Over at Dom Jim's
Father Jim Tucker of Dappled Things has some very interesting links today.

First, there is this good news from Rome: Pope set to return to traditional liturgy. Gone will be the television masses; this is what we can expect:
    Pope Benedict wants to return to the Sistine Chapel choirs singing Gregorian chant and the church music of such composers as Claudio Monteverdi from the 17th century. He also wants to revive the Latin Mass.

There is also a link to this very informative John Allen, Jr. article(s): A church more willing to fight back; Cardinal Angelo Scola, an interesting intellectual; Christians and Islam; Christians in Sudan; A new history of Vatican II.

Finally, Father Jim links to two excellent posts by his soon-to-be colleague (we pray), the convert to Rome and former Episcopal Priest Father Alvin Kimel: Become a Papist? Inconceivable! and The undeniable, offensive, glorious fact of Rome.
