Leaving Mass Early
Jeffrey Tucker at the New Liturgical Movement blog has a nice piece on the unfortunate practice many Catholics have of leaving Mass early. It's worth taking a look.

The Cardinals of St. Louis
There have been 10 archbishops of St. Louis. But, only 3 of these shepherds of the "Rome of the West" have been elevated to cardinal. No archbishop of St. Louis since 1979 has been raised to the sacred purple. However, Justin Rigali who was archbishop of St. Louis from 1993-2004 went on to become archbishop of Philadelphia and a cardinal. His successor, Raymond Burke, is currently serving as the Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome and will almost certainly be created cardinal at the next consistory.

The Cardinals of Baltimore
While Baltimore is the oldest diocese in the United States and, therefore, the primatial or "premier" see only 3 of its 15 archbishops have been named cardinals of the Holy Roman Church. The first of those three, Cardinal Gibbons, used two distinct coats of arms inexplicably changing his coat of arms in the middle of his tenure.

For The 27th Time...

The New York Yankees are the World Champions!
And not only did Philadelphia give up the world championship...
And not only did Philadelphia lose...
And not only did they lose in the Bronx...
Now that they are LOSERS all that is left is the worst part of all: They have to go back to Philadelphia!
Being a loser in Philadelphia. Isn't that redundant?
