Presence

Apparently, yesterday was interfaith day; Back of the Beis reports that a group of Cardinals visited the YU Beis Medrash. The New York Times wrote an article describing the meeting. Yoel Oz (a YU blogger I recently found, whom I also wish had an RSS feed) describes his first-hand account, including the discussions he had with the Cardinals.

Also from the Times, it appears that the Pope may not have given his approval to The Passion (is there a second Jesus this picture?). Whether the film has papal sanction or not, its very existence ruins one of my best lines; I've been saying for years, "I'll just wait for the movie."
