  1. The flu is local. What to do at Mass is personal. No congregant has to receive from the cup or shake hands if fearful of getting the flu.
  2. Universal health care? For Planned Parenthood it for everyone but babes in the womb.For bishops: everyone from conception to natural death.
  3. AP reports the Church insists on "Mass presided over by a priest." For the record, if a priest is not presiding it is not Mass.
  4. Congress must make health care reform abortion-neutral if it's to succeed. Issues are wellness, cancer, meds, eyesight, not abortion.
  5. New New Yorker piece by Paul Rudnick: tacky, crude, inaccurate, bigoted. Whatever happened to editing, taste. It's a cartoon of a magazine.
  6. Virginia Benjamin, MD, surgeon general nominee, worked with Mercy Sisters in Mobile & on Catholic Health Assn board. Dedicated to the poor.
  7. Pope, prez meet 7/10. Pundit parsing of what's said and not said atop Tuesday's encyclical makes for a busy week for religion reporters.

  13. Hard to twitter on priests with only 140 characters.I know more than 140 characters who are terrific priests. Year for Priests is for them.
