Thoughts for Reflection

The Future Sainthood of Benedict XVI

First, I will make a prediction. One day-within the next century-Benedict XVI will be declared a saint. Precisely how soon this will happen is uncertain, and it depends on whether the normal twenty-five year waiting period is retained before his cause can be introduced. But it will happen.

Pope. Healer. Thinker.

Don't Say a Eulogy at My Funeral

Modern Catholic funerals can look a lot like Protestant variants. At first glance, that might not seem like a problem, but upon scrutiny, the profound disservice that is being done to the dead becomes clear. Imagine attending a Catholic funeral. The pews are full, attesting to how the deceased had clearly reached a great number of people.
