"No, these churches have not lost their snap, crackle, pop."
-George Weigel on the state of seemingly empty churches in European cities; there is a difference, Weigel pointed out, between "empty" and "depressed."
George Weigel spoke at a fabulous fundraising dinner party for the World Youth Alliance in New York last night; I was there, and I am sitting on the official transcript of his remarks for the highest bidder. However, his RICH anecdotes on the Anglican Communion, the Pope, and Vatican dialogue with Islam are fair game and will be showing up here for a while...(and let it be known that I- barefoot, disheveled, confused, bathrobed- finally met the the august and formidable CNN-commenting and world-shaking Mr. Weigel, official biographer to Pope John Paul II, having just woken up from a much needed nap in the President's Suite of the WYA. AWKWARD. I figure my children will enjoy hearing about that one someday...)
