Bishop Geoff Robinson on US network television…

Dear Friends,

BISHOP ROBINSON ON U.S. ABCTV: I placed links on our forum early this morning to two segments on ABC TV (America) where you can view an extended interview with Bishop Geoffrey Robinson. Go to the forum to get the links. This is really refreshing stuff. I also urge readers to watch the second part of the interview which contains a fascinating exchange on the issue of Papal Infallibility between Bishop Robinson and Richard Gaillardetz, Professor of Catholic Studies at the University of Toledo. <Check out the links in our forum HERE>

WEDNESDAY FORUM: For our lead commentary today we conclude our series of Wednesday Forums revisiting a series of posts we published last year by Dr Patrick Collins looking at The Spirituality of Thomas Merton. The question I pose in the starter post for the discussion is how important is the simple act of contemplation or meditation in that whole mix of the practice of our faith? <Join the conversation HERE>

Finally, it is pleasing to see that Catholica is certainly causing a great stir on the more prominent conservative blog sites around this nation. The poor lads and lassies are almost out of their trees about what they constantly see being discussed on Catholica. Shucks, folks, there might be a bit of vibracy returning to the institution in this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit after all these decades where the agenda has been set by the lads and lassies who constantly want to give us "more of the same" formulas that have been driving everyone out of the pews for at least one century, and more than probably two.

Best wishes for a great day wherever you happen to be ... in life or in our world!
