I know that I'm not the first source you come to for information in the parish.
But just in case you missed him, there's a new blogger in town. He is definitely worth the visit.

A Saintly Salmagundi addresses the secret vice of our bishops and the problem of Americanism in the Church

His entire blog is well worth the read.
