As celebrity scandals go, it’s probably second only to the O.J. trial: Woody Allen leaving Mia Farrow, his girlfriend and muse of 14 years, for her adopted teenage daughter Soon-Yi. That was way back in 1992, and what was unthinkable then has long since come to pass: Woody Allen has been forgiven by the public at large. His most recent film, “Midnight in Paris,” has made over $56 million at the US box office to date — his highest-grossing film ever. Along with Elaine May and Ethan Coen, he contributed a one-act play to Broadway’s “Relatively Speaking,” which opened this...

I begin by asking all of our readers to pray for Fr. Geoffrey Farrow. He was the pastor of the St. Paul Newman Center at California State University at Fresno until he was suspended by his Bishop and removed from his position. This strong action was required and intended to be remedial, as are all canonical sanctions. Fr. Farrow openly defies the teaching of the Catholic Church concerning marriage and human sexuality. He also openly condemns the Catholic Church in public for her defense of marriage. Let me be clear, Fr. Farrow needs our prayer. We ask the Lord to...

Geoff Farrow objects to the K of C's support for California's Proposition 8 and for Catholic Moral Teaching Folks, this according to CNA: Fresno, Calif., Jul 2, 2009 / 06:43 am (CNA).- Citing the organization’s support for traditional marriage, a suspended Catholic priest who has turned to homosexual activism has called for Catholic pastors to block Knights of Columbus groups from their parishes and to borrow against the order’s insurance policies to fund homosexual groups. He said he advocated such action in part because the fraternal charitable organization helped support California’s Proposition 8, which restored legal marriage’s definition to being...

Hollywood star George Clooney and Mia Farrow on Tuesday stepped up their campaigns to highlight the Darfur conflict with visits to eastern Chad where hundreds of refugees have fled. Clooney is about to go to eastern Chad, while Farrow has just returned from the area where she met refugees.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- On leave from the violence he had survived in the war in Iraq, a young Marine was so wary of crime on the streets of his own home town that he carried only $8 to avoid becoming a robbery target. Despite his caution, Lance Cpl. Robert Crutchfield, 21, was shot point-blank in the neck during a robbery at a bus stop. Feeding and breathing tubes kept him alive 41/2 months, until he died of an infection on May 18. Two men have been charged in the attack, and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said Friday the...

<p>A West Memphis police officer has been exonerated in the June shooting death of a 12-yearold boy, special prosecutors who investigated the case announced Tuesday at the Crittenden County Courthouse in Marion.</p>
<p>H.G. Foster of Conway said after he and special prosecutor John “Jack” McQuary of Benton held a lengthy investigation and determined that DeAuntae Farrow was carrying a replica of a Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol when he was shot, they found insufficient evidence to charge Sgt. Erik Sammis in the boy’s death. DeAuntae’s family has claimed that he was only carrying a bag of chips and a soda. Foster said in an interview Tuesday afternoon, however, that paramedics who tended to DeAuntae found the toy handgun underneath the boy’s body. “One of the paramedics found the gun when they rolled DeAuntae over and tried to do life-saving measures,” Foster said. “The paramedic actually called one of the officers over and told him an officer had dropped his gun.</p>

City of Pewaukee - A year ago today Margaret Farrow moved into the newly remodeled lieutenant governor's office in Madison. But Wisconsin's first female to fill the No. 2 position in state government vowed earlier this year that her 27-year political career had come to an end when Barbara Lawton was elected to succeed her last November. Nevertheless, after being encouraged to oppose U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, who is up for election next year, she said she might invoke a woman's prerogative to change her mind. "I am leaving the door open a crack," she said this week when asked...

Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold may have another tight race for re-election ahead next year, the latest Badger Poll shows. While Wisconsin residents gave Feingold generally positive performance ratings - on par with the state's senior senator, Herb Kohl - residents aren't as convinced that he should win a third six-year term. The poll, sponsored by The Capital Times and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, found that 45 percent believe Feingold is doing a good or excellent job. Forty percent rated Feingold's performance as fair or poor. Those ratings are down slightly from February, when 48 percent gave Feingold the highest...
