The Hokey-Pokey - What's It All About?
Everyone knows the routine -- you put your right hand in, you put your right hand out, and so on. Pretty darn innocuous, right? Well, it seems that in England, a lot of people have gotten upset about the 50's dance craze because they believe some ...

Catholic priest set to give birth
Remember the old joke about a man and his son are involved in an accident but when the boy arrives at the hospital, the surgeon says "I cannot operate on him; he is my son"? The joke is that the surgeon is the boy's mother. Today, no one thinks twice ...
Abortion ban in Nicaragua leads to death
Last November, Nicaragua enacted a law making all abortion illegal, including in cases of rape or when the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother. For the wealthy, this is not a problem -- there are clinics in Miami they can visit or even in ...
Pope wants more Europeans
Remember that list of ten reasons not to have kids that garnered more than a bit of controversy a while back? It seems that maybe the Europeans have taken that to heart and are cutting back on the whole parenting gig. While visiting Austria, Pope ...
Should teachers have personal lives?
How much of a teacher's personal life does a school really need to care about? Certainly, if they have a history of molesting children, that's an issue. If they don't like ice cream, well, I'd say there's something wrong with them, but it's not ...Katie Holmes: the great escape

New Catholic prayer book for teens
Boy, I sure could have used something like this when I was younger. Dominican monk Wojciech Jedrzejewski (gesundheit!) of Poland has created a new prayer book aimed at teenagers. The book has upset the Polish Catholic community, but father ...
Catholic kids reading the Da Vinci Code?
Last week, the day before The Da Vinci Code opened, I overheard a conversation at my son's swim practice. Some of the mothers were talking about their twelve-year-old daughters reading the book and planning to see the movie. I confess this surprised ...
Kid Hacks: Friar Woody and Sister Jessie
I was getting some work done last night when, out of the blue, my eight-year-old daughter Neve came up to me and said, "Hey dad...are you ready to see Monk Woody and Nun Jessie??" For a minute, I thought the kid had broken into our liquor ...
