“From Contract to Covenant”: What was valid yesterday is “invalid” today?

Posted in Religion

I’m rather suspicious of the idea, presented in this Catholic Exchange article, that the glory of Vatican II’s marital theology was its rescinding a contractual model in favor of a “covenantal” one — and, consequently, the advancement of the notion of “partnership” in place of a hierarchy which is clearly delineated in the passages from [...]

The Pope’s OK

Posted in Religion

So we got a dress-rehearsal yesterday. Pope John Paul II rushed to a hospital after suffering from the flu for several days: this on top of his being nearly 85 years old, in declining health, susceptible to freak injuries, and thus slowing physical momentum, for over 10 years now.

What Bush really thinks of principled Christians

Posted in Religion

I have the understanding that columnist Robert Novak is what’s called a “neo-conservative,” but his work this morning deserves much attention (and has already gotten some from Open Book, whence I found this): pointing out the White House snub of visiting Italian dignitary Rocco Buttiglione, whose nomination to serve as Justice Minister in the European [...]
