Just had a nice interview with Dina Marie Hale of KBVM, in advance of the Catholic Women Rejoice conference in Vancouver, Washington this September. I had nearly a whole hour to blather on! I’ll post a link to the interview later, should you want to listen. Then I was grousing on Facebook about how much harder it is to speak radio than to speak to a crowd in person, because you don’t get any reaction from your audience, and have no idea... Read more

Brandon Vogt covers everything you need to know about the copyright issues surrounding the distribution of Lumen Fidei and other magisterial works. He explains what the problem is with the current system and what a better solution would look like; and he apologizes for his error and (unnecessarily, in my opinion) for his initial reaction to the response he got from the USCCB. He answers tons of common questions about this issue, and he has opened his comment box as a... Read more
And this is the expurgated version. I couldn’t quite bring myself to crap up the Register even further with personal pictures, but I can bring myself to do it here! Here is our first look at the puppy, who is eight weeks old, and his name is Shane (yes, as in “Shane! Shane! Come back!”): Here he is in the back seat, wondering who the hell we are, where his mommy went, and why we didn’t think to borrow a... Read more
From some “bro-choicers” — a cheat sheet with four reasons why Texas guys should oppose #HB2. These males — I can’t bring myself to call them “men” — shed a few crocodile tears over the health and safety of women, should — horror of horrors — abortion clinics who perform surgery be forced to adhere to the same health and safety standards of your typical LASIK eye clinic. Because, as we know, women will only be safe once abortionists are free to shove sharp tools... Read more

[This is the second part of my interview with Steve Gershom. I posted the first half yesterday. Gershom has also written a four-part series about orientation change on his own blog, SteveGershom.com.] Have you had any bad experiences with Christian organizations who try to bully or shame you into becoming heterosexual? I know those things exist, but I’ve never seen them. Any organization I’ve come up against, there’s always been some good and some bad. You spoke about “strands of... Read more
On June 19, the ex-gay ministry Exodus International issued an apology for the harm it has done to LGBT people. The organization is now shutting down.Many secular organizations who embrace homosexuality as healthy are overjoyed to see Exodus go; but many Christian organizations — even those who see homosexual attraction as disordered — are also glad. Aaron Taylor of First Things, for instance, says that Exodus’ views and methods show that their idea of heterosexuality is just as disordered as... Read more
