Cleansing evil spirits at El Colacho baby-jumping festival

"El Colacho is a vibrant, albeit Pope-worrying festival in Castrillo de Murcia in north-west Spain, the culmination of 96 hours celebration following the feast of Corpus Christi."

Though I'm really not sure at all how this could have come about...

There's no documentation, but the comments about the Church and Pope Benedict XVI are interesting.

You'll recognize the group if you see them. They're the ones standing there with their fingers in their ears shrieking loudly "Medieval abuse! Stuck in the middle ages! Science uber alles! These people are luddites! The Catholic Church is evil! There is no God!" and renting bus signs saying the same thing.

He forgot a word

Indifference to God brings indifference to evil, says Pope 

That word would be 'can', or 'may', or 'often'. I'm not certain that I would say that all people who are indifferent to the existence of God are indifferent to evil. He may mean 'the ultimate end' of that sort of thinking, or it's just general advice to Christians. That's most likely...

A modern saint


Martyr who refused to remove crucifixes from hospital honored Oct. 29
