STLToday.com carries a nice interview of Cardinal John Foley by Tim Townsend . Cardinal Foley was in St. Louis last week and had time for the interview. Here is a snippet: Q: What are the differences between John Paul and Benedict in terms of how they worked with media?

As has been proven all over the world, when the Diocesan Ordinary teaches and defends the Catholic faith, Diocesan vocations increase. Dissent and ambiguity lead to dwindling numbers of priests.
