Annual 'Red Mass'

Washington D.C.'s annual 'Red Mass' ("to seek guidance of the Holy Spirit for those in the legal profession") is scheduled to be held on Sunday October 4, one day before the U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term. A record number of the nine members of the Supreme Court - six (or 2/3) - consider themselves Catholic.

Reports indicate that the sermon will be given by Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston. Cardinal DiNardo was the first American cardinal to speak out against the Notre Dame scandal earlier this year in which the Catholic University invited pro-abort Obama to speak and presented him with an honorary law degree.

At least one report says a "strong showing" at the Mass is expected.
