From Zenit News Agency - The World Seen From Rome:
"'We Catholics don't provoke anyone, but we mustn't be afraid to confess our faith in public,' the cardinal exhorted.
With 'two-thirds of humanity who do not yet know Jesus or don't accept him' and geographic areas 'that need to be re-evangelized. --We cannot remain indifferent,' Cardinal Arinze warned.
'This is why the Pope speaks of a new evangelization. New not in content, but in method, in the impetus, in the spirit with which we proclaim Jesus,' he said. "

Arafat on Life Support
The story that won't die. Seems like they are trying to keep the illusion of life until they can iron out where he is going to be buried. He wanted Jerusalem, but Israel won't allow that. As a Muslim he would need to be buried within 24 hours of his death.
From CNN.com - Arafat on life support, U.S. officials say - Nov 5, 2004:
"Two U.S. administration officials have said machines were keeping Arafat alive until his family and officials from France, Israel and Egypt could reach a decision about a burial site."

Spurrier Says No to Gators but will Probably say Yes to Dolphins
From MSNBC - Spurrier might have bigger Fish to fry:
"The caretakers of the Dolphins are going to make current coach Dave Wannstedt suffer through a dreadful season and earn his pay, then they are going to make him the former head coach. They are going to deposit him in the assistants-who-should-not-have-been-head coaches bin with Ron Zook and try to get right with the fans.
A good start would be to hire Spurrier, who has Florida fans walking toward a ledge today. Six days ago, they were giddy believing Spurrier would rescue them. Today, they hold their heads in their hands.
Spurrier insists the Dolphins have not called, but there has to be a certain telepathy at work here. Bad team needs good coach. Works every time.
And all along we thought Spurrier was going to ride in and rescue the Gators. Wrong water animal. The life preserver could be thrown to the Dolphins.
Maybe."

Help Requested
I'm looking for Saints who were converted or whose lives were changed from hearing either the Gospel preached or proclaimed at Mass.
St. Antony comes to mind,
But I'm looking for others.
