I have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish. Marcel Marceau Labyrinths have a bad reputation, only because they are… Continue reading

Well, not according to the Vatican! The Vatican’s official newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, has now officially deemed “The Blues Brothers” as a Catholic classic, and endorsed it as recommended viewing for all Catholics!
