Father donates a kidney: 31-year-old Father Jonathan Goertz of St. Timothy Parish in Tappahannock, Richmond Diocese, wished to donate a kidney according to Catholic News Service. He was tested and introduced into the National Living Kidney Register. They found a match in his own parish: 60-year-old Bruce McComb. In 2002, he had received a kidney from his wife but his body later rejected it. The night before the surgery, Father Jonathan anointed Mr. McComb. "It's rare that the donor anoints the receiver," Bruce McComb said later.
No Christ: Located between France and Spain, the tiny principality of Andorra wanted to put one of its most celebrated artistic works, the Christ Pantocrator of the Romanic church of Sant Martí de la Cortinada, on its two Euro coin. But, the European Union and the European Central Bank ordered Christ removed from the coin. Now, simply a belltower will remain on the coin. The tiny nation that has a Bishop as one of its heads of State could not resist the orders.
Destruction: Asia News published a list of Christian churches, schools, institutions and shops torched by the Muslim Brotherhood in the last three days. It contains. Six attacks occurred in Minya, Upper Egypt where the Coptic Catholic Church of St. George, St. Mark and the Sacred Heart were burned down. Fire was also responsible for the destruction of the Church of the Jesuits and the Convent and school of St Joseph. The School of the Holy Shepherd was attacked by the insurgents.
Former Catholic Ireland: A poll has found that 58 percent of Irish students describe themselves as Catholic according to the Irish Times. At the same time, only 37.5 percent of students said they believed in God and 83.5 percent want abortion to be permitted in Ireland. Asked whether they attended communal religious ceremonies, 61 percent of the students said, “No” while those who said “Yes” attended a religious service only one to three times a year. Only 13.7 percent followed a religion because of a strong faith. The students regard “looking good” (fifth position) as more important than “religious beliefs” (sixth position).

I think it's possible to "look good" and also be religious. I believe the opposite is also true. The ugliest people I've ever seen are pro-abortion, atheistic, man-hating feminazis.
