First, per Jimmy Akin, The US Bishops are moving forward (per instruction and insistence from the Vatican) to make accurate English translations of the Liturgy. Some of the current translations in use since the 60s aren't quite up to snuff. 'Tis about time.
Next, via EWTN, Pope B-16 is urging strong reform in the religious orders. 'Tis about time.
Third, another step forward in the potential reunion of the Eastern Church with the Western Church (Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox). This is very promising.
Finally, via First Things, the Guardian (UK) printed a story about a potential medical breakthrough. In several cases, patients who were considered to be in "a permanent vegetative state" have briefly re-awakened after being given doses of the commonly prescribed sleep aid Zolpidem (also known by the name Ambien). In a few of these cases, the patients were able to fully communicate with their loved ones for several hours before returning to their previously unconscious state. Score another one for the Culture of Life vs. the Culture of Death.
