What's a day in the Catholic universe without at least one? At Pontifications I posted about a column by Mary Ann Glendon's daughter, Liz Lev, defending her mother against criticism of her withdrawal. And another post is about, yes, an anti-abortion group flying a plane with a banner of aborted fetuses over Notre Dame for several hours a day up through commencement, when Obama will speak. The group also plans to drive similarly decorated billboard trucks around the area. I continually wonder where this all came from, and most of all, where it is all going.
