Some Catholicish stuff from around the web:
- NCR's John Allen previews next week's meeting of the American bishops, where they are expected to elect Cardinal Francis George as president of the conference (Woo Hoo! let sociology majors everywhere be cheered!).
- Spengler on the Catholic Church as the west's "indispensable institution," featuring an interesting take of Vatican I vs. Vatican II and Catholic theology in general.
- It's a shame that Greg Popcak had to waste precious time rebutting what has to be one of the worst op-eds ever written, but kudos to him for doing it.
