The Pope and Anti-Semitism

Pope Welcomes Anti-Semitic Bishops Back To The Fold

I watched a Catholic journalist respond to this development on the TV news tonight on NPR, about the Pope welcoming back into the fold the Bishops that denied the Holocaust. The journalist said he felt that the Pontiff and the Vatican were surprised by the negative reaction to the Pope's actions, and that the Pontiff was not aware of many of the quotes associated with the most militant Bishop.

Lies, all lies.

Manchester: two more from Bowers

I received some nice comments after making two blog posts about the old hometown of Manchester, Connecticut. In the 'Manchester Redux' story, I included a long list of names: names of people that I knew, names of people that played a part during those early years of my life in Manchester. Ironically, I have reconnected with someone on that list, someone that I have not spoken with since high school, and that has been most gratifying and rewarding.

I want to thank all who contacted me.

Below are links to two short stories, stories related by memories from the 3rd grade at the Bowers Elementary School. In one, I learn about the power of symbol and the Holocaust. In the other, I capture an image that comes back to me in Los Angeles many years on.
