Cardinal Dolan's DNC Closing Prayer

The Diocese of Charlotte says that the major TV networks skipped the coverage of Cardinal Dolan's closing prayer at the Democratic National Convention. How convenient.

Watched it on youtube the next day, like most of the speeches the conventions. A lot can be said about both conventions (see speech by Clint Eastwood versus Scarlett Johansson/Kerry Washington), but Cardinal Dolan's benedictions were wonderful. His DNC prayer seemed more in your face Pro-Life than the Republican one. Bravo! But it was weird how long the camera lingered on Democrats in deep, deep prayer, like the directors were trying to make the point to all who thought otherwise, that Dems pray too. A cynic would say this was a whitewash job, to alleviate the controversy which surrounded the word "God" being left out of the platform. I like to be an optimist and say the controversy and the backlash taught those recalcitrant Democrats that America doesn't like it's leaders or their politics to be divorced completely from the High Power, and they better get down to some serious praying if they plan to win something in November.

Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT 1948-2011

It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr. Pinto's funeral will be tomorrow in India. It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr. Barron about the true nature of Advent, we never know when God will take us home. The media and secular society loves to mock celibacy and the priesthood but it's easy to see that Fr. Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children. To say that he will b...
