Here is another interesting Podcast by a couple named Sarah and Rob. Rob is a cradle Catholic who had fallen away and Sarah was a Mormon. They talk about their conversion story and also talk about both the Catholic Church and the Church of the Latter Day Saints. There show is very entertaining and presented casually and there is a lot of good information on what Mormons believe and contrasting that with what the Catholic Church teaches. They offer a lot of good advice especially for interfaith couples on how to deal with problems inherent in these situations.

Barbara Nicolosi at Church of the Masses posts about an interview she had with a NY Times reporter.

James: So, in the last six months, there have been 37 pairings in the Times of the word "Christian" with words like "scary", "frightening", "theocratic" and "intimidating". My question is, what is it about Christians that makes you so scary?

Barb: (loud, snorting and sneering laughter) Are you kidding me?

James: What?

Barb: I finally get interviewed by the New York Times, and you ask me a question like that?! (more snorting and laughing)

James: (sniffs) Are you laughing because you think it’s funny that people find Christians frightening?

Barb: No. I’m laughing because you want me to tell you why you and your friends are scared of Christians — and I think you should ask your therapist!

As they say read the whole thing. It had me laughing out loud several times.

Dale Price once again levels his considerable wit fisking article from the National Catholic Reporter. This time on Benedictine Arnold Sr. Joan Chittister. No small animals were harmed in this fisking, but I warn you not to read it if you have stitches anywhere on your body that you don’t want to have pop out. It is also interesting how Sr. Chittister seems to have the understanding of some anti-Catholics since she repeat so many canards that you would think she was a disciple of James White.

Sometime commenter on my blog Dr. Thursday started his own blog a little over a week ago and besides being chock full of Chesterton also covers aspects of science. Interesting also is that he mentions Frances Blogg the wife of G.K. Chesterton and I wonder how the Catholic blogosphere ever missed that great pun connection. Earlier this week he had an excellent post "GKC about the INTERNET" and today has a very interesting biology-theology-reflection on hemopoietic centers and the priesthood.

Check out this new club at a fairly new blog "For Lack of a Better Term."

TSO has an insightful post up called Knocking in the Dark.

Brian at Noetic Muse has some thoughts to the question "What is Man?" and what the triump of a secular culture would entail.

Zadok the Roman has picture up of today’s Corpus Domini procession in Rome with Pope Benedict XVI.

But the Corpus Christi procession, he said, is a moment when Catholics walk with the risen Lord, carrying him to the ends of the earth.

"One cannot eat the risen Lord present in the figure of bread as if it were simply a piece of bread," the pope said. "To eat this bread is to ‘communicate,’ to enter into communion with the person of the living Lord.

"This communion, this act of eating, is truly an encounter between two persons; it is allowing oneself to be penetrated by the life of the one who is Lord, the one who is my creator and redeemer," Pope Benedict said.

Going to the altar and receiving Communion, he said, is a sign that the faithful want to be transformed and conformed to Christ, "who is love alive."

"Communion implies adoration; it implies the desire to follow Christ," he said. [Source]

On the other end of the spectrum John Gibson has a series of stills from the Episcopalian clown Mass mentioned earlier this week at Open Book.

This article links to blogs by three different Filipino bishops.
I especially like The Meaning Bp. Jose R. Manguiran, DD which is subtitled "Life is meaningful only when it begins and ends with Christ." and this post called Connectedness.

In preparation for Trinity Sunday there is lots of good stuff at Ut Umum Sint on Trinitarian heresies and passages from the Catechism.

Also Dr. Marchellino D’Ambrosio has a good section with multiple articles on the Trinity.
