I picked up my daily WaPo this morning, and saw the article on the "American reaction". Since I don't drink caffeine any more, I figured I needed something to make my blood pressure to increase a few notches - so I read it.

Later, my wife had to pick me off the floor as I muttered "I can't believe they quoted Mark Shea instead of Richard McBrien...I can't believe they quoted Mark Shea instead of Richard McBrien..."

I'm still not sure if I believe it.

Give it up Mark - quicker to change the name of the blog than wait for a correction.

Congrats on all the exposure! [Hope it it provides some benefit to your family needs.]

God bless!

WOW! Mark you were quoted in an actual real newspaper, unlike the local birdcage dropping collectors in you vicinity. Congratulations!

Our hometown paper picked up the Post story. Congratualtions.

and with "St." Sister Jeannine too.

I would like to remind the media that Mark is loving being a Catholic

This is cool - from Spero News:

"As reported, The Global Language Tracking Monitor said funeral coverage surpassed anything seen before - 100,000 media stories world-wide and 12 million internet citations - eclipsing the death of Princess Diana, Ronald Reagan, 9/11, the Southeast December 26th Tsunami and the re-election of George. W. Bush."

What an incredible evangelization opportunity! What work the Holy Spirit is doing in the hearts of millions - unknown and unseen by us. A reality about which both John Paul the Great and our new Holy Father are rejoicing, no doubt.
