CatholicsComeHome.org Responds to the Idiot HBO Host BillMaher
This guy Maher is a jerk extraordinaire. CatholicsComeHome.org is a great organization (I am on the Board of Advisers).
Bishop Explains Job of a Bishop
From my friend and Canon Lawyer Ed Peters: A remarkable essay by the Eagle of Fargo
Ironic.
One of the most important essays by a bishop on Canon 392 (the norm setting forth a bishop's fundamental duty to supervise the enforcement of ecclesiastical discipline in his diocese) never mentions Canon 392; one of the most important essays by a bishop on Canon 915 (requiring ministers to withhold holy Communion from certain pubic sinners) never mentions Canon 915; and in fact, one of the most important essays on canon law generally by a bishop since the 1983 Code came out, was not written by a canonist bishop and scarcely even mentions the Code.
Instead, Fargo North Dakota Bishop Samuel Aquila's (Bishop of Fargo) remarkable essay "Good Shepherd: Living Christ's Own Pastoral Authority" (here) shows how a bishop who thinks with the Church can't help getting the canonical big picture right at the same time. This should surprise no one, for canon law, in its turn, is all about getting the pastoral picture right.

Fumare as mentioned I above article
Added section on Wikipedia: "On March 18, 2011, Corapi was placed on administrative leave by his religious superior, Fr. Gerald Sheehan pending investigation of claims by a former employee that he had been in a relationship with her and is a drug addict. Corapi denied the allegations as false and said the process is flawed. Sheehan issued a statement emphasizing that the suspension "in no way implies Father Corapi is guilty of the allegation."

At Geronimo's Grave
At Geronimo's grave in Fort Sill Oklahoma. He was always a childhood hero of mine. When I galloped around the woods and fields on my horse as a kid I always pretended I was Geronimo!
Thanks to Fr. Fukes, military chaplain here, I got a tour of Fort Sills and got to visit the graves of the Apaches brought here as prisoners to Oklahoma. I was interested to see Christian crosses on their tombstones.
Geronimo converted to Christianity. His nickname "Geronimo" came from the Mexicans who called out in prayer to St. Jerome (Geronimo) when battling against him.
More on him later. I am Lawton Oklahoma giving a parish mission and speaking at the Catholic school. Great folks here at Holy Family parish –a beautiful church to.
