The Joys of the Herald

I've recently discovered the joys of the Catholic Herald's articles and ensuing comments. Some insights, and some nutters, but quite entertaining when I should have been working... Francis Phillips on Medjugorje, in particular, has sparked fierce debate.

Personally I have never found the garrulous 'Gospa' remotely reminiscent of Our Blessed Lady; and that along with the shenanigans surrounding the seers and the Franciscans associated with them makes one understand why the competent authorities (the local bishops) have declared there to be nothing supernatural going on there.

Other hot topics include the new translation of the Mass, where William Oddie's recent articles have also attracted a lot of comment.
