Welcome Frank! You are a wonderfully distinguished addition to our bloggers, and I look forward especially to your reflections on what it means to be Christian in today's muliti-religious world. What is the name of your new book on St. Francis de Sales and Sri Vedanta Desika? James Martin, SJ

Welcome Father Clooney! For those of you who don't know, Fr. Clooney introduced me to Ramakrishna Vedanta my freshman year at BC. His love of interreligious dialogue became a love of mine, leading me to write about the Song of Songs and a mystical Hindu poem for my senior thesis. He is one of the best men I have ever met and i was certainly sad to see him leave BC. I know that he has been welcomed at Harvard and hope he has found his home away from home!

I'd just add that the parish at which Fr. Clooney assists on weekends is constantly edified by his presence, poise, and preaching. We are privileged to count Frank among us as a parishioner and as a presider.

Welcome Father Clooney! Harvard is blessed to have you. Please keep alert for the local priestly society of the holy cross, also known as the schemers.Do not trust them,they employ the trick of friendship.

The people of God see the bishop of Rome as a teacher, but they also unquestionably see him as a father.
Since the death of Pope Francis, lists of his possible successors have proliferated on social media and in newspapers. Should you trust them?
