The Daily Telegraph reported last week that the Knights Templar, or at least a group that claims to be the heirs of the Knights Templar, had sued Pope Benedict XVI. The lawsuit, filed by the Association of the Sovereign Order of the Temple of Christ, alleges that the Catholic hierarchy wrongly persecuted the group

I meant to highlight this post by Dr. Mohler last week on the Holy Father's visit for my protestant hommies. I obviously disagree with many of Dr. Mohler's theological views, but I've

The Vatican and Pope Benedict XVI remain miffed with a number of American Catholic universities and colleges that they perceive as not
effectively toeing church doctrine. It is expected that during his April visit to Washington, D.C., Benedict will lash out at allegedly wayward universities. The Washington Post
