Carlo Maria Martini’s “Day After”
The text of the cardinal published in “L’espresso” greatly irritated the Church’s leadership. Some have interpreted it as the manifesto of an antipope. Here is a summary of the reactions, plus a commentary by Pietro De Marco by Sandro Magister

Paper Clippings - Desert
...The grotesque economic boom in Dubai shows that the globalizing, capitalistic answer to the problem of modernization in the Arab world is more or less as inhuman as the fundamentalist solution. In a way, the two are complementary and represent two sides of the same cultural breakdown.

On the Square, May 1st
Here at First Things, we just rejected our 412th submitted essay on The Da Vinci Code—and promptly got a complaining email from John Wilson, the polymath editor of Books & Culture. Seems that he has had 206 of those essays submitted to him, each with a angry note saying it had just been rejected by First Things. I tried to explain to John that the other 206 had come to us with a note that they had just been rejected by Books & Culture, but he wasn’t mollified. Anyway, as long as Amy Welborn keeps at her noble but thankless work trashing the idiotic thing, both First Things and Books & Culture can keep to their grim determination not to dignify The Da Vinci Code with a response. Except for this, of course.
Speaking of The Da Vinci Code . . . AWK!
