Where a Roman Catholic deacon ponders the world
Well, actually, I have no wisdom. But I have pens. Every booth here is giving away free pens. Which is appropriate, since the Catholic Media Convention is in Pen-nsylvania. Heh.

Remember when priests never went anywhere without a breviary? Here’s the 21st century (Anglican) version, from the BBC: A parish priest is turning heads by using the latest technology to help communicate with his flock.

Plucky Elizabeth Scalia nabbed a seat near the festivities and has been live-blogging the big event. Check out her impressions, updated throughout the day, over at The Anchoress.

Well, whataya know?

Visit the site, Theology Degrees, to see who else is on their list. You’ll find a [...]
