Top Catholic News of 2006
Here's my top 5 Catholic news items of 2006:
#5 - Archbishop Milingo (of Moonie fame) reappears, ordains married priests and is excommunicated.
#4 - The Gospel of Judas, a Gnostic forgery, causes a brief flap when published by National Geographic.
#3 - The Davinci Code becomes a movie, causing a strong backlash in Catholic circles. After a strong opening(and sadly, many teenagers attending)the movie faded at the box office.
#2 - Pope Benedict's visit to Germany and his famous speech which causes some consternation in Islamic circles.
#1 - Pope Benedict's brave visit to Turkey where he visited a mosque and received an extremely favorable reception from the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch.
Would your list be different?
