It seems what was once a fine and developing art form&#8211;cinema&#8211;has suffered a coup d&#8217;etat by the comic book folks. I recall a meeting I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the universal practices of humanity around the world in ancient times is the ritual of sacrifice. The reasons and methods of sacrifice are complex and varied, but what remains is that in virtually every religion in every part of the world in one way or another a sacrifice was offered. Sometimes the sacrifice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[St Barnabas was first called Joses, but because of his positive, energetic and generous nature he was given the new name &#8220;Son of Consolation&#8221; or &#8220;Son of Encouragement.&#8221; So today on his feast day why not stop and ask yourself how much encouragement you do of others?

		<description><![CDATA[Here is an article by my friend Mark Shea in which he apologizes for being nasty to people. I appreciate Mark&#8217;s public contrition. However, I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s necessary. Here&#8217;s why: plenty of us like the argumentative style. We appreciate the heat under Mark&#8217;s collar, and the passion with which he argues. His blog has [...]]]></description>

The tweet elicited a reply from an atheist saying, &#8220;All religions are man made. Otherwise, why are there so many of them?&#8221; It raises a good question. To [...]]]></description>
