Snowbound...

...at home, and busy at the computer, interrupted only by a splendid snowball fight and building of a fine snowman with the neighbouring children...

Main Catholic news is still the fallout from the Lefebvrist business. I've had some dotty stuff sent to me ("It's now clear: they won't have to accept Vatican II - the Agreement Is To be Signed Today!!") sane analysis of situation can be read here.

The site you direct your readers to for objective explication is a shall we say "left" newspaper, columnists for which have argued for decades with Church teaching.
On the whole, the NCR did not support the elevation of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger to the Papacy and has been fault-finding ever since.
The NCR consistently takes positions and strikes attitudes- via articles and columnists - contrary to matters that are important to you, Auntie Joanna. For example, on woman priests, homosexual marriage, reverent liturgy, faithfulness to Tradition, continuity rather than rupture.
Just a word of caution. Thanks.

I am well aware of the stance generally taken by the NCR, which is why I found this particular feature so refreshing and interesting.

Our Pope Joesph Razinger has the back bone to speak his mind. We all know he is right and that his views are correct he speaks for Our God.I believe Auntie Joanna will accept views from all.anyone is welcome to her site.Hence discussion can prevail, and answer will come through. Her thoughts and other who contribute. "Yes just like Me". May help people find the "Something" they so look for in this are rushed an modern life.

I noticed you, I think, among the pilgrims at this morning's General Audience. I hope you are enjoying Rome.

I'm sure I saw you at the General Audience this morning! I hope you'll tell us all about it. I know you because I watch EWTN almost exclusively, with a little BBC2 thrown in!
Just joined Google, so I can now comment on your blog, which I like very much.
