Matthew Mehan on a new book on Thomas More, over at NRO And then at the Corner, a couple of posts discussing More re/heretics, Tyndale, etc.

Bill Cork’s got the beginnings of a discussion on Catholic speakers and their (our) fees over on his blog. I’ve put in my two cents. Bottom line: I’m not anywhere near the top of the list in terms of demand, and I do think that those of us engaged in speaking and published should be…

The remarkable lessons of Professor Ratzinger – Sandro Magister’s analysis. Benedict XVI spoke the latter of these words at the culmination of the nocturnal vigil in Marienfeld, before an altar beneath a starry sky. And then, all of a sudden, he added: “Dear friends, this is not a distant story that took place long ago.…

David at the Catholic Report has spoken both with the pastor of the Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation and the police chief of Carey,OH, and presents their conflicting reports of what happened at the Assumption Day Riots.

Some final thoughts that people have posted: The Roamin’ Roman was cold and wet and got sick, but still had some good moments. She also said, (apropos of someone’s remark here about the NYTIMES photo montage of WYDYouth) "everyone smokes here."

The baby is crashed on the couch, and I’m not moving him. (Actually, this morning I discovered the probably reason for…

The press coverage of the fetal pain study left out something: Well, actually, the study itself left something out. In today’s Journal of the American Medical Association, five researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, review nearly 2,000 studies on the hotly debated questions. They conclude that legislative proposals to allow fetal pain relief…

A blogger’s lament: The blog originated in January as a catch basin for mental detritus, for the kind of stuff not good enough for print, but too good to waste on casual conversation or, worse, mere thinking. But this spring I began allowing "comments," and the blog suddenly mutated. America, it turns out, is full…

Ted Olsen links to stories related to the growing hostility to abstinence among those who deal with teens and othe populations. Back in the day, "underage sex" was sometimes referred to as statutory rape. But this isn’t the only form of rape increasingly downplayed in the crusade for condoms. Pushing for condom distribution programs in…
