Referenced Article written by If John Paul went out like the sustained note of a grand organ, fading into silence, Benedict simply senses his tiredness and the hour, closes up his piano, and bids us adieu. Ratzinger, in the end, is still Ratzinger: he does his work, kisses it all up to the Holy Spirit and moves on, not particularly concerned about the peripheral yakking of man or media.

In the Pope’s most recent tweet, our dear Papa had this to say to us: We must trust in the mighty power of God’s mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace transforms us and makes us new. [snip)

There´s lots to read about today´s huge announcement but there´s little I´ve read that is as expressive and beautiful as what Calah Alexander has written:
Pope Benedict is the only Pope I’ve ever known. Coming from a Protestant background, “in persona Christi” is an entirely foreign and much-despised concept. Who needs someone to be Christ for us when we have Christ in our hearts and the Holy Spirit to guide us? Well, I did...

By now the assumption is that you´ve seen this picture.
Someone captured this stupendous thing on the evening of the same day the Pope announced his pending resignation and it´s making its way across the globe even as I write this.
The reaction of course is predictable. Some are calling it fake though I don´t think to this point there´s been any evidence of that.
Others are calling it a sign of God´s wrath on the Church, likely for her refusal to bow to the culture´s ´modernity´, a flash of lightning bidding good riddance to the Pope...

Have you heard? There’s an Occupy comic book coming. If you thought the Occupy movement was a laughing matter … well, you may be onto something. DC Comics — a company whose name is a reminder that its earliest product was meant to bring a smile to its customers’ lips — announced on Friday that it will be releasing two new series. Both focus on the plight of the 99 percent.

There’s a long, poorly written piece at Esquire called, “The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden… Is Screwed.” The writer, Phil Bronstein, actually got face time with the former SEAL who put a bullet in Bin Laden. Unfortunately, Bronstein tried to do too many things with his piece, wandered all over the place, made the article twice as long as it should have been and turned it into a huge mess.

Of all of the characteristics one might ascribe to Susan Rice, prescience is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. Surprisingly however, five years ago she said something that demonstrated a momentary clarity of vision that is staggering. In a March 2008 interview she said the following: “Clinton hasn’t had to answer the phone at 3:00 in the morning, and yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready. They’re both not ready to have that 3 AM phone call.” If the events immediately following Benghazi showed Ambassador Rice to be a hapless marionette of the administration, the

Specifically, when it’s government mandated insurance that you buy for your own good and/or the good of society at large. Because your government loves you to death.(snip)Be sure to tune in next week when I cover the newest deficit reduction plan: mandatory insurance on free speech...

For over four years we have been instructed by those supposedly most knowledgeable and most insightful, occupying positions of leadership advancing society forward beyond the now and into the great unknown, that a new and magically wondrous elixir named “QE” would be the salve to all anxieties. It matters little that QE stands for Quantitative Easing, and may as well conjure up notions of a long-reigning monarch, since its true long-term consequences appear beyond our collective comprehension. Nevertheless, its impact is not as benign as one queen’s influence on ‘her people’. With minimal scrutiny or analysis by most of our

Illinois has surged in some of those wonderful categories that help us rate the success of a state´s economy and general desirability for quality of life. And, as in most categories, Illinois marks in the highest ranks of the lowest ratings. Thanks to the Democrats, Illinois is among the best of the worst.

Of course, there are the haters.

And, incredibly but not really, there are haters within the Church...

Infighting continued amongst conservatives and Republicans this week. Karl Rove angered Tea Partiers by implying they don’t know how to pick candidates. Majority Leader Eric Cantor told anyone who would listen Republicans need to learn to craft their message better for a broader audience. Every conservative group and politician is scrambling to find a way to appeal to various groups of Americans in a way that will “work” to win them votes. It reeks of desperation…and it’s nothing new.
