We've been hacked! Sort of. The home page wasn't updated yesterday because someone or something dropped malicious code into our user database, which crippled our ability to post new content. After many unhappy hours of digging for the problem, I now support abrogating habeas corpus. Hackers, we're coming for you.

In the meantime, here are the highlights:

• Andrew Greeley reviews David Gibson's new book on the pope.
• The Editors delve into Dean Hoge's troubling new study of the recently ordained.
  
• Richard Alleva reviews Martin Scorsese's latest, The Departed.
• And dotCommonwealer Cathy Kaveny tries mightily to change my mind about eviscerating habeas corpus.
