With this guy goes an unrivaled wealth of first-hand experience with the gritty NYC movie scene circa 1982, when he was a Catholic school boy disappearing into the sticky seats on 42nd Street for guts, gore, grime, and girls.

Vatican City, Dec 18, 2020 / 05:05 am (CNA).- Pope Francis appointed Friday a new bishop of Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
The pope named Msgr. Larry J. Kulick Dec. 18 as the sixth bishop of the diocese founded in 1951.
Kulick, a 54-year-old canon lawyer, has served as diocesan administrator since Sept. 15, when he was elected to the post by the diocese’s College of Consultors.
He took up the role following the July 16 appointment of Bishop Edward C. Malesic, the fifth bishop of Greensburg, to lead the Diocese of Cleveland.
In a statement on the website of Greensburg diocese, the bishop-elect said: “I would like to express my gratitude to the Holy Father for his confidence and trust in appointing me as bishop of the Diocese of Greensburg. Western PA has always been my home.”

It hurts every time. The first time I remember reading about sex abuse in the Catholic Church was in 2002. I was studying theology in graduate school when the Boston Globe published its report on abuse in the Archdiocese of Boston.
A couple years later, after I got a job at the diocesan newspaper back home, victims stepped forward to name the pastor of our parish as an abuser. A few of the priests at the chancery told us the charges were false, but everything I read sounded true.
A few years after that, my boss pulled me aside to tell me that the new pastor, who had replaced the previous one, also had been accused. Later that year, I was working late and the father of one of the victims called my office. He was angry. He told me what my pastor had done to his son. His son was never the same and, after years of suffering, he killed himself.

St. Anne came to my wife in a dream once. The grandmother of Jesus gently touched my wife’s abdomen, and told her that she was having a girl weeks before our doctor could tell us the same.
Seven years later my daughter’s middle name, “Anna-Maria,” has great significance for me as a theologian. The hyphen, which unites Anne and Mary, recalls to mind the intimate union of the Old and New Testaments, the prophecies of Israel and the proclamations of the Church. Through these two Jewish women in the line of David one whose Hebrew name means “grace,” and one who is “full of grace” comes grace upon grace.
