Coup d’Oeil: Get your groove back edition
THE GOOD:
- Woody Allen and Billy Graham in conversation: “Can I ask you what your favorite commandment is?” “Really? That’s my least favorite!” Watch the video.
- The Becket Fund has a new International Religious Freedom News Archive. Every week, we release top headlines related to religious freedom throughout the world. Sound familiar? Take a look at the latest.
- An Open Letter to Pope Benedict from Islamic scholars engaging his lecture at Regensburg, which initially ignited furor and the Pope in effigy in the Muslim world. If only we had more of these discussions.
- NBC gives the VeggieTales some of its soul back after censors chopped off all non-historical references to God, including the happy closing, “Remember kids, God made you special and he loves you very much.” (Via Two Sheds Gomer) I adore the VeggieTales. Madame Blueberry!
THE BAD (and what to do about it):
- Tired of pointless polemics and soundbites? How to answer a fool.
- Catholic nun sentenced to 30 years in prison for her role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide. She is the first nun to be sentenced by the gacaca court for genocide-related deaths. “What an unspeakable tragedy that the church was complicit in many cases in the genocide. Words fail here.” Read on at The Point.
- Suffering from political malaise? rework E= MC².
THE JUST PLAIN WRONG:
- Tesco condemned for selling pole dancing toy for young girls (UK Daily Mail).
