WI Catholic Musings: Two Catholic Men - Tim Russert and Tony Snow

I just finished reading another fine obituary of Mr. Tony Snow online in the local Catholic newspaper. It said all the right things and was syndicated by a major Catholic News outlet. However, as in the case of all the stories filed in the mainstream media, two words were seemingly missing from the story, " Catholic convert ." I thought perhaps it was me. I thought it was just my sensitivity. Thanks to the blogosphere, however, I found that that tiny electric tingle running down my spine was out there on the Catholic blogs and running awash. Others had noticed too: Raymond Arroyo for one . This blog post is one of many that have "caught the vibe ." I thought I'd share it. It is not all in my head. The agenda is very clear. Mr. Snow was a Christian AND a Catholic. He will receive a Requiem Mass in a Catholic Basilica tomorrow morning. May God have mercy on his soul and that of Mr. Russert. May their souls both rest in peace... Both were Catholics
