Thanks for the interesting post. The pictures of the basilica were simply amazing. It was also fascinating to find out where you got baptized. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

congratulations on his trip to Rome and the report made through this interesting post.

Rome is certainly a key to who is Catholic, a little ‘as the holy land.

Congratulations also to the wonderful photos of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican.

What a wonderful, interesting, and personal way to stay in touch with your Boston flock. Chicago is going to have to get “up to speed” on technology. My son’s high school, Loyola Academy, is going to Rome in June and I think a trip blog may be a great way for them to document their experiences.

All the best,

I thought this weeks blog was great! You are so lucky you got to visit Rome I would love to! Also last week the 7th and 8th grade students at St. Pauls School went to the National Shrine in Washington, its architecture was all made of marble it was beautiful. Can’t wait for the next blog.

I was very interested to know where you got baptized! Your pictures are very sacred and beautiful. They represent a lot. I am looking forward to your next blog! I am so glad our class has this opportunity to learn more about the religious life and see blessed pictures. Please visit sometime!

As always, a wonderful blog this week. I Think that the men and women’s conference on April 18 will be a very moving experience for every person present. It seems like a wonderful place to go to feel even closer to God by asking for his forgiveness or just being there with others praising him with strong prayers. I hope that everyone who appears at that conference with come out a more spiritual and holy person than before, and have an even stronger faith with God.

I am Albert Cendikiawan. I am a doctor in Indonesia. It is the first time for me to read your blog, that i found very interesting, esp the photos. I believe there is no coincidence in this world as i read your blog tonight for my surprise, you have visited the headquarter of order of malta in Via dei Condotti and met the grand general. i have a wish to join the order of malta as volunteer for their humanitarian work. but there is no their representative in Indonesia. I have sent emails to them twice but they weren’t replied. can you help me? may the blessing of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

We don’t need a National Ethics Board to tell us that it is wrong for Christians to provide or contract to provide abortion, sterilization, contraception, or other so-called reproductive health services.

We do not need an Ethics Board to tell us that it is wrong to make us, as citizens of the Commonwealth, to pay for others to receive these services through our tax dollars, much less at the hands of a so-called Catholic Health Service!!

YOU should say it’s wrong. YOU are the bishop.
