...pastor and servant of Jesus Christ, I had a strong response to the exposé. It is unbelievable that the Roman Catholic Church would not respect Teresa's wishes to keep her struggles confidential. In my 30 years of serving, I have had many similar crises of faith. They are a normal part of the ministry and reflect the human condition. Those of us who serve the Lord Jesus Christ are not superhuman but are ordinary people living ordinary lives serving an extraordinary Saviour...
...newcomers have largely been welcomed. St. Peter and Paul's Church in Portlaoise is increasing the frequency of its Polish Masses. Last winter, the church hosted an African Mass with Nigerian music and traditional dress.

In West Helena, Ark., he met with home-health-care workers who earn little more than minimum wage from the state department of health-which won't let them work...
...different kind of concert will turn the established image of the country on its head. The date may sound inauspicious to some, but in keeping with its ancient roots, Ethiopia runs by an antiquated calendar, a modified version of the Julian calendar which the heads of the Orthodox Ethiopian church claim is the true count of time since Christ was born. By its reckoning, the 3rd millennium arrives on Sept. 12, 2007 - making Sept. 11 this year New Year...
