Cardinal Rigali At Finnigan's Wake

0727rigali.JPGIf you stopped by Finnigan's Wake yesterday, you might have had the chance to see Cardinal Justin Rigali. The Cardinal appeared thanks to "Theology on Tap" — a program that brings Catholic speakers to bars and pubs nationwide:

"His topic was neither sin nor salvation, but rather his three decades as a priest and bishop in Rome, working for the three popes he came to know well as their English-language translator. [...] Jim Masiak, Finnigan's Wake manager, used the opportunity to present His Eminence with a green T-shirt bearing the bar's logo, but instead of reading "staff," it read "rod and staff."
