<DIV class=email_header>When the News is Good</DIV>
<P>Dear Mr. Kelly,
<P>
<P>This message should have gone out yesterday, and would have, too, had I not <STRONG>forgotten</STRONG> to write it. My excuse is that I was largely caught up in good news. It seemed to start with the Pope's visit to America, and it hasn't stopped. You may enjoy my latest blog entry: <A href="http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/blog.cfm?id=233" target=_blank rel=nofollow>Telling the Good News</A>.<BR><BR>More good news is highlighted in yesterday's Forum piece by Phil Lawler on Trinity's Catholic World News site. It seems that the reception of communion at the US papal Masses by pro-abortion politicians <STRONG>did not go completely unrebuked</STRONG>, at least not in New York: <A href="http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=58113" target=_blank rel=nofollow>Cardinal Egan's Rebuke to Giuliani: Important Subtleties</A>.<BR><BR>It is also good news that <EM>This Rock</EM> magazine, published by the outstanding apologetics apostolate
Catholic Answers, just continues to get better--so much so that we have trouble not clipping too many of its articles. If you don't subscribe, I recommend you correct that oversight at <A href="http://www.catholic.com/magazines/thisrock.asp" target=_blank rel=nofollow>the magazine's web page</A>. Meanwhile, here's another great article, <STRONG>refuting Determinism</STRONG>: <A href="http://www.catholicculture.org/library/view.cfm?recnum=8163" target=_blank rel=nofollow>Determined to Deny Your Freedom</A>.<BR><BR>As you know, we follow the Pope's addresses and writings very carefully at CatholicCulture.org because they embody so much of the Good News. But who else at the Vatican is worth quoting? The Secretary of State, currently <STRONG>Tarcisio Cardinal Bertone</STRONG>, is essentially the second in command in Rome, often appearing at special events the Pope cannot attend. Here are two samples of Cardinal Bertone's recent wisdom:

You may be interested in my take on Paraguay's recent election of a <STRONG>Catholic bishop as President</STRONG>, despite the insistence of the Holy See that he withdraw from the race: <A href="http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/blog.cfm?id=232" target=_blank rel=nofollow>Bishop Fernando Lugo Mendez, President of Paraguay</A>.<BR><BR>Jeff Mirus<BR>President<BR>Trinity Communications
