Mark Shea at Catholic and Enjoying It posted this from Peggy Noonan:
What I Told the Bishops
Thoughts on the crisis in the American Catholic Church.

My favorite line:

"We ask them to discuss the pressing issues of the moment, such as cloning--we're entering a world in which industrial fetal farms may grow replacement people for replacement parts--and instead they issue new directives on how it would be better if people sang songs during the mass after communion, and hugged each other instead of shaking hands during the moment of peace."

Ms. Noonan's book called John Paul the Great will be out on November 10th. Her book, What I Saw At the Revolution: A Political Life in the Reagan Era was excellent!
