  • Bienes, Avellino, Madoff and The Church

    Bienes Knighted By Catholic Church Well, the Sun-Sentinel, apparently in a panic over the New York Times beating it to the story, finally reported on the connection between Fort Lauderdale philanthropist Michael Bienes and his partner, Frank Avellino, to Bernie Madoff, the $50 billion Ponzi schemer. I've rarely seen one newspaper so derelict in reporting a major story in its own back yard -- and its offering today is nothing but a small pile of dung. More on that late

  • Holocaust Denier Blessed by Pope, Cursed by S. Florida Jews

    This week Pope Benedict XVI reinstated Bishop Richard Williamson after 20 years of excommunication from the Catholic Church. Williamson' excommunicable offense was being consecrated without the Vatican's consent (which sounds like some hardcore Da Vinci Code shit, right?) but the offense that's caused an international uproar is Williamson's denial that the holocaust happened. The church says Williamson will be "rehabilitated."That's not good enough for members of the South Florida Holocaust Docu

  • St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Monsignor On Madoff Victim List -- UPDATED

  • Catholic School to Go Public

    St. Stephen Catholic School in Miramar will close at the end of the school year and the space will be taken over by a public charter school this fall, according to Sister Mary David Magee, the school's principal.   On St. Stephen's Facebook page (Sorry, no link. You'll have to log onto your own account and search yourself), it says the school will be run by a company called Somerset Academy. "Religion will not be taught nor spoken about (just as a regular public school)," a Facebook posting

  • How Does One Recognize the Four Year Anniversary of the Death of a Politically Exploited Brain Dead Woman?

    The answer, apparently, is to exploit Terri Schiavo one more time, as Ave Maria is doing today. The Catholic city, which lies in the swamps east of Naples and was bankrolled by a pizza delivery baron, is staging a mass in Schiavo's honor. Because Schiavo was -- before she slipped into a persistent vegetative state -- a devout Roman Catholic. Or, more accurately, because her brother Bobby Schindler is a devout Roman Catholic who seems intent on keeping this circular debate swirling into the next

    A story in yesterday's Sun-Sentinel says the Mormon Church has plans to build a new temple somewhere in western Broward County. It will be one of five new temples built in the United States and abroad and is expected to help serve the state's roughly 100,000 members living in Florida.  Now, SoFla Mormons trek to Orlando to hear the word. Local leaders called the announcement Saturday "a blessing." But one local Mormon questions whether the new templ
