A friend of mine, whom I will identify by his initial, T., had posted a message on my wall. It read: Max, Haha just saw some funny pictures [...]]]></description>

This first occurred to me two years ago, when I attended an ordination ceremony for three new priests of the Diocese of Phoenix. One, whom [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine, actually one of my old parish&#8217;s most accomplished busybodies, once talked her way into the hotel room of a 1950&#8242;s rock guitarist when he was performing in the Phoenix area. Her goal &#8212; her sole goal &#8212; was to get the legend&#8217;s autograph for a friend of hers. After sizing my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researching last week&#8217;s piece on tattooing revived somewhat my old interest in Polynesian culture. With no pig to stick or roast, I had to indulge my enthusiasm the virtual way &#8212; by watching a YouTube clip in which a mixed group of Maoris performs a war chant. The effect was suitably horrifying. The performers managed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, at the Crescat blog, Katrina Fernandez wrote that nobody has ever died from not having sex. Initially, her statement struck me as a bit reductive. No, the body doesn&#8217;t need sex in the same way it needs food and water, but it does appreciate sex &#8212; so much so that it&#8217;ll thank people for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, a friend of mine covered his enormous tricep with a portrait of his parents. On the whole, it was a good tattoo, even if the black-and-white fine-line work did resemble a style popular among inmates of Arizona&#8217;s state penitentiaries. For some reason, he&#8217;d had it superimposed on an older, cruder piece &#8212; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Shea&#8217;s May 1 column, the one in which he informally canonizes the late Perry Lorenzo, might not qualify as a revolutionary act. But it will, I think, represent something &#8212; a subtle but important tonal shift in the intra-Church conversation on homosexuality. If Mark himself doubted his column represented something new, he probably wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a shame I wasn&#8217;t in a church with an open confessional last Saturday. I would very much like to have seen the look on the priest&#8217;s face when I told him, &#8220;Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It&#8217;s been&#8230;oh, about 15 minutes since my last confession.&#8221; It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;d committed any fresh [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many observers have a hard time believing that the LCWR really was &#8220;stunned,&#8221; as it has claimed, by the results of the CDF&#8217;s recent doctrinal assessment. In the past, after all, women religious leaders made no bones about mistrusting Rome. Claiming Our Truth, published by the LCWR in 1988, predicted: &#8220;fidelity to society and church [...]]]></description>
