Washington DC’s Archbishop, Cardinal McElroy made national news last week when he appeared on 60 Minutes with Norah O’Donnell and two of his colleagues. During that interview (4:40 mark) Cardinal McElroy explained the Church’s “Just War” conditions and why this particular war against Iran is not a just war, but rather is a war of choice.

The Catholic Standard had this article on the Archbishop’s visit to the County::

Regarding that last sentence about Steve and the Friends of Newtowne Manor House, they are hosting the following event this coming Saturday. (Newtowne Neck State Park is one of our better kept secrets in the County – a very quiet, peaceful and beautiful place to visit. It is worth a visit if you have never checked it out.)

I mentioned how serene and nice Newtowne State Park is. When walking around its grounds, you really can feel the Presence of the Lord. Another great tune from Blind Faith, written by Clapton and sung by Winwood,
