From the Hanc Aquam blog comes this sad report.
The Prioress of the Adrian Dominicans writes:
“As of now, the five elderly sisters who have been holding down the Motherhouse are choosing to remain there because they do not want to lose their Motherhouse to the terrorists. She said most Christians are making plans to evacuate from Iraq and, as a consequence, she does not know what will happen with... READ MORE
That Useless Old Internet
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 2:00 PM
I was amused recently to read a 1995 Newsweek column by Clifford Stoll, in which he predicts the demise of that useless old internet thing.

I’ve been a Sarah Bauer groupie for years. My love for her music grew... READ MORE

I wasn’t planning to, but then there they were. And there I was. And I watched.
I like pretty dresses and flashy jewelry and seeing movie stars playing themselves in real life. I take comfort in knowing I’m not the only Catholic woman who pays attention to such frivolous stuff.
By the time it was nearly midnight, though, I was beginning to question my decision to commit to... READ MORE
