B16 on Creationism

For those who missed it (NYT Link) [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/12/international/europe/12pope.html]: > Pope Benedict XVI has waded into the evolution debate in the United States, saying the universe was made as an "intelligent project" and criticizing those who say its creation

Ave Maria Town

Tom Monahan wants to create Ave Maria Town (real name) in Florida. The WSJ, with good reason, calls it a Catholic Jonestown [http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110007536]. Monahan's apparent hubris reminds me of one of my favorite GKC sayings: In order to be smart enough to

WaPo Attacks St. Paul

I like reading the Washington Post. It contains some of the finest writing in the land. But it's relentlessly secularist. Though it tries to cover it up, once in awhile, you come across something like this review of a novel based on the life of St. Paul [http:

Splitting the E-Church

St. JPII Website

A site devoted to John Paul II's potential canonization [http://www.vicariatusurbis.org/Beatificazione/]. Much of it isn't in English, but some is (look for the British flags). Thanks, Little Jimmy Akin [http://www.jimmyakin.org/2005/11/how_is_the_caus.html].

Atheists in Foxholes

> Thousands of veterans, including those from "the Greatest Generation" who served in World War II, are expected in Washington, DC next week for the November 11 " Atheists in Foxholes [http://www.atheistfoxholes.org/]" Parade and Rally on the national mall. > The event is designed

Bible Gets You Three

> Religious persecution in China has reached the point that distributing Bibles is earning a three-year prison sentence [http://www.washtimes.com/national/20051109-122418-9246r.htm]. I like this ironic twice: > Friends of Falun Gong, a religious movement espousing meditative practices, say that more than 100,000 of its adherents
