Video: Father Corapi on the Notre Dame Scandal

This is a few days old, but it is so good to hear Father Corapi’s voice and to see him recovered from illness. I especially like his hairstyle and beard combo. If I didn’t have such full, lustrous hair, I might do the same.

Somewhere between Really and Uber, I Guess

I will leave it to you to decide which one is closer.

Via the monsoon, a funny list of Catholic indicators.  The Mark Shea one is spot on, but no uber Catholic would buy the Steubenville one:

Thine Eyes and the National March for Life

We all know that the mainstream media coverage of the national March for Life is hopelessly skewed against Pro-lifers, with the crowd sizes routinely and intentionally understated.

In a worthy effort, a crew of pro-lifers made a movie about the March, which is previewed in the video above.  Even the clip is remarkable for showing the immense support for the pro-life movement.  There is a website with more information, called Thine Eyes.

Check it out.  These don’t appear to be “Catholic Taliban”, as one commenter on the Verastegui post used the phrase.
