New Catholic News Web Site

A website which provides news links from a variety of Catholic and secular sources (including news contributions from individuals), PewSitter.com was just launched. I've added this site to my sidebar on the right. The site's debut is very timely, as two major pronouncements came from Rome in the past week.

Pope Benedict XVI issued his Motu Proprio allowing more general use of the traditional Latin Mass while maintaining the post-Vatican II form of the Mass commonly said today. See Catholic News Service report here.

Also, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith released a papal approved document titled Responses to some Questions Regarding Certain Aspects of the Doctrine on the Church, which describes the Church's doctrine on the unique role of the Catholic Church.
