Calls for Magdalene investigation - The Irish Times - Mon, Jun 06, 2011
The Government should set up a statutory investigation into allegations of torture and degrading treatment against women committed to Magdalene Laundries.
It should also punish the perpetrators and provide redress to the women who suffered, the United Nations Committee Against Torture has recommended.

Saint's Head to be Auctioned
Now this is truly Fortean; the "ancient skull" of St. Vitalis of Assisi is soon to be auctioned off. Very cool photo of said head with article. (thanks to Professor Hex for link.)
Saint's head to be sold at auction in Duleek - News, frontpage - Drogheda-Independent.ie: "THE ancient skull of an Italian saint will be sold at auction in Annesbrook House in Duleek on Sunday.
'We do a fine art sale once a year and when we decided on Annesbrook then the link with St Oliver Plunkett struck me,' stated auctioneer Damien Matthews from Oldcastle.
'I remember visiting his head in Drogheda when I was a young lad so I said why not put the skull of St Vitalis of Assisi into a sale just down the road.'
The skull, which is in a Queen Anne case, is expected to fetch anything up to €1,200.
'We think the skull is about 600 years old' he continued.
'It is said that the saint met a bad end as he was buried alive with stones placed on his head."

New Statue of Pope John Paul II Offends...
Quite a number of the faithful are offended by artist Oliviero Rainaldi's new sculpture of Pope John Paul II; many are saying it looks less like the late Pope, and more like Mussolini. Rainaldi says:
I wasn't thinking about resemblance, but rather a work that was able to synthesize, in the posture of the head and body and in the draping of the cloak, the way the pope went out into the world,"
Others aren't so sure. There's a possibility the statue will be removed. More here:

Out There | Marian apparition in Africa? | unknowncountry
(Thanks to blog visitor DavidP who alerted me to this link.) On Whitley Strieber's site, this clip of the BVM appearing in the sun on the Ivory Coast. Personally, I couldn't see anything, but many in the crowd seem very excited about something. Was there something there, indeed, or is it "Project Blue Beam" type phenomena, or, the usual attributed "mass hysteria?"

From Scott Corralles: Dark Holiness: Forgotten Apparitions
A truly fascinating account of an apparition in Spain in the 1930s, -- one I was unfamiliar with this one -- with dark overtones, from Inexplicata-The Journal of Hispanic Ufology. As is pointed out in the this article, lots of similarities to other BVM apparitions, but some distinct and sinister differences as well. Not uncommon either; the church's attempts at suppressing the incident.

Catholic church ordains married man - Yahoo! News
Catholic church ordains married man
Not unheard of, but infrequent ... this story from Germany. Church allows married clergy from other Christian sects who've converted to become ordained.
Not unheard of, but infrequent ... this story from Germany. Church allows married clergy from other Christian sects who've converted to become ordained.
Last year a married father of four was ordained as a priest in Regensburg, southern Germany.
Klueting's ordination comes as theologians and Catholic politicians in Germany have pressured the Vatican to end priestly celibacy and the German church struggles to overcome a wave of clerical sex abuse scandals and a priest shortages.

Vatican Goes TV: "The Exorcist Files"
No, really, this isn't from a Robert Anton Wilson novel, but real life. The Vatican and the Discovery Channel have come together to bring us The Exorcist Files. Recreating actual exorcisms the series will bring us, in dramatized form, the demon laden episodes of the possessed.
The Vatican is an extraordinarily hard place to get access to, but we explained we’re not going to try to tell people what to think,” says Discovery president and GM Clark Bunting.Exclusive: Discovery, Catholic Church team for exorcism series | Inside TV | EW.comBunting says the investigators believe a demon can inhabit an inanimate object (like a home) or a person. The network executive says he was initially skeptical when first meeting the team but was won over after more than three hours of talks.
“The work these folks do, and their conviction in their beliefs, make for fascinating stories,” Bunting says.
