Archbishop Burke, an outspoken defender of the faith, has been appointed to the Vatican supreme court. This position is usually filled by cardinals, so the appointment clearly shows the Pope’s esteem for Archbishop Burke.

I recieved an email that describes Jerry Springer-The Opera in Concert. Here is the description.
Some disturbing examples of what is in the “opera” include:

The crucifixion is mocked and the Eucharist is trashed
