Oasis very busy today: a few recent tidbits though

From Vatican News Services yesterday:
1) The nuns of St Cecilia's convent weave the wool for the pallia. I seem to remember that's the name of the convent at Torre de'Specchi.
2) Bishop Rodriques, prelate of Opus Dei was in private audience with the Pope yesterday. Interesting in view of recent posts here and on Holy Smoke.
3) Cardinal Ricard, Archbishop of Bordeaux has been appointed to the Pontifical Commission for Christian Unity. (There's an excellent interview with HE on kto first aired last Sunday before the Angelus, I think recorded before the new appointment. Anyway, well worth watching. The Cardinal speaks French much more slowly than Fr. Keith Beaumont! The programme is in 'The Life of the Dioceses series.)

From Zenit this morning:
Benedict XVI not letting Cardinal Bertone retire. Zenit article 28122

From Pope Benedict XVI blog - link in sidebar, Pope's second book on Jesus of Nazareth ready to print

Fr Tim Finigan (Hermeneutic of Continuity) - again link in sidebar - recommends a new compendium of Pope Benedict's writings on the Eucharist, available from Family Publications. I believe FP is the UK outlet for Ignatius Press, so USA readers try IP first.

NEXT POST ON SUNDAY EVENING. WON'T HAVE TIME UNTIL THEN. MORE TO SAY ABOUT THE INSIDIOUS LINGUISTICS OF MUCH MODERN JOURNALISM, PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO THE RECENT MATTER OF SCHONBORN/MEJUGORGE; AND AN ASSESSMENT OF THE RECENT INTERVIEW OF BISHOP WILLIAMSON WITH A RIGHT WING FRENCH POLITICIAN.
