Gloria TV News on the Feast of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska.
Pope in Palermo
Italy
On Sunday, during his pastoral visit to Palermo, the capital city of the Italian island of Sicily, Pope Benedict XVI raised his voice against evil and organized crime. Palermo is a longtime hotspot of Mafia activity. The Pope invited Sicilian families to instead take courage in the joy and strength found in the "big family" of the Church, a "sign and instrument of unity, peace and true liberty."

I don't think it's right for non-Catholics to get deeply involved in the governance of the Church – he (Dershowitz) added.

Mr. Dershowitz should tell that to his fellow Jews who have done everything in their power to influence simple-minded ecumenists to modify Catholic liturgy (Good Friday) and to dilute Catholic teaching regarding the conversion of the Jews.
