Head on over to our sister site, NCRegister.com, for a series of posts on what they talked about. Our publisher, Fr. Owen Kearns, LC was present (you can see him in the foreground of this photo).

Public Immorality

If you follow the news at all, you can’t have missed the fact that South Carolina governor Mark Sanford has been in the headlines a lot this week.
Now, this is not the kind of blog where we hash over politicians’ extramarital affairs. And I’m not going to do that, I promise. The most I will say about Governor Sanford specifically is that I think we should pray for him and his family.
But speaking... READ MORE
RIP Michael Jackson & Farrah Fawcett
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Thursday, June 25, 2009 6:52 PM
After reading earlier today that actress Farrah Fawcett had died after a battle with cancer, I was shocked to read just moments ago that Michael Jackson, age 50, has also died today—apparently of heart failure.

Obama To Meet Benedict
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 3:00 PM
President Obama and His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI are scheduled to meet for the first time on July 10th.
This is historic because one is a charismatic leader whose followers believe he was chosen by God, and the other is Pope Benedict.
Now…don’t get angry with me you Obama fans! A very Liberal friend of mine who writes for a Hollywood comedian sent me his latest line—and of course I had to share.

Married With the Swine Flu
Posted by Arwen Mosher in News on Friday, June 19, 2009 10:53 PM
Due to our family’s circumstances this past winter, I’ve thought about illness a lot more than usual. How to get through it, how to avoid it… and how much to adjust our lives in order to deal with and avoid it.
I tend to be one of those people who likes to drop everything and hole up at home when our family is sick. But that’s not always possible, or practical.
Today I came across this story of... READ MORE
