Some of you may have read Jeffrey Hart’s piece in the WSJ on modern conservatism. Some of you might even have been following the discussion of the piece on various blogs – well, this blogger has, and has very nicely summarized the discussion and what various commentors have been saying about Hart’s piece. Much of…

At Get Religion, tmatt takes on reporting of the Pope’s homilies, one of my pet peeves. Yes, it’s easy and convenient to grab on to the political, and perhaps that’s all we can expect…but once in a while it would be great to see more…

Conscience? Bah! European Union advisory panel has issued a statement saying that medical professionals are not allowed to refuse to participate in abortions. According to the EU Network of Independent Experts on Fundamental Rights doctors should be forced to perform abortions, even if they have conscientious objections, because the right to abort a child is…

Tomorrow we are headed to Chicago. Leaving in the morning, meeting some friends from Florida for lunch (no, it’s not halfway – they’re visiting family in town), then doing ..I don’t know what for the rest of the day. On Friday I speak to, I believe, hundreds of college students gathered at this event. I…

"Yes I have sickness, but I’m not afraid…

The David Deveal piece I recommended to you is now online.

…and so on. There is a lot of interest coming out of the Vatican these days, what with the beautiful, accessible profundity of the Pope’s homilies and addresses during these past weeks, not to speak of (but we will!) the little signs, to those of us starving for Signs of What Is To Come of,…

First, from Martin Farkus, who was actually an Early Catholic Blogger, and who is back! Then, from one of our frequent commentors here, Hieronymous Blog.  The blogger is also an artist, whose work has been admired here before, and the purpose of his blog is in part: My larger purpose in creating this website is…

Online mag Slate has been on a theology-for-the-masses run of late. First off, a perfectly predictable piece from Episcopal priest Chloe Breyer (daughter of the Supreme Court Justice, btw), outlining her doubts about the Virginal Conception, which are not new to anyone who has read skeptical New Testament scholarship (aka what is taught in most…
