Links to Military Orders and Orders of Knighthood Edited by Patrick Cracroft-Brennan, the site deals with the British Orders of Knighthood having interesting articles, namely on on the Orders of the Garter, Thistle, St. Patrick, Bath, Merit, St. Michael and St. George, Royal Victorian Order and British Empire. Playing with the modern renewed attraction to the historical Orders of Knighthood and its long lost traditions, these bogus orders seem to fill a gap in people's ever growing quest for honoursand distinctions, otherwise difficul to obtain in our democratic, egalitarian and levelled western societies. It is rather odd that amongst so many Military Religious Orders and Orders of Knighthood of Catholic origin in existence at the time, the Pontiffs chose only the Order of Christ for conferrement motu proprio. www.geocities.com /Athens/Academy/3908/links2.htm   (566 words)

Tischreden "The relationship between a seminarian and his confessor or his spiritual director should not be about enforcing church documents, but to serve as spiritual guides," said the Rev. Michael Herman, a priest in the Archdiocese of Chicago who has recently publicly identified himself as gay in order to speak out against the Vatican's action.
