The big buzz today is still surrounding President Obama's declaration of support for same-sex marriage. Steve Thorngate at the Christian Century notes [1] that asking for the president's personal opinion may not be asking the right question of him, The Daily Beast asks [2] if most Catholic theologians support same-sex marriage, NPR asks how Christians who read the same Bible come to such different conclusions [3] about gay marriage, and Nancy Pelosi says her Catholic faith compels her [4]to support same-sex marriage. However, CNN takes a look at what other social and religious issues [5] are likely to be key to the election in the upcoming months.

Here's more info [6] from the Washington Post today on the bishops' investigation of the Girl Scouts [7].

Though Victoria Kennedy was denied from speaking at Anna Maria College, it looks like she will now be engaged as the speaker at Boston College's Law School graduation [8]. Read more here about controversial speakers at Catholic campuses [9].

And, fear not--new evidence unearthed from archaeological digs suggests that the Mayans likely didn't think the world was going to end [10] in December 2012.
