Duccio's Slaughter of the Innocents, from the Maesta, 1308-11.
Kerry Heresy Update
Breaking news on the Kerry heresy denunciation (libellus litis) available daily here, at De Fide, dedicated to "deal[ing] with the burgeoning scandal of Catholic politicians supporting the 'Right to Choose' murder and leading ever so more faithful into perdition." Definitely check it out: Mr. Balestrieri needs all the help, physical, spiritual and moral, he can get, as fellow canonist Pete Vere reports over at Envoy Encore. Mr. Balestrieri has done something brave, bold and very dangerous: he may even have put his job on the line. He's a canonist in L.A., which, may I remind you, is, ahem, Mahoneyland: the archdiocese has advertised a new opening for a canon lawyer in recent days, which I'd like to think (against the odds) is a coincidence, but it's nonetheless disconcerting. Mr. Vere reports that "When I last spoke to Marc [...] he had not eaten in several days, having poured his meager life savings as one of the Church’s lay employees into this canonical action." Wow. Keep this daring soul in your prayers, and if you feel called to do more, now you know where to go!
