	  <description><![CDATA[About this time each year, Vatican-watchers begin speculating as to whether or not the Pope will make a series of personnel changes at the Vatican before he begins his summer vacation. Sometimes there is a spate of announcements; sometimes not. If the changes don&apos;t come soon, there will be another round of speculation at the end of the summer--when, historically, changes are more frequent.]]></description>

The story has been corrected, and the version that appears on our news page now is accurate.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>

      <title>How Culture is Done</title>

	  <description><![CDATA[One of the most important questions with which CatholicCulture.org is supposed to grapple is the question of how to form a Catholic culture. If the answer involves setting forth a specific program, a sure-fire series of steps that will take our current overall culture and make it Catholic, then the &amp;ldquo;right&amp;rdquo; answer simply isn&amp;rsquo;t possible. But if we understand that culture is operative at every conceivable level and in every conceivable circumstance, then we begin to see a fundamental truth about human culture in general, and Catholic culture in particular.]]></description>

	  <description><![CDATA[I mentioned in my Insights message today that the noted Dominican scholar Benedict Ashley apparently keeps up with CatholicCulture.org and kindly sent us some information about the poetry of the Sacred Heart written by Mechtilde of Magdeburg in the thirteenth century. You can find information about this in the 13th century section of the history of the Dominicans on Fr. Ashley&amp;rsquo;s web site.]]></description>

      <title>A Significant USCCB Self-Correction</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/blog.cfm?id=427</guid>

	  <description><![CDATA[Last Thursday&amp;rsquo;s publication of &amp;ldquo;A Note on Ambiguities Contained in Reflections on Covenant and Mission&amp;rdquo; marks a very significant step in the renewal of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The &amp;ldquo;Note&amp;rdquo; clarified the doctrinal ambiguities in an ecumenical statement on Catholic-Jewish relations issued under Cardinal William Keeler back in 2002. For several years, Cardinal Keeler had served as the USCCB Moderator for Catholic-Jewish Relations, overseeing among other things an ongoing dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Jewish community in the United States.]]></description>

	  <description><![CDATA[&amp;nbsp;Yesterday we carried a news story about the statement by COMECE-- the umbrella group representing episcopal conferences of the European Union-- announcing that &amp;quot;climate change has become a question of survival.&amp;quot; This is not an authoritative statement, of course. But it will be interpreted as an official statement of the Catholic hierarchy, endorsing a scientific proposition that is still under debate.]]></description>

      <title>Why Be Catholic? 6: Divine Intimacy</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/blog.cfm?id=425</guid>

	  <description><![CDATA[Among all the concepts of God the world has known, only one draws the believer into the most profound intimacy of love. This intimacy is completely dependent upon the unique way in which the Christian God interacts in its three persons, and in which the Catholic God interacts with men. I refer, of course, to the doctrine of the Trinity and its wonderful relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary, leading to the Incarnation of the Son who accomplishes our Redemption through a completely self-sacrificial love.]]></description>

      <title>How the New Missal is Being Translated, and Why</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/blog.cfm?id=424</guid>

	  <description><![CDATA[Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson (New Jersey) is the chairman of the US Bishops&amp;rsquo; Committee on Divine Worship. Last October he addressed the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions on the significance and goals of the revision of the Roman Missal, currently in progress. The revision is proceeding according to the principles set forth in 2001 in Liturgiam authenticam, an instruction of the Holy See which replaced the document in force since 1969, Comme le Pr&amp;eacute;voit, now regarded as seriously flawed.]]></description>

	  <description><![CDATA[&amp;nbsp;In February, Bishop William Morris of Toowomba, in Australia, announced that he had no intention of backing off his contention that the Catholic Church should re-open discussion about the possibility of ordaining women as priests. He would &amp;quot;continue to fight for what I believe is the truth,&amp;quot; he insisted, no matter what the &amp;quot;temple police&amp;quot; might say. Just a few days later Bishop Morris felt compelled to say that he wasn&apos;t worried that the Vatican would remove him from his episcopal assignment.&amp;nbsp;]]></description>
