interesting. His guest will be Archbishop John Patrick Foley, President, Pontifical Council for Social Communications (Vatican). The topic of discussion is Mass Media & the Church. Lol ... a continuation of the same theme?
BTW, did you watch the Installation Mass of Archbishop Sean? (I tuned in at work with the volume set low). You are indeed blessed to have him as your new archbishop. According to The Wanderer, O'Malley may be called to Rome in October to receive a red hat. My guess is they will have to drag him there kicking and screaming :-D
