Five Thoughts For Today
5. Fr. Barron got some good press from his Catholicism series, though I haven't seen it yet. The word is that Colleen Carroll Campbell will be reporting from Rome each day until we have a new Pope. Speaking of video series, how come no one ever thought of the idea of Colleen Carroll Campbell reading the Catechism from interesting locales? We could call it, "CCC reads the CCC." We could make millions.
4. You may be judging me right now for that last joke, but don't you forget: good fun for the whole family is made from bad puns and wordplay.
3. I read some article from the National Catholic Register like, "Nine Things You Need to Know about the Conclave." Now, I'm a faithful Catholic, but their description as to how this is all going to work made it seem a little tacky. It could've been worse, however. The National Catholic Reporter would have a piece saying that Obama should be the next Pope.
2. Here in St. Louis, Mike Bush is going to be reporting from Rome. "That's odd," I thought, "isn't he Jewish?" On the other hand, St. Louis is a huge Catholic city. The only thing bigger than the election of a new Pope in this town is opening day for the Cardinals. Then again, this is opening day for the Cardinals. [That's even worse than the last joke.--ed.]
1. Did you hear that they're jamming the cell phone signals of the cardinals? Is that really necessary? I already know some important people, but I can tell you that none of them has ever said, "Yeah, I've got Cardinal What's-His-Name on speed dial."
