Eugene Cullen Kennedy Says Reform of the Reform is So Non-Space Age…Or Something

April 11, 2012 – 11:17 am

Prophets of doom prophesize doom fairly inaccurately. In fact, one could argue that prophets of doom have a 100 percent failure rate (at least so far.)

November 3, 2011 – 11:11 am

In what has to be one of most outrageous anti-Catholic headlines in weeks, USA Today ran a piece entitled “Catholic Students Struggle with ‘Outdated’ and ‘Inflexible” Traditions.” Of course, the “outdated and inflexible” verbiage is pulled from a quote from a student in the story but dragging it up to the headline is an editorial [...]
