Last year the Vatican issued a Ten Commandments for drivers. It got me thinking: if they can make commandmnents for everyday things like the morning commute, maybe I can make some commandments, too. Thou shalt not believe in things for which there is no evidence, because to do otherwise is dumb and dangerous. Thou shalt do your best to use your rational mind to understand the world around you and the people in it, because ...

Love it or hate it, the Washington Post is a fine newspaper and it is very rare to see a story hit its front page with a large and glaring hole in it. But that’s what happened today, with the story that ran with the headline “Some Abortion Foes Shifting Focus From Ban to Reduction.” The story is accurate when it states that there are major tensions inside the pro-life movement. But the story misses ...

It's been less than a month since the staunchly pro-choice Barack Obama has been elected President, and already anti-abortion advocates are reassessing their goals. Some anti-choicers are taking a practical route, according to the Washington Post, supporting legislation that may cut down on the need for abortion, like providing poor women with health care, child care, and money for education. However, the hard core anti-choicers see support for such social programs as "selling out." "We ...

Apparently, in Beverly Hills, no place is sacred. Mark Wahlberg, the Dorchester boy turned Hollywood star, is irritated that people have been handing him scripts at Mass. From Starpulse.com: "I go to church and people ask me if they can be on Entourage, what's gonna happen. I go to church to worship, I don't go to church to talk about it. The stuff that I did with my entourage back in the day is stuff ...

A reader draws my attention to this splendid, simple project, currently being undertaken on the comparatively small budget of $3.1 million. The architectural language is austere but not unfinished, and the interior simple but hierarchically-planned and possessing a clear sense of procession and longitudinal movement. The church is slated for dedication in October 2009. The project is actually the completion of a "basement church" built around half-a-century ago that never got above ground-level. (Unfortunately my ...

As most of you probably know, the New York Times has a Public Editor, Clark Hoyt. A veteran newsman, and only the third to serve in this position (created in 2003), Hoyt’s job, in a nutshell, is to (re)present the voice of the New York Times reader. This past Sunday Hoyt took up a topic guaranteed to evoke strong feelings in many of his, and of our readers: how newspapers cover religious-themed art, especially when ...

Sometimes one or two words can make a lot of difference when you are dealing with complex issues of law and doctrine. This is especially true when the topic being discussed is abortion. Consider the paraphrased quote in today’s Chicago Tribune story by Manya A. Brachear about the meeting of the U.S. Catholic bishops that is unfolding up in Baltimore. Things get off to a solid, if predictable, start. Chicago’s Cardinal Francis George applauded the ...
