To my readers (and critics) -- Happy New Year, thanks for gracing this blog with your eyes and I hope to make your acquaintance in the combox in the future.
Oh, and if you enjoy this blog and wish to show your appreciation in a concrete way:
- Consider a donation to "Peter's Pence":
"the most characteristic expression of the participation of all the faithful in the Bishop of Rome’s charitable initiatives in favour of the universal Church. The gesture has not only a practical value, but also a strong symbolic one, as a sign of communion with the Pope and attention to the needs of one’s brothers" (Pope Benedict XVI)
