Last updated on: October 14, 2009 at 5:48 am By Pat McNamara

Today marks the death of America’s favorite crooner (and movie priest), Bing Crosby (1903-1977). Born Harry Lillis Crosby in Tacoma, Washington, he grew up in Spokane. There he received eight years of Jesuit education, at Gonzaga High School and Conzaga University.

Quote of the Day

Last updated on: October 12, 2009 at 12:13 am By Pat McNamara

Founded on immutable and universal principles, the Church can never grow old or obsolete, but is the Church for all times and places, for all ranks and conditions of men. Man cannot change either the Church or the dogmas of faith, for they are founded in the highest reality, which is above him, over him, and independent of him.Orestes A. Brownson, The American Republic Read more

Christopher Columbus and American Catholicism

Last updated on: October 12, 2009 at 12:08 am By Pat McNamara
