		<description><![CDATA[‘Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself in a dark wilderness, for I had wandered from the straight and true. How hard a thing it is to tell about, that wilderness so savage, dense and harsh, even to think of it renews my fear! It is so bitter, death is hardly more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I read this interesting article the other week.  It details the need for a legitimate lay response to the lack of proper governance from many bishops. The Vatican’s top prosecutor in sex-abuse cases has said that bishops must be held accountable for their handling of such cases. Msgr. Charles Scicluna, the promoter of justice at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a bit of confusion amongst the faithful about the Sacramental Anointing of the Sick. On the weekend I was waiting for confession at the local parish. The priest walked into the confessional, the red light went on, nek minnit, light turns off, and before I could even start to stand up, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At this time there is a battle about to waged (indeed, already being waged) over the actions of the Obama administration in the US health sector.  In essence, these actions mean that Catholic institutions will be required to provide health cover in the areas of contraception, abortion and sterilisation. I saw an article the other day [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More and more over the last few years, Blessed John Newman has come to influence the lives of Catholics &#8211; I heard somewhere that he is a favourite of Pope Benedict&#8217;s. The homily below has just come to my attention, and I must say, as a young Catholic who is often discontented and upset by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Catholics who have been well catechised know that the Eucharistic sacrifice is &#8220;the source and summit of the Christian life&#8221; (a fact pointed out in Lumen Gentium of the Second Vatican Council, and again in Pope John Paul II&#8217;s encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia).  Unfortunately, in their enthusiasm to present a façade of communion within their immediate Mass community, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;&#8230;Sir,&#8221; I answered, &#8220;there are certain writers to whom humanity owes much, whose talent is yet of so shy or delicate or retrospective a type that we do well to link it with certain quaint places or certain perishing associations. It would not be unnatural to look for the spirit of Horace Walpole at Strawberry [...]]]></description>
