		<description><![CDATA[Within the last fortnight, I finished reading The Pope’s Legion, Charles Coulombe’s book on the Papal Zouaves. Besides being intelligently written and enjoyable, the book inspires because the subject matter is itself edifying. The Pontifical Zouaves were Blessed Pius IX’s foreign legion, who fought to defend the Papal States from the anticlericals and revolutionaries that united the Italian peninsula along the lines of Freemasonic, Enlightenment &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-185.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The biggest problem with Separation of Church and State is not that it is wrong, but that it does not and cannot exist. So long as every living man is made up of body and soul, God and Caesar will both have legitimate claims upon him — and these claims, at the best of times, may conflict. Moreover, he himself will often look to his &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/one-world-religion-or-religion-of-one-world.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

Writing for the WaPo, Ed Rogers suspects a cynical political motive: Reality check: Obama manipulated gay voters, kept them at a distance and hoped they would settle for the occasional wink and a nod. But he has found himself in a campaign with dwindling enthusiasm and a narrowing electoral map; he needs this group&#8217;s &#8230; <a class="readmorelink" href="http://catholicism.org/ed-rogers-skeptical-on-obamas-ss-evolution.html">More &#8594;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Liechtenstein&#8217;s Hereditary Prince Alois, a Catholic, has threatened to use his constitutional powers to veto a law allowing abortion in his tiny Alpine nation. This has led some to call for a referendum to remove the Hereditary Prince&#8217;s constitutional veto powers, which, in turn, has provoked the Prince to threaten withdrawal from the nation&#8217;s political life entirely.

		<description><![CDATA[The Obama administration is defending its use of drones to assassinate people outside of combat zones without due process. In the linked article, the organizations cited against the government&#8217;s position in the matter are all leftist (like, for instance, the ACLU). This might lead someone of (neo) conservative leanings to assume that only leftists oppose the tactics. That would not be true.
