Pope Benedict in Austria: Schonborn Site Coverage

I will be very busy this weekend with an event in Washington DC (which I'll be posting about next), and as a result I can't guarantee being free to cover the Pope's visit to Austria this weekend.

As a substitute, I refer my readers to the Cardinal Schonborn Site and its coverage page.

And actually, since I run that website as well, I can't really guarantee that it will get updated either - but I'll try.

Also, Austrian-born Catholic blogger Gerald Augustinus is going to be covering the events on his blog Closed Cafeteria as an official press photographer (lucky!).

Schonborn Sighting! (May 2nd)

CWNews:

Cardinal Christoph Schönborn of Vienna has led a pilgrimage for Austrian children and their parents to the national Marian shrine in Mariazell.

The pilgrims prayed for peace and the spiritual strengthening of families, as well as single mothers.

This year the Mariazell shrine marks its 850th anniversary. Pope Benedict will travel to Austria in September to join in the observance.

Ignatius Insight has an excerpt from Cardinal Schonborn's reflection on the Fourth Sunday of Easter here.

Schonborn Sighting!

From this morning's VIS:

"The Holy Father yesterday received in audience Cardinal Christoph Schonborn O.P., archbishop of Vienna, Austria."

Tom Heneghan, religion editor for Reuters, recently published this article reexamining the status of Benedict and Schonborn on the evolution debate.

The article says Cardinal Schonborn just published a book on the topic of evolution. I believe what is being referred to is really a collection of his ongoing homilies on creation that he has been delivering in Vienna (some of which are available at the Schonborn Site, which will hopefully be updated soon).

A little dose of Cardinal Schonborn (Schoenborn)

This time he's talking about the 2005 Dover decision.

Meanwhile, Gerard has a good post of the ongoing Austrian abortion clinic debacle.

I hope that the Schonborn Site gets a good updating soon... I have a feeling it will.

Update: And if you want some video of Cardinal Schonborn ... here ya go:

"The video archives at the Vatican website seem to have been updated, a video stream (RealPlayer only, the Media Player files don't seem to work) is available here.

There is another video stream of a mass presided by Cardinal Schoenborn on St. Peter's Square available here (RAM)."

... thanks, Monika!
