1. Schadenfreude alert! Homosexual activists are annoyed with the 95+% pro-"gay" President-elect because -- horrors! -- he's chosen a religious leader who supported Prop 8 to offer the invocation at his inauguration. Rev. Warren is also pro-life, too, so I can't wait for the pro-abortion types to chime in. Sorry, I can't help it. Snicker, snicker, snicker.
2. It's very handy when dissident priests and nuns sign open letters protesting things, because it helps identify them so we know who we're dealing with. Here, a group of religious sisters express their opposition to the excommunication of Fr. Roy Bourgeois, MM (you remember, he openly advocated the ordination of women and participated in a sacriligious "Mass"). You have to love that they call excommunication "medieval" -- perhaps it's been a while since they cracked open a Bible and read Mt. 18:17, 1 Cor. 5:1-5, 1 Tim. 1:20, and Titus 3:10, not to mention the consistent practice of the ancient Church. I seem to remember someone famous who insisted "I will not serve". Not the best role model.
3. Sen. Sam Brownback, a solid Catholic pro-lifer, is retiring from the Senate, and will probably run for Governor of Kansas. Getting ready for a presidential run, we hope?
4. Unborn children can now have their movements posted to Twitter, thanks to the "Kickabee". From Twitter, it's just a short step to actual blogging, and surely life must begin at the moment of your first blog post.
5. Putting it all in perspective as usual, Benedict XVI, in his last general audience of 2008, reminds us that Christmas is an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of our existence.
