...issue emerges as as tearful pilgrims and television crews flocked this week to the friar-saint's final resting place, San Giovanni Rotondo, a kind of Las Vegas-meets-Bethlehem hilltop pilgrimage destination. They were there to see the exhumed corpse of Padre Pio, which had been put on display in a glass casket, with a special silicon mask - beard, bushy eyebrows and all - created by London-based wax museum artisans. Everyone knows what John Paul II felt about Padre Pio. But how can Benedict, the intellectually rigorous theologian, dubbed "the Pope of Reason," sanction such widespread belief in faith...
...very athletic team,” senior co-captain Jessica Knox said. “We knew they had a couple good shooters, but we weren’t expecting them to hit as well as they did tonight.” Heading into the locker room, the Friars shot nearly 45 percent from the field and made half its shots from three-point range.

After Friar sophomore starter Jennifer Maccio got sophomore catcher Hayley Bock to pop up, freshman third baseman Melissa Schellberg singled to left, scoring Brown and reloading the bases...
...Juliet could as easily be seen giving such angst ridden speeches wearing black eyeliner and hanging out at the local mall in modern times. The secondary characters are played to the hilt as well. Lady Capulet (Elizabeth Hess) is now an over-sexed, half-crazed shrieking harpy, Friar Laurence (Thomas Derrah) is physically menacing and the prince (John Campion) has an inexplicable (and annoying) stutter. As for Mercutio—well it is rather impossible to overplay Mercutio—Che Ayende delivers the rants and innuendos in great style. The costumes continue the Gothic flamboyance of the characterizations.
