Some links to articles on Monsignor Brunero Gherardini.
Obtaining a copy of the English translation of his book appears to be difficult. I hope there is a second printing.

Al Kimel, formerly of Pontifications, doesn't really talk about his conversion to Orthodoxy but gives his view of Orthodoxy and Orthodox theology, while mentioning some personal tragedies: Why Eclectic?

Retreats at Holy Resurrection Monastery
Retreats at HRM 2012-2013
These two are of interest:
But the monastery is now located in Wisconsin... if I ever visit WI, I'd try to visit Providence Academy and the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe as well.
These two are of interest:
April 12-14, 2013, The Mass, East and West
• Presenter: Abbot Nicholas
How can we serve the New Evangelization through our liturgical treasures? This retreat will help the Mass come alive for you in new ways.
May 24-26, 2013, The Jesus Prayer
• Presenter: Father Maximos
How can we “rejoice always and pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-17)? This retreat will be a practical introduction to prayer of the heart for lay people.

Vatican Insider: Russia: The Orthodox spring
Sarge and others are skeptical, but we should pray for rejuvenated local churches there (and the restoration of communion with the Bishop of Rome).

Married Priests in the Roman Rite?
First Thoughts: UPDATED: John Haldane Calls for Married Priests
Despite the long history of the discipline of clerical celibacy in the Roman rite, I am not so attached to it. I would not be bothered if the rule was changed so that married men could be ordained to the priesthood. An increase in the number of smaller neighborhood communities (and their temples) would probably require an increase in the number of priests, and it is doubtful whether this would be financially viable for many urban areas in the United States. There would have to be a core group of members who could provide financial support for the community.
Is such a change necessary to increase the number of candidates to the priesthood? There is in the Western Patriarchate (or in the United States, at least) a crisis in authority rooted in a crisis in masculinity - admitting older married candidates may help alleviate certain problems in the exercise of authority and pastoral care, provided that they have the leadership qualities that the younger men lack (along with many bishops). Do we have a shortage of manly Catholic fathers?

Pope's Homily on Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American Saint

The Next Dumb Ox Event
At the DSPT, October 30 at 8 P.M.: Fr. Hilary Martin, OP - Does Theology Change Anything?
Money matters, but does theology? Power matters, but does theology? Fr. Yves Congar, OP matters. Fr. Yves Congar, a French Dominican spent his life working with theology. Before, during and after Vatican II he worked on the Faith and how to get it across to people. He was not a bishop at the Second Vatican Council, only a Peritus, but had a hand in a lot that went on there. His Journal, or Daybook, shows how deep a hand he had.
Are we different from the way we were, and the way we were from the way we are now?
