Pope St. Gregory the Great (d. 3-12-604)
(His current feast is 9-3, to commemorate his ascendance to the papacy. Today is his dies natalis, though, and celebrating twice per year isn’t too much, is it?)

This is a…church.
At least it isn’t Catholic.
The Passion
I’m not reviewing this film, but my favorite priest is in this week’s Arlington Catholic Herald. Go read what he says.
Cohabitation and Marriage
A December article from New Scientist claims that cohabitation before marriage is good for men’s health. I didn’t read all of the argument because of the logical flaw in the first paragraph:
Don’t these weirdos know that whatever isn’t good for a woman’s happiness will ultimately manifest itself in her man’s mental health???
The best thing about the Big Game
Not Janet’s nipple (which I didn’t see on my 12″ screen, thank goodness), the somewhat naked man (which I did see, briefly), a very badly played first half (on both sides), MTV’s resident eunuch-type (Timberlake, I mean, and that’s not libel), P. Diddy, and a bunch of yankee-types (also not libel) winning the game. All very disappointing. (During the half-time show, I kept thinking of the movie scene where a Russian missile is deflected and inadvertently hits the MTV satellite (Spies Like Us?) and wishing it were true.)
The evening wasn’t a total loss, if for no other reason than the Ford-sponsored pre-game show, where we were introduced to the 500-hp, 500 lb.ft.-torquing Ford GT. Won’t somebody please buy me this car?
