I want to share this news story with our New Age blog friends. It contains a teaching from Archbishop Dolan on the Communion of saints and why this means Catholics have been enjoying "harmony with the universe" much longer - and in a much more authentic way - than New Agers who are always carping about wanting to be "one with the universe."
