And just when you thought the Faith in New England was dead... St. John's, the seminary of the Archdiocese of Boston, has nearly doubled its enrollment. A very heartening story, though I still fear it may be too late to save many of the presently threatened parishes in the Bay State.

This, courtesy of GalliaWatch. Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, has proven himself a true Catholic prince. He has refused to sign a law which would legalize euthanasia. Unfortunately, the elected government is simply planning to remove his power to do so, rendering his signature unnecessary. The conduct of Europe's remaining Catholic princes in recent years has been an argument for monarchy in itself; about twenty years ago, the King of Belgium, of all ungodly lands, did the same thing regarding an abortion bill. Please pray for Grand Duke Henri, and that Catholics without the blood royal may also conduct themselves with such bravery.
