In early Christian communities, Easter was the day when, normally, all new Christians were baptized, and it was the deepest spiritual experience most of them would ever have.
This Lent, I am thinking about lengthening the quality and quantity of our days. What would happen, if on the way to Easter, the Church thought about how we could give more days to the most vulnerable among us?
Good Friday is a day that leaves us spinning with questions about the nature of God. Is God's hand in this? Or does this crazy world spin accidentally? How do we know?
This argument assumes God can't transcend our own moral limitations. Just because we may cry for justice and vengeance when we are wronged doesn't mean God will.
Scanning the faces of the multitude assembled, I saw that their countenances were reverential rather than delighted, and deeply moved more than amused; some had tears in their eyes.
In light of Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan's comments directed at the LGBT community, I resigned from the Executive Committee of the Junior Board of Catholic Charities.
For Christians, this is one of the most important weeks of our liturgical calendar. This is the week that we should be contemplating what we never want to contemplate: death.

Cardinal, these are all funny, but if Slide 2 does not make you laugh, you better check your pulse:[See a collection of political cartoons on the Catholic_contraception controversy.]
What is he talking about??? Epic fail and a serious slight to Judaism and the Jewish observance of Passover, His "passing over comment" has nothing to do with Catholicism, or Judaism, with the singular exception that Jesus was celebrating Passover, the Jewish holiday of freedom representing the release of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage, at what he would refer to as the last supper.
