Thanks to Tom Harmon for sending along a link to this paper, touching on many of the themes we deal with in our Creation/Evolution/ID discussions He remarks: Everyone seems to accept the framing of the debate by, on the one hand, the materialist proponents of a reductionist account of evolution, and on the other hand,…

As Whitcomb reminds us in the comments below, this weekend saw Catholic-related news that should concern us all: the uptick in violence in Northern Ireland (I recently blogged on Ian Paisley’s reaction to what was happening even before this past weekend). "Worst rioting in years" is what this BBC article says: NI Police Chief blames…

Jamie at Ad Limina gives a thorough, thoughtful reading of Bishop Wuerl’s recent work on Catholic politicians and Communion.

I keep hearing people talk in almost celebratory tones of the "New Orleans diaspora." Please make note of this bit of ettiquette: Homeless, jobless people are not comforted by your predictions that their tragic circumstances will one day be considered historically significant and studied in text books by graduate students who will ponder the implications…

Is there a different, parallel universe of which I’m not aware? Does former NCR editor Arthur Jones live in it? It’s a fierce screed.
