Fr. Glenn: Habemus Papam! Well … Pretty Soon

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

My, my … rather a busy news week with Pope Francis passing away early Easter Monday. We who are older remember when Pope Paul VI died, and then John Paul I was elected—living only 33 days to the shock of the world. Then Pope John Paul II was elected and held his office for over 26 years. So, then we had two papal elections in the space of a couple of months.

No one wants to mess with a croc, but many people will seize the opportunity to view one up close, particularly within its natural habitat.

Prior to my trip to Botswana, I had only seen these primordial creatures in enclosed nature centers, where I felt removed from them. So, when the boat Read More

Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, begins this evening with a minute-long siren, when the whole of Israel comes to a halt and the nation pauses to remember the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

This year, this day of mourning and reflection takes place in the shadow of the shocking, worldwide recrudescence of antisemitism.
