Vatican
Tomorrow morning the exhibit "John Paul II: Homage of Benedict XVI for the Beatification" will open in the Charlemagne Wing of Bernini's colonnades around St. Peter's Square and remain open until 24 July.
The exhibition, organized by the Governorate of the Vatican City State in collaboration with the Polish Embassy to the Holy See and the Polish Culture and Heritage Ministry, is divided into 15 sections illustrating the life and pontificate of Karol Wojtyla, from his infancy and childhood in Wadowice to the last stage of his life and solemn funeral on 8 April 2005. With a wealth of detail it presents all the moments and aspects of the life of the newly beatified pope.

Chicago: Fr Pfleger Suspended

The more important story here is not Fr. Pfleger's public reprimand but the fact that the reprimand was made at all. The recent history of the Catholic Church shows that these kinds of very visible sanctions occur very infrequently even when the individuals involved have damaged the Church far more than this silly priest from the South Side of Chicago,

I don't agree with the following “puff piece” concerning Fr, Pfleger (more community organizer than Roman Catholic priest.). It is clearly an open criticism of the Church with complaints about the lack of “women priests” and a married priesthood to follow. . Nevertheless, the writer does make several thoughtful points.
