That was one of several observations brought back to Denver by Archbishop J .

The archbishop, in his role as chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Ecumenical and Inter­ religious Affairs, accompanied the 10-member NCC delegation to the Vatican April 10-14. In a press conference upon his return April 17, Archbishop Stafford termed the visit of the NCC team "a very historic trip" in that it was only the second time an NCC delegation had officially visited the Holy See.

  • During Lent, There Will Be No Burger with My Fries,Video: Pilgrims Leave
    During Lent, there will be no burger with my fries By Matt Palmer [email protected] Go big or go home, right? Lent is about sacrifice and walking in the journey with Jesus. People all across the globe will start the season with Ash Wednesday Mass and try to come up with something they are giving up for 40 days. A year ago, I gave up sodas, no small feat for a guy who drinks Cherry Cokes like they’re water. This year, I’m pulling out the big gun. I’ve giving up … wait for it … hamburgers. Stop laughing. Seriously, pick yourself up off the ground and breathe. Giving up burgers is a big deal to a picky eater like myself. The way I see it, great burgers are an art form, taken for granted like a 1980s Hall and Oates song – always a reliable hit. As a reporter, I’m constantly on the run and getting a drive-thru burger is an easy fallback. As a regular guy, I look at a restaurant menu of what other people see as a display of delicious food and wonder what the hamburger tastes like. More often than not, someone says, “Like a burger.” And I respond, “Awesome. I’ll get that.” Sometimes I get an itch and just run out and a buy a burger. It’s really that bad. Of course, I like making burgers on the grill, too. It gives me that boost of feeling extra manly about my burger addiction. Lenten Fridays have always been tough for me.

Conservatives, Liberals, and American Political Culture Since 1945 Abstract [Excerpt] From the perspective of the early twenty‑first century, we can chide the good professor for not carefully considering the consequences of what he wished for half a century ago. For it is clear that the force of this conservative movement in America was in fact “stronger than most of us [knew]” or could have imagined in 1950, or, indeed, in 1968. This conservative “impulse”, those “irritable mental gestures”, has largely restructured American political thinking with a force and popular approval that remains stunning to consider.

  • Pilgrimage for Cardinal-Designate O'brien's Elevation to the College Of
    Pilgrimage for Cardinal-Designate O’Brien’s Elevation to the College of Cardinals A pilgrimage to the Vatican has been organized for Catholics from the Archdiocese of Baltimore and others of good will interested in attending the February 18 consistory during which Cardinal-designate Edwin F. O’Brien, Pro Grand Master of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem and Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, will be elevated to the College of Cardinals. Pope Benedict XVI named the Archbishop a Cardinal on January 6, 2012. Cardinals serve as advisors to the Pope and are eligible to vote in a Papal election until their 80th birthday. The pilgrimage is being organized by Peter’s Way Tours Inc. (800-225-7662 ext.14) and includes flights, hotels, and access to the Consistory ceremony and an audience with Pope Benedict XVI. Three options are available: February 14-21, February 15-21 and February 16-21. A brochure with details is online at www.archbalt.org. On Saturday, February 18, Pope Benedict XVI will create the 22 new cardinals. During a ceremony at St. Peter’s Basilica, he will give each a traditional scarlet biretta (a square hat with three ridges), a ring, and assign each his titular church in Rome. As he places the red hat on each new cardinal’s head, the Holy Father says, “Receive this red hat as a sign of the dignity of the office of a cardinal, signifying that you are ready to act with fortitude, even to the point of spilling your blood for the increase of the Christian faith, for peace and harmony among the people of God, for freedom and the spread of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.” On Sunday, February 19, the Holy Father will celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving with the new cardinals at St.
