*Solemn High Mass in Duluth. Deo Gratias!
*It's The Passion of the Christ all over again!! Traditional Catholics will take to the streets and lynch Jews! RUN!! High Schmuck Abe Foxman and his cronies are "concerned" about gesture to SSPX. Were we expecting anything less from these Pro-Semite-Anti-Everybody-Else putzes and schlemiels? (Pardon my Yiddish, once again.)
*Second Annual Conference for Catholic Tradition to be hosted by Angelus Press in Kansas City.
*Catholic Hospitals in Texas are more beholden to NARAL than the bishops or the Catholic faith, and decide to administer abortifacient drugs. Springtime of the Church?
*Fr. Pavone roundup at LifeSite News. It is my strong suspicion that Priests for Life is a target of influential liberals in the American Catholic Church as they attempt to silence Catholic Pro-Lifers in the months leading up to the presidential election. I'm sure I'm not the only who thinks it's quite the coincidence that Bishop Zurek is asking people to stop giving to Priests for Life right when they need funding to get the message out about the most pro-abortion president this nation has ever had.
*That being said... There are some distressing things about Fr. Pavone's demeanor, and some things that he is saying that reminds me, quite frankly, of that crazy hack, John Corapi, and Ed Peters does a good job articulating what I find troubling. This was particularly well said:
Pavone: [It’s distressing to have to endure] disruption to a mission which is at the core of my life.Well, Dr. Peters will probably never be willing to say it, but I will: Too many Vatican II, EWTN priests are out of control! It's time to put a stop to the EWTN celebrity priests. They are simply too much of a liability.
Peters: Stop. Something is seriously askew here. Nothing, not even the most visible (and arguably the most effective) pro-life work in the world, is at the “core” of any priest’s life; nothing is there, besides the High Priest Jesus Christ. That is no pious platitude. For any priest, religious or diocesan, to assert before the world that anything is at the core of his life besides the Son of God is very disturbing.
Coming on the heels of the thwarting of Priests for Life activities is this from the Spokane Diocese regarding its attack on "40 Days for Life":

Could it have anything to do with increasing Administration pressure due to a tight partnership with Planned Parenthood?
Throughout its history, EWTN has seen more than one priest gone off on a bad way, and one would think EWTN would learn from history that priests are, like all of us, poor sinners, and they should not be turned into pop stars.
