An Excellent Piece!
Even though he is dealing with the demise of the Jesuits, what he says could be applied to every religious order and other aspects of Catholicism in the USA.
From theUS Jesuit Conference - Who are the Jesuits
For all the faults of the old theology, it at least recognized that a concupiscential struggle bedevils man and that supernatural salvation demands a conversion beyond the order of nature, that one’s own feelings and reasonings are not necessarily the norm of morality.

Rosary Stories Anyone?
Paul Thigpen wants them! Here is his appeal:
The Holy Father recently declared a Year of the Rosary, and he is asking us to rediscover this wonderful prayer. In response to his request, I am collecting stories about the Rosary to publish in a book: true stories, brief or not-so-brief, from people who have had their lives changed by the Rosary, or who have experienced a powerful intervention of Our Lady through the Rosary--the more specific, the better. (References pointing me to such stories already in print, or to historical testimonies, would also be welcome.)
I don't need for people to write the stories; I simply want them to tell me in an email what happened, and I will write them up. There would be no financial remuneration for submitting a story, but if it were used in the book, folks would have the pleasure of sharing it, reading about it in print (I already have the contract), and knowing they were helping others to rediscover this Catholic treasure.
Would you be willing to post this as an item on your blog? Readers who have stories to share can email them to me at rosarystories@yahoo.com.
