Gscheid,
"Fr Groeschel tonight mentioned this is one of his pet-peeves and mentioned a few schools he is not happy with. I guess older broadcast tonight since he didn't mention the Pope was coming over to speak with some of these folks. Here is a list of some of the Good Guys:
The first group is characterized by a Catholic identity that permeates all areas of campus life; the second includes institutions founded or expanded in the last few years; and the third group represents older colleges and universities that have succeeded in renewing and strengthening their Catholic identity.
The "Joyfully Catholic" colleges are: Christendom College, The College of Saint Thomas More, Franciscan University of Steubenville, Magdalen College, Thomas Aquinas College, The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, University of Dallas, and the University of St. Thomas (Houston, TX.).
The "Born from the Crisis" colleges are: Ave Maria University, Holy Apostles College & Seminary, John Paul the Great Catholic University; Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy, Southern Catholic College and Wyoming Catholic College.
The "Fighting the Tide" colleges are: Aquinas College (Nashville, TN.), Belmont Abbey College, Benedictine College, The Catholic University of America, DeSales University, Mount St. Mary's University and St. Gregory's University.
In addition to in-depth profiles of the 21 colleges, The Guide includes essays from prominent Catholic leaders. Among the clergymen are Archbishop Elden Curtiss of the Archdiocese of Omaha, NB., noted writer and spiritual director Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., and author and evangelist Father C. John McCloskey III.
Prominent lay contributors are philosopher Peter Kreeft, Cardinal Newman Society founder and president Patrick Reilly and Eileen Cubanski, co-founder and executive director of the National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools."
This is very true but, unfortunately, the vast majority of so-called "Catholic" universities in this country are anything but Catholic.

Goody Bags!
If you're attending the papal Mass at Nationals Park on April 17, you'll get a gift bag when you arrive. It will contain the Mass program, the Magnificat (daily prayers and daily Mass readings) and a Vatican flag. Our guess is that a lot of flag-waving will result.
If you're sitting on the baseball field, you get even more stuff: a poncho (in case of rain), a Pope Benedict XVI prayer card, bottled water and a snack (a granola bar and cinnamon crisps). The bad news: that food will have to do you. You probably won't be able to get to the snack bars, the folks at the Archdiocese of Washington say. So eat a big breakfast. (There will be 5,600 people sitting on the field -- a mix of clergy, nuns, monks and others and some lay people, who were ticketed at random.)
Also, note: During the Mass itself, the snack bars will be closed.

To All,
I was glued to the T.V. set for hours. I watched the Fox Channel and EWTN and from time to time CNN. One thing for sure, I would change channels when people would start making their commentaries while the liturgy was going on. I appreciate the commentaries but not when I could not hear what was actually going on.
Unlike past papal visits, I did notice that many of the priests making the commentaries were orthodox priests ready to correct nonsense. That really helps a lot.
I love the way the President received him in the White House. I do love to compare Rev. Wright's words "God damn America," with the Pope's "God Bless America!" What a difference between the two men. One, a bigot pretending to preach the Gospel, the other a true man of God actually preaching the Gospel.
His encounter with the bishops at the Immaculate Conception Shrine was indeed very interesting. I read the entire speech and there is much food for thought. Also, he really gave it to the university rectors and professors who, will pretend, he said nothing to them. His encounter with the handicapped and with the youth was fantastic. I hope he made it to the bedside of the ailing 90 year old Cardinal Avery Dulles.
The Mass at St. Patrick's and then at Yankee stadium were also incredible moments, and his prayer at ground zero was very moving.
The media should apologize for their distorted view of the Pope and how they had portray him, particularly after his election. I would say it is fair to say his visit did a lot to change the negative image many held of him. I was so proud to see and hear our Pope and I must confess his Spanish is even more clear than his English. When he goes to Mexico in January, no one will be able to say he didn't speak Spanish clearly. When he stood at the podium in the United Nations I could not help make the comparison between the tyrant of Venezuela, when he hurled insults at Bush, and this Pope who got a standing ovation simply because that crowd recognized they had "the" moral authority of this planet right in front of them.
In short, I was so proud of our Pope and only hope everyone in this country will follow his lead.

I taped them all. I watched all, other than His UN address and Ground Zero. I'd like to re-watch the Masses after I read His Homilies.
I am less worried about what the MSM thinks than what other Catholics thought. Can we expect someone to put together all what the Pope said this week and send that down to us in the pews? Have they done this before with his messages? Along with watching the Yankees Stadium Mass yesterday, I went to my own parish Mass at 10a as well as a first Communion Mass. In the two live Masses and non-televised, I was disappointed I didn't hear any real excitement over the Pope's visit. No message was delivered as He wasn't even in these parts.

I complained to Raymond Arroyo about him not being able to be quiet and key times during the Pope's visit. You would think he would know proper etiquette? I thought Fr Neuhaus had good things to say/ add but at inappropriate times as well. They said they recd many emails complaining yet read the one or two who asked for more? So, they spoke more during yesterday's Mass.
They did seem to get a bunch of interesting emails--they should do a wrap up show this week and maybe an hour of questions like Fr Groeschel does.
It is damp/ dreary/ rainy here--plus sad the Papal visit events are over
