For those who appreciate good culture, I'm watching Part Two of the Scorsese-directed docu-epic on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home, which has aired on PBS last night and tonight.
Watching the remastered archived footage, it's just electrifying. And they just showed our dear departed Mario Savio.... What a time.
One of global Catholicism's most prominent chroniclers, Rocco Palmo has held court as the "Church Whisperer" since 2004, when the pages you're reading were launched with an audience of three, grown since by nothing but word of mouth, and kept alive throughout solely by means of reader support.
A former US correspondent for the London-based international Catholic weekly The Tablet, he's been a church analyst for The New York Times, Associated Press, Washington Post, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, BBC, NBC, CNN and NPR among other mainstream print and broadcast outlets worldwide.
A native of Philadelphia, Rocco Palmo attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. In 2010, he received a Doctorate of Humane Letters honoris causa from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St Louis.
In 2011, Palmo co-chaired the first Vatican conference on social media, convened by the Pontifical Councils for Culture and Social Communications. By appointment of Archbishop Charles Chaput OFM Cap., he's likewise served on the first-ever Pastoral Council of the Archdiocese, whose Church remains his home.

I saw the first part on Monday. I didn't realize he got his start in the beat scene. Very interesting stuff.
"Interesting that what we are seeing in the ICEL translations is the "folk process" at its best (or worst)."
That is an interesting take on the translation process!
