By Donald DeMarco, National Catholic Register - Our secular world has very low expectations for its citizens... Holiness seems out of reach and therefore unrealistic. “Have a nice day,” “Don’t do drugs,” “Don’t drink and drive” and “Don’t wear white after Labor Day” are today’s moral imperatives. They represent a kind of moral minimalism. Catholics who write and talk about being holy seem to be preaching pie in the sky. But what is left undiscussed remains unknown. Holiness, in truth, is both realistic and achievable. It is well worth promoting.

By Gene Thomas Gomulka, Complicit Clergy - I am writing to reiterate an earlier request that you remove Cardinal Edwin O’Brien’s name from the Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS) USA Headquarters and that you recommend that the U.S. Marine Corps remove Bishop Joseph Estabrook’s name from the chapel at Marine Corps Base Hawaii... As you know, as we discussed in the enclosed correspondence, Cardinal O’Brien grossly underreported the number of abuse cases to the John Jay Study; underreported the amount of money the archdiocese spent on abuse settlements; and covered up and lied about a number of predator priests including John “Matt” Lee.
