In the News
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 8, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The U.S. Supreme Court has denied an atheist's legal challenge to the national motto "In God We Trust" imprinted on U.S. currency, thereby letting a federal appeals court ruling that the references to God are constitutional stand. Read the whole story here.
IMPERIAL, Neb. — It sounds like a story dreamed up by a little boy, but to understand what Colton Burpo says you have to hear what he says happened to him. Read the whole story and watch video here. My wife Janet read the book and said it was so sad how impoverished Protestantism is. They have no concept of the Communion of Saints and therefore were baffled by much of what the boy said.
Teen Depression
Our parish, Christ the King in Ann Arbor Michigan, recently conducted an excellent conference on Teen Depression. The audio files can be found here. Pass it on to anyone you know who has struggling teenagers.
Woman who Repents of Pseudo-ordination
From Canon Lawyer and Friend Ed Peters:
A blog post about the National Catholic Reporter story on Norma Jean Coon, the woman who recently repented of her pseudo-ordination. Discussion of her excommunication, reconciliation, and the National Catholic Reporter story.
I read with bemusement the National Catholic Reporter story on the recent reconciliation of Norma Jean Coon… My reactions to the Coon case and NCRep's story on it fall into three parts. Fair Warning: You're gonna think I'm making the first part up. I'm not.

Catholic Answers Live – Making the Most of Lent
On Wednesday I was the first guest on Catholic Answers Live. The topic was "Getting the Most Out of Lent.'
Below are the questions I answered. To hear the broadcast on-line, click here (available soon) and for more listening options, click here.
1) Should I keep my ashes on my forehead when I go to work? What if the boss tells me I have to wash them off?
2) What is the biblical basis for Lent?
3) What day is the end of Lent? Why is it not exactly 40 days?
4) Is chicken considered meat? I want to give up meat for Lent. What are the rules?
5) When I was young my mother never ate meat on Fridays? Why has that changed?
6) What is Ash Wednesday?
