Here’s an interesting entry: American Catholicism is 200 Years Old.
Yes, the first Cathedral was dedicated 200 years ago in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, the last of the Franciscan Youth Conferences here in Steubenville is in progress. I just attended the Holy Hour tonight. There was plenty of crying, sobbing, and stuff like that, as Jesus in the monstrance was carried around the Fieldhouse by Fr. Stan Fortuna. Crying may sound bad, but it’s all good. There was plenty of praise and worship too. You have to go to one of these to understand what they are like. It’s quite hard to explain them.
