2012 Catholic Humor Summit
By Terry Mattingly/Syndicated columnist
In the year 752, a priest named Stephen was elected pope, but died four days later — before officially filling the chair of St. Peter in Rome.
For centuries Catholic records included him as Pope Stephen II — until the Second Vatican Council. At that time, Pope Stephen III officially became Pope Stephen II (III) and the other later popes named Stephen received similarly strange titles. -

I pledge allegiance to myself…
By Fr. Jonathan Filkins, PASTOR/St. Barnabas Anglican Church in Picayune
There is an apparent and growing perception, we Americans are somehow adrift as a country: economically, morally and spiritually.

As we have endured this condition for several years, there is an uneasy feeling it has permeated our psyches, draining our national spirit and even impinging upon our relationship with God.
