Clericalism with protestants: After allowing a stripper on stage, megachurch Pastor John Lindell claims you can't criticize him, otherwise you'll be headed towards unbelief and live a barren life. In this conversation with Mark Driscoll, after kicking him off stage, there was not ONE MENTION of the former male stripper that they had performing at the Stronger Men's Conference.

f you marry badly — or marry at all, when it isn’t for you — don’t assume the damage is recoverable. If you make the wrong career choice, and realise it as early as age 30, don’t count on a way back. Even the decision to go down a science track at school, when the humanities turn out to be your bag, can mangle a life. None of these errors need consign a person to eternal and acute distress. But life is path-dependent: each mistake narrows the next round of choices. A big one, or just an early one, can foreclose all hope of the life you wanted.

True that - but often people today, particularly the young, are paralyzed by a behavior labeled F.O.M.O. = fear of missing out. So they defer marriage or children, or religious vocation, or conversion to later, so they can experience all options open. This 'tyranny of choice' keeps them from making any life commitments at all. Hence the feeling of giving up that permeates the Western world.

In the 80s I had a set Bishop Sheen cassettes that I would pop in the cassette player of my car when I drove to and from work, 140 mile round trip. It was great and Bishop Sheen's voice sounded as though he was right there in the passenger seat. I used to play them on occasion for the CCD classes I taught. Do they still distribute/sell his magnificent sermons?

After Eight Months: Cardinal Sako Returns to Baghdad

The head of the Chaldean Church in Iraq, Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphaël Sako, announced on 10th April that he had returned to his headquarters in Baghdad.
He left Baghdad in August 2023 after President Abdul Latif Rashid, a Sunni Kurd, withdrew state recognition of Mgr. Sako as head of the church and spent eight months in exile in Erbil, Kurdistan.
Mgr. Sako returned at the personal invitation of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, a Shia Muslim from Baghdad.
The patriarch praised the invitation as "a first step in a journey of a thousand miles". Sako remains troubled by the Iraqi president's actions and continues to seek the recognition he has been deprived of.

Cardinal Robert Sarah, one of the leading cardinals in terms of intelligence and integrity, praised the bishops of Cameroon for their "courageous and prophetic" 21 December statement against Francis' homosexual pseudo-blessings.
"You have done a work of pastoral charity by pointing out the truth," he said. The cardinal is currently visiting Cameroon, where he gave a programmatic speech on 9 April at the Episcopal Conference headquarters in Mvolyé, published on Diakonos.be.
It is "wrong and ridiculous" for "some people in the West" [including Francis] to claim that the Cameroonian bishops acted in the name of some "cultural particularism", Sarah clarified. They have claimed, "in a logic of intellectual neo-colonialism", that Africans are "not yet" ready to "bless" sin "for cultural reasons", he said: "As if the West had a head start over backward Africans."
In reality, the bishops in Africa are acting "in the name of the one Lord, the one faith of the Church", Sarah explained: "Since when …More
