...behalf of the church? I have a lot of friends from other religions who disagree strongly with some of the tenets of their professed faith. It's strange that every Mormon is assumed to embrace every point of doctrine. Maybe it says something about the high standards that people expect from us. But somehow, I don't think Romney's critics intend it as a compliment. Seth Bailey, COLOMBO, SRI LANKA...
Star Wars party in history, Celebration IV. The event, only the fourth official Star Wars fan gathering ever, marks 30 years since a fictional galaxy far, far away burst into our cultural consciousness and gave grown men an excuse to hang onto their toy collections. By Memorial Day, organizers expect more than 25,000 would-be Wookiees and stormtroopers to have joined the party...

They do, and a Holy Father only invokes his own infallibility when he is laying out incontrovertible Church doctrine. Still, the Pope is not expected to err, and the faithful are not accustomed to hearing him publicly correct his own missteps. And certainly Benedict XVI, a man of rock-solid (some might say stubborn) convictions, would be the last person you would expect to waffle or backtrack on his key pronouncements. Which is why perhaps the most troubling pattern of his reign is Benedict's notable...
