GAUDIUM ET SPES

By Fr. Wilson ( articles ) | Apr 29, 2004

Despite the dire tones of the doomsday prophets here and elsewhere who often seem fixated on the notion that Church and State are both going to hell in a handbasket, there actually are signs of the prophesied Renewal. A wave of Eucharistic piety is sweeping the ranks of the Congress of the United States.

I understand Ted Kennedy is going to introduce a bill designating St Peter Julian Eymard as patron saint of Congress (although I am cynically wondering if he's just trying to thwart the chances of Dominic Savio).
