Good heavens! The implication – white women are stupid!? Sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit. Can't you just go away…  

From the Jesuit magazine America. A little excerpt but worth hitting the link. I joined the Jesuit Volunteer Elder Corps at 68—and never looked back. When the acceptance letter arrived, I was elated. But doubts were close behind. Would I be able to give up my antiques, the moon on Lake Michigan, the symphony? I…

No doubt this column has been ready to go for a while. Says more about the NY Times than about Billy Graham. Billy Graham’s Missed Opportunities…

League President Bill Donohue comments – REV. BILLY GRAHAM, R.I.P. Bill Donohue comments on the death of Rev. Billy Graham: Growing up Catholic in New York in the 1950s, the Catholic we most identified with was Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the first televangelist.
