GODSTUFF: SPIRITED GAME LETS YOU RISE TO POPEDOM The blue baseball cap with a white “P” sat on the table near the six plastic cardinals queued up at the starting square in a corner of the game board. “That’s the pope hat,” declared Carmen Nanko-Fernandez, a professor of pastoral ministry at Catholic Theological Union in Hyde Park. “See?” she said, popping the cap on her head and grinning, “Call me Pope Carmen the First.” Nanko-Fernandez and four of her colleagues...

GODSTUFF: FAITH, DOUBT AND FAIRYGODMOTHERS Cinderella: It’s just no use. I can’t believe. Not anymore. There’s nothing left to believe in. Fairy Godmother: Nothing, my dear? Oh, now you really don’t mean that. Cinderella: Oh, but I do . . . Fairy Godmother: Nonsense, child. If you’d lost all your faith, I couldn’t be here.

GODSTUFF: THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING . . . WELL, EVENTUALLY If poll results released this week are accurate, a quarter of you think it’s at least somewhat likely that Jesus Christ will return to Earth this year.

I happen to know a... Read more
