Tommy Lee Jones’ new film, which he not only stars in, but also directed, is called The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. In this Boston Globe article, he discusses his artistic inspiration….guess who? Flannery O’Connor matters to this movie first because Jones wrote his cum laude thesis at Harvard on her. Second, family members of…

A NCR(egister) profile of the Steelers’ owners. Bishop Donald Wuerl said the Steelers and the Rooneys have quietly bolstered the morale and financial welfare of the Pittsburgh Diocese for more than 70 years. “Dan Rooney, though a private man who does nothing to promote himself, is a fixture in the diocese,” Bishop Wuerl said. “The…

No, not C.S. Lewis, but apparently John Danforth. Jack Danforth wishes the Republican right would step down from its pulpit. Instead, he sees a constant flow of religion into national politics. And not just any religion, either, but the us-versus-them, my-God-is-bigger-than-your-God, velvet-fist variety of Christian evangelism. As a mainline Episcopal priest, retired U.S. senator and…

We could post about ID every day, and perhaps we should. Here’s a link for today: A Godspy interview with Dr. Michael Behe. Behe is a biochemistry professor who brought questions about evolutionary theory into the popular mind years ago with the publication of his Darwin’s Black Box. Angelo Matera interviews him: Still, you’re theorizing…

Peggy Noonan, always good, is quite sharp today in a rather bloggy-like column. Good stuff. Frustrated, but good stuff. Nice remembrance of playwright Wendy Wasserstein, who died Monday, as well.

At Mere Comments, Lee Podles reports on a priest accused of abuse, and makes some connections.
