The intrepid Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggia has inside information that "Pope Benedict will name Jose Gomez, 58, archbishop of San Antonio since February 2005, as coadjutor-archbishop of Los Angeles." Read it all here ... As Rocco points out, the Archbishop is a member of Opus Dei.

Rocco Palmo does his usual masterful job describing the Vigil Mass for the March for Life . It is the largest liturgy held annually in the U.S. with 16,000 in attendance and scores turned away. Note that a TLM will be held tomorrow .

Rocco Palmo has another exclusive on a story which will appear in the Catholic Review, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The author of the article is His Excellency, Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, and the article deals with the Freedom of Choice Act. Read this important article here . Here is just a snippet: A threat to all life, this legislation would also have a terrible impact on Catholic and other pro-life healthcare providers. Of particular note: FOCA trumps state laws that protect rights of providers (e.g. Catholic hospitals, pharmacists, etc.) to conscientiously object to performing abortions if such state laws are seen to in any way “interfere” with a woman’s decision to have an abortion. FOCA undermines the freedom of religion upon which our country was founded. I pledge that we will join with other all law-abiding religious and public interest groups in taking every action necessary to resist this blatant attempt to stifle the consciences of those w...

I watched part of the morning session on EWTN. As a reminder, day 2 is being shown tomorrow beginning at 9 AM EST and again at 2 PM. Rocco Palmo, as always, does a masterful job summarizing the feel of the Conference and the topic that everyone feels in a palpable fashion: will the Bishops handle the "subtleties" of "Faithful Citizenship" more directly if at all ? This is a great read as always.

And then there was this ... Rocco got the breaking story from Dan Burke of Religion News Service .

Rocco Palmo of " Whispers in the Loggia " discusses the US Conference of Bishops . To cite Mr. Palmo: "In keeping with longstanding tradition, however, no meeting of the body would be complete without some showdown on the liturgy -- a topic that, in recent years, has focused on the approval of a new wholesale translation of the Roman Missal, which current projections seem to be eyeing for implementation in late 2010."

Today, Rocco Palmo of Whispers in the Loggia posts a story on the religious history of Baltimore, the "Premier See ." It is a beautiful story and a must read which includes videos. Mr. Palmo also includes a link to the homily of Archbishop Edwin O'Brien (found on the Archdiocesan webpage), and a podcast link for the lecture by Archbishop Timothy Dolan of Milwaukee (the first lecture in a series). Thanks, Rocco!
