...Seconds to Mars "From Yesterday" Dir. Bartholomew Cubbins If music videos teach you one thing and one thing only, let it be this: never follow a man wearing impeccable eyeliner. 30 Seconds to Mars’ “From Yesterday” places thoroughly made-up Jared Leto and his three companions in ancient China, complete with a child emperor and a non-sequitur samurai. There’s some plot about time travel and lost love and a treasure map, but it’s only a weak set up for some amazingly incongruous scenes: four pale...
After noting that she embarked on a quest to piece together the mysterious past of her diplomat father Paul and his Ph.D. advisor Bartholomew Rossi, our historian eerily asserts: “we all found ourselves on one of the darkest pathways into history.

Patriarch Bartholomew I echoed the good will, citing "the unwavering journey toward the restoration of full communion among our churches." He even called the Pope "our brother, and bishop of the elder Rome." Their joint declaration touched on two of Benedict's favorite themes: secularization and the Christian roots of Europe...
...Thursday at the Phanar, the headquarters of the Patriarch of Constantinople, was yet another sign of how little actually stands between the Churches' spiritual unification. Afterwards, the Pope and the Patriarch appeared on a balcony overlooking a courtyard and joined hands and raised them, with the more gregarious Bartholomew triumphantly pumping the interlocked hands toward the worshipers below. The crowd of mostly Orthodox applauded in yet another sign of the diffused desire for unity...
