I just bought the new U2 album entitled No Line on the Horizon for my iPhone from iTunes and there are other good songs with Catholic themes. I have always liked U2 but even more when they do this kind of thing.

I took my oldest daughter Cindy to a U2 concert in Detroit when she was 7 years old (around 1984). Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Hey, I raised my kids somewhat differently than most families and the result is in the pudding 🙂

    Interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed that was the song’s theme. I also love U2 and have since “War” came out, but I think “No Line on the Horizon” is overall one of their weakest efforts.

    not being a world traveller, and only having seen video and images, I wonder where the video is shot – possibly the Alhambra? don’t know what to make of this juxtaposition if anything.
