Goodbye, Old Legion. All the Powers of the New General...

As the pope's delegate, Archbishop De Paolis has full authority over everything and everyone. For Corcuera, Garza, and the other heads of the congregation founded by Marcial Maciel, the end is in sight. But they're still resisting.


Offbeat: Was Pope Pius XII a closet Yankees fan?
Thomas Peters
This was sent in to me by a reader this week and it seemed too fantastic not to be true: My father was in a private audience with Pope Pius XII. He asked where my father was from (New York City) and the Holy Father then asked: "how are the Yankees doing?"

Singing nuns get death threats...
Deacon Greg Kandra
Disturbing news out of France, about a group of nuns who made headlines recently: Benedictine nuns from a secluded convent in southern France have received death threats after winning a deal aimed at creating a chart-topping album, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

Did you hear the one about how Archbishop Burke was "promoted out" of the US?
