By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - ....when we say that an institution is thoroughly corrupt, we do not necessarily mean that the corruption extends to every member of the institution. I used his insight in a comment on corruption in the Catholic hierarchy: In a corrupt police department—as seen in countless action movies—the problem is not simply that some cops take bribes from criminals. The problem is that honest cops cannot clean up the force, because whenever they report one venal colleague, they run into a superior who is also on the Mafia payroll, and will suppress the evidence

By Rick Becker, National Catholic Register - As usual, I’m late to a 7 a.m. weekday Mass, and I sneak into the last pew for the Gospel. It’s the one about God knowing every sparrow and counting all our hairs. I figure he must know, then, that I intended to get to church on time. “The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.” I yawn.
