...I wasn't heading back home to CT for my nephew's First Communion. (Which I am actually really excited about. Haven't been back in New England since Christmas.)
My friend, the luminously intellected, Sr. Marianne Trouve, fsp is giving a talk about Mary and the Theology of the Body at this event in Texas this weekend. The conference is definitely worth checking out if you like cerebral meanderings through the ongoing development of dogma (our understanding of it, anyway).
Here's more info and the conference schedule....
