I am in Phoenix for the annual summit of Legatus. It really fires up tonight, but registration has begun. There is “hospitality” during the day. I may take my laptop down to the common area and work from there while people watching. Already quite a few familiar faces have come into view.
As an aside, may I say how great it was to sit outside and have breakfast this morning? It was 34°F and sleeting back at the SPTDV (I checked) and in a short-sleeved shirt I enjoyed my huevos and OJ. What all those people on the patio were doing with those sweaters and jackets….
The display tables – in the set up process still – are already representative of mainstream conservative Catholicism in these USA. For example:
- Christendom College
- St Thomas Aquinas College
- Lexington College
- Relevant Radio
- BirthChoice
- Wyoming Catholic College
- Thomas More Law Center
- Napa Institute
- Thomas More Society
- St Gregory Retreat Center
- Pontifical North American College
- Ave Maria Radio
No sign of the National Schismatic Reporter. Hmmm…. oh… right… that’s not a Catholic publication.
UPDATE:
Al Kresta is here, broadcasting live.
A detail of the display for a Fr Z favorite, Wyoming Catholic College:
Before Mass with the bishops
UPDATE
I am at supper at table “1”, which surprised me. Tom Monaghan, Bp. Olmsted, Archbp Lori. wonderful!
UPDATE
Archbp Lori received an award for defending religious liberty.
Now Kenneth Cuccinelli is speaking. He is AG of Virginia about threats to religious liberty. He actually called on the bishops to lobby for smaller government. Larger government, less freedom.
THIS guy has got game.
