The Birmingham Six

September 19, 2010

Birmingham, England. Pope Benedict XVI beatified Cardinal John Henry Newman, a 19th century convert from Anglicanism. Newman was an enormously influential man in both the Anglican and Catholic churches. The beatification moves him closer to possible canonization. 

In a related story, the six men arrested for allegedly plotting an attack on Pope Benedict were released without charge. No weapons or suspicious materials were  found in their homes. The arrests had overshadowed the Pope's visit in the English media.

Makes you wonder.
