The Blase Begins
So, now it's confirmed – the Pope's coming to this scribe's hometown next year... and if you're surprised, well, you haven't been paying attention.

As the world awaits the very significant homilies to come at tonight's Liturgy of the Word and tomorrow's Installation Mass, we'd be remiss to not start in without the talk that arguably aligned the stars toward the stunning move – the then-Spokane bishop's June response (text) to Francis' "Vice-Pope" at a Washington symposium on the conflict between libertarianism and Catholic social teaching.
