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.

no mantillas, but most of the women do have their heads covered . . .
Looks like they've already got the chrism out.
But thank God the photographer left before the part of the ceremony requiring the use of the paschal candle!
The only caption I could think of is for the pictures of the woman in her white bodysuit:
Victoria's Secret: Now selling sexy clerical garb (see catalog for sizing and prices)
If Tertullian were alive, he might just be persuaded to support women's ordination by looking at these marvy pics. Wasn't he the one who said, "Credo quia absurdum est," "I believe it because it is absurd"?
Really, I begin to develop a soft spot in my heart for these ditzy chics. They're so silly that they're kinda sweet, poor things. THEY'RE not going to take over the world.
