Barbara Nicolosi has strong words about the new film version of Brideshead Revisited.

How dare they.

No, I mean really, how DARE they?! Imagine if someone did a new adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird and it ended up savagely racist? That’s what they’ve done here. A profoundly Catholic novel, in this “adaptation”, Brideshead Revisited is viciously anti-Catholic. They turned a movie about God and the soul, into a lurid love triangle between a homosexual, his sister and a hapless hunk. It’s lame. It’s bad.

Lots more here, including discussion on the ethics (or lack thereof) of such outrageous “adaptations.”

Saints + Gilbert & Sullivan = AWESOME!  :D

Found via The Ironic Catholic.

Found via New Liturgical Movement:  The USCCB has issued copies of the new translation of the Order of the Mass, recently approved by the Vatican, for purposes of preparation and catechesis. You can find them here; scroll to the bottom for PDF copies of the entire text, as well as separate copies of each Eucharistic Prayer.

I love the translation and am glad that at least the Order of the Mass is finished.  Alas, it will still take a while for the translation to be implemented, but it will be well worth the wait!
