Church's stand on Communion leaves one question: What would Jesus do? | Instead of reaching out to communicants at a time when the church can hardly stand to lose them, it instead gives families like the Coynes yet one more reason to abandon the Catholic Church. Make no mistake, though: The church abandoned them first (Editorial, The Lowell Sun, Mass.)
Jewish Passover traditions appeal to Christians | Mary Lenihan said she will have a "bigger Passover than Easter" this year. The Catholic is not converting to Judaism, but she's one of many Christians showing a fascination for Jewish traditions at the time of year when the two faiths' principal holidays, Easter and Passover, nearly coincide (Daytona Beach News-Journal, Fla.)
For the record | Christian Legal Society doesn't take a position on whether homosexuality is a choice (Los Angeles Times)
Hippity-hoppity Easter hypocrites | It's a bit surprising to hear conservative talk radio rush to the defense of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs (Editorial, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
Arrests won't stop looting of antiquities | It's not as bad as Afghanistan prosecuting a man and threatening him with the death penalty for converting to Christianity, but it smacks of the same unreality: Israel is threatening to prosecute a distinguished archaeologist for purchasing some Dead Sea Scroll fragments from Bedouins who apparently found them in a Judean desert cave near Ein Gedi (Hershel Shanks, The Jewish Week, New York)
