Cool things



First of all, St. Lawrence got a shout out today from popular Catholic blogger Amy Welborn regarding its initiative to evangelize on campus - The Ask a Catholic A Question campaign gets a big thumb ups from the blogsophere as real evidence of the springtime of evangelization in the Church. Also great news for fans of campus ministry in the Church, Cardinal Newman has a confirmed miracle that allows him to be beatified at a date of the Holy Father's choosing. Reports indicate Gordon Brown has invited the Pope to do the beatification in England if he wishes. Cardinal Newman is the patron of campus ministries attached to universities! Many Catholics around the world had their faith strengthened and supported while in college at their local 'Newman Center.'
Finally, here is the actual text of the letter written by Mary Ann Glendon declining Notre Dame's prestigious Laetare medal.
