www.dailymail.co.uk, October 12, 2024
Most movie buffs will remember 1994 as the year that Disney's The Lion King ruled the box office. Other notable releases included Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, and Schindler's List - all films that remain deeply imprinted in popular culture.

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance became a Christian after considering himself an atheist, but he still gets in trouble for his swearing habit around his young children. That habit, he said, came about in part because his grandma, dubbed the classic Appalachian name 'Mamaw', used profanity incessantly while trying to keep a younger Vance on the straight and narrow. The tale came as the Ohio senator opened up about the origins of his faith before a crowd of Christians in Charlotte, North Carolina Monday evening. The 40-year-old Catholic says he accepted Christ in 2019 and remarked during the event how the late Billy Graham, a son of the Tar Heel State whose grave Vance visited just hours before, was influential in his own conversion. During his delivery, he issued a stark warning to the evangelists in attendance and boldly claimed Democrats are attacking religion.

The 100th anniversary of Yankee Stadium: A century ago, the now demolished stadium opened its doors a century ago

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 18, 2023
Often compared to cathedrals, America's baseball stadiums have many similarities with Europe's holy places: voted followers, ritualized traditions, countless prayers, etc. In fact, ballparks have been used for religious activities, such as the papal masses, Jehovah's Witness assemblies, and Billy Graham sermons that were regular at Yankee Stadium during the twentieth century. However, this well-worn 'cathedral' analogy struggles to reconcile the tenacity of 1,000-year-old shrines like Westminster Abbey with the fading existence of ballparks like Yankee Stadium, a 58,000-seat structure that opened a century ago today but closed its doors just 85 years later. 'It's like every other place in this world,' Cleveland's Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller said in 2008. They save all of their old buildings for history in Europe. We just tear them down here.'
