The Catholic Church will never ordain women...
Thanks to technical problems, I wasn't able to comment on Rowan Williams ("Archbishop of Canterbury" in the Henrician usurpation tradition, as Gerald Warner calls him) lecturing the Vatican on the virtues of women priests.

The black nobility still serves St. Peter...
Italy may be a republic, but it's still a young republic, and the royalty and aristocracy of its past continue to run through its veins. One of the happy consequences of this is that princes and princesses still live in Rome and, if you live here long enough, you'll probably run into a few of them.

Arguably the most influential sports book of the decade, and almost certainly the most controversial, was 2003's Moneyball by Michael Lewis. It exposed a dirty little secret that baseball's best minds already understood: the categories that shape judgments about the game are often badly flawed.
