Ace reporter John Allen looks at The Pope and the Pill 40 years after Paul VI’s prophetic encyclical, Humanae Vitae

Steve Schippert finds the Administration leaking information about Iraq. Good thing the press ignores it!

A new translation of the mass has been approved; it’s really more of a return to the more accurate translation of the Latin which we learned right after the Second Vatican Council. Interestingly, I started using the old/now new “Lord I am not worthy” a few years ago – quite spontaneously – as it leaked out of the recesses of my memory, and just went with it.

Vacation must come soon!
