First: I refused to watch the latest Jesus mini-series, because (as usual) Mary Magdalene was portrayed as a prostitute. This libel has no scriptural basis (don't get me going!). If you'd like to see the footage the network censored, visit:
http://www.hollywoodjesus.com.
I know I go on a lot about this site, but it's really something. To the gentleman who runs it, Hollywood Jesus is a true ministry. They just recorded their 10 millionth hit--what a testament to the spiritual hunger that exists out there.
Second: "Is Anti-Catholicism the last acceptable prejudice?" My friends and I have wondered about this for years. Slate (or was it Salon...) debated this issue earlier this year. Now America (the Jesuit magazine) tackles the notion at:

Is there indeed something to this, or are controversies about "anti-Catholic" art/movies/commercials more rightly considered a matter of personal taste or over-sensitivity? See what you think.
Next: Why would ultra-hip dot.com magazine Fast Company profile the headmistress of an all-girls school? When that headmistress is Sr. Barbara Rogers (MBA, Yale) the answer is obvious... Click on:

Finally: Mary's month is over, but gardening season is underway. Why not learn a bit more about Mary's Gardens? In medieval times, flowers were commonly named after the Virgin and her attributes. Think "lily of the valley" and "Rose of Sharon." Entire gardens were planted exclusively with these blooms, as beautiful living devotions. This quaint tradition is currently experiencing a revival, through books and of course, web sites. For more information, visit one of our own:
