A Very Old One...

I'm going to have to add Higgs-Boson to the parish mailing list after today's news from CERN. After all, we can't have Mass without it...

Sorry. Couldn't resist...

If It Annoys The Liberals...

The new Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has been announced. Bishop Gerhard Müller appears to be a controversial choice, and quite a lot of trad-minded folk seem to view his appointment with suspicion and hostility.

Both the inimitable Fr. Z and His Hermeneuticalness have greeted the news with cautious optimism...

I don't know the ins and outs of the Church politics here. All I know is that Bishop Müller's appointment has upset the "Wir Sind Kirche" lot. That, IMHO can only be A Good Thing...
