If you’re old enough to remember Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the telegenic Catholic evangelist from the 1930s to the 1960s, you may be interested that a Vatican panel of medical experts has OK’d a miracle that could inch Sheen along the path to sainthood. A family prayed to Sheen for help after their son was born and his heart didn’t start beating until an hour later.
Patmos is the Island in which the greatest vision of God’s ultimate divine wrath and anger being poured out in ways never before seen or experienced on the entire earth takes place. The terrible day when all of humanity is faced with extreme tragedy, from unprecedented natural disasters to the horrendous and corrupt acts caused by human beings, devils, and Satan himself. LINK
Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama will lead the traditional opening prayer Thursday morning in the U.S. Senate.

“God warns us against a giant cataclysm that could begin in Russia and Ukraine?” this news commentary ponders. “It is not excluded.” And so it is something for us all to consider, whether or not the crisis immediately becomes a full-blown one. LINK

Record numbers of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll support gay marriage, say adoption by gay couples should be legal and see gays and lesbians as good parents. Most oppose a right to refuse service to gays, including on religious grounds. And, by a closer margin, more also accept than reject gay marriage as a constitutional right. LINK

The magazine, whose name translates to “My Pope,” will go heavy on photography and colorful layouts, according to a news release from publisher Mondadori. It’s the first magazine entirely devoted to just one pontiff.

And the price hike is not because US mothers-to-be are getting better or more high-tech care; the US actually has one of the highest rates of infant and maternal death in the developed world. It’s because of the unique way health care in America is billed: item by item. LINK
