From The Daily Caller: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told a friendly audience in California that religious belief does not compromise the work of the courts, and he expressed regret that religion featured prominently in a 2017 judicial confirmation.

It was a busy and eventful Palm Sunday in Queens — and it started yesterday, with a procession at the 5 p.m. vigil Mass that began with the Gospel reading and blessing of palms at the rectory’s front door. There was a great turnout — helped immensely by the gorgeous warm spring weather. The festivities continued, of course, on Sunday.

Cardinal: Maybe It’s Time to Stop Calling Priests ‘Father’

Last updated on: April 14, 2019 at 7:42 am By Deacon Greg Kandra

Cardinal John Dew of New Zealand wrote a letter to his flock earlier this month: Being called “Father” may seem important to some priests, but is it really that important? What is more important is that we live and act in such a way that we treat one another as the daughters and sons of God. Making a choice to tell the people we serve not to call us Father (or for me “Your Eminence” or “Cardinal”) might seem a very... Read more
