“It’s 10 January 2024 and it is a Wednesday. Some time ago, I saw a movie called News of the World in which after the Civil War a former confederate officer ekes out a living wandering about reading newspaper stories from all over to people who pay a dime a head (which figures to about $2.50 now). The idea caught my imagination and here I am, a gazetteer. Gazette came into English through French but it’s origin is Italian, gazzetta, which is the name of the Venetian coin which paid for the first first Venetian newspapers in the 16th century.
Here is today’s audio ““gazette”” of Catholic things.
