Looks promising. Maybe more so than Ave Maria, which seems to be a little off track lately.

What?! Ave Maria off track? What have they been doing?

The good news is that New Catholic University sounds like a solid institution. I see that it's going to have a film program, too. It sure would be great if we could get more principled Christians in Hollywood.

I agree with you with respect to Ave Maria.

I was very hopeful at first, but my hopefulness has turned to wariness and even disappointment due to a variety of developments and some of what I've seen first hand (I own property and live nearby).

I had feared from the beginning that they were going to reject tradition when I heard rumors that the Latin rite would not be allowed at all. I then had hoped that if focus on tradition were not in the cards, at least focus on orthodoxy was. Well that's doesn't seem to be case either.

I attended the first mass (which took place in a huge tomato field with the Vatican choir singing) and it was far from orthodox. The priest's homily was devoted to the big-bang theory.

The Dominos guy seems to be a charismatic "new Catholic" type with his own ideas about things and our bishop has about as much respect for tradition as most others in the US, which is none.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting them to be much help at all.
