@PONTIFEXCELLENT: “Nuns Are Grrreat!

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

"Think what would happen if there weren't any sisters, if there weren't any sisters in the hospitals, no sisters in the missions, no sisters in the schools. Think what the church would be like without sisters -- no, that's unthinkable." — Pope Francis Read more

Philip Seymour Hoffman: Lord Rest His Soul

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

Perhaps the finest actor of my generation (IMHO), the Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead today in his New York City apartment. Goddammit. Addiction is an awful disease. My heart, and those of millions of other fans and those who knew and loved him best, felt shattered upon hearing the unexpected and tragic news. As we mourn his death and celebrate his life, may we remember him in our prayers and especially lift up his children, Cooper, Tallulah,... Read more

On Justin Bieber’s Annus Horribilis : My Interview with Joshua DuBois

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

We have the responsibility to be kind to one another, and that responsibility extends to celebrities, too. We’re the ones who placed them on their teetering pedestals. Justin didn’t ascend his without our help. So when they tumble off, the fact that we cheer and sneer is awful, hypocritical, and deeply, sometimes savagely unkind. Read more

On Justin Bieber’s Arrest in Miami Beach

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

I have been turning down interview requests for months because I have had nothing constructive to say. But I do now. And it starts with an apology to Justin for being a part of the media pressure that contributed to his arrival at this troubling, scary, and sad place. Justin, I am sorry. Please forgive me.

@PONTIFEXCELLENT: La Leche Edition

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

During a special ceremony in the Sistine Chapel on Sunday where he baptized 32 infants, Papa Frank told the mothers present to go ahead and breastfeed their babies if the children were hungry. Right there. In the chapel. Under the Michaelangelos. In front of God and everybody. Read more

@PONTIFEXCELLENT: A Hitchhiker’s Guide

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

Seeing his friend from Argentina, the pope didn't just wave or blow a kiss. Instead, he broke with Vatican protocol in a big way by stopping the Popemobile and motioning for Baez to join him in the car as he road through the square. It makes me want to send Papa Frank a bumper sticker for the popemobile: Will Stop for Homies. (Se Detendrá para Los Homies) Read more
