In their remarks at the annual fundraising event, however, John McCain and Barack Obama did inject some welcome humor into the final days of this year’s presidential campaign.
The consensus of Catholic bloggers as to which candidate appeared to have the better stand-up comedy... READ MORE

‘We Come to It at Last’
Saturday, November 08, 2008 4:31 AM
Here’s Gandalf with an alternate take on the election results, as regards the right-to-life battle.

Maria Shriver, wife of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, isn’t shy about the fact that she’s a dissenting Catholic.
And the Kennedy family member isn’t apologetic about it either.
“I have a dispute with a lot in the Catholic Church,” a smiling Shriver says in this Nov. 14 interview with The Washington Post’s Sally Quinn. The video recording of the interview, which is posted... READ MORE

Friday, November 21, 2008 2:05 PM
