...course the 80-year-old pontiff is no ordinary pilgrim. Not only is he the absolute leader of the billion-strong Catholic Church, he's also one of contemporary society's leading intellectuals - an unquestionably big thinker with the world's biggest platform for espousing his ideas. Speaking in his native German, and amongst believers much like those from the neighboring region of Bavaria where he was born, the Pope seemed especially comfortable on this latest trip. In a steady rain, Benedict pulled out the latest nuggets from his seemingly inexhaustible mine of deep thoughts on a now familiar theme...

Many people claim this is the true Harvard mascot, being that the Cantab is a pilgrim, yet stronger than the mortal John Harvard.That has potential. Think about it: Can Tab. Our mascot could be a lovable bottle of Coca-Cola (or Natie Light), representing the thirst quenching powers of our great institution.We could also have great nicknames, like the Pop-Tops, or, even better...
...This narrative thread will link a 14th-century German carol, 17th-century English carol, and pieces by Mozart and Mendelsohn with such contemporary compositions as Jonathan Dove’s setting of “The Three Kings” and Stephen Paulus’s “Pilgrim Jesus.” The Plummer Professor of Christian Morals and Pusey Minister in The Memorial Church Peter J. Gomes will offer readings from scripture throughout. Given that the services are very well attended, Jones says he sees them as an opportunity to introduce new music to the Boston...
