If I had a gun

For every blog that I have watched
\n
I could arm a town the size of Abilene\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Church of the Masses<\/strong>: Why artists can\u2019t accept aesthetic relativism\u2013a dialogue:<\/p>\n

\u201cWriter Friend: \u2026I could go on about what\u2019s wrong with anything\u2026 but what\u2019s the point? <\/p>\n

\u201cBarb N: Because we want to be great artists<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thought Balloons<\/strong>: These <\/a>are really pretty covers. Like broken-up Soviet realism. Og like. (Yeah, that really shored up my anti-aesthetic-relativism stance\u2026.)<\/p>\n

A Volokh Conspirator<\/strong> on France\u2019s hostile secularism<\/a>. Relapsed Catholic points out <\/a>that headscarves are often worn because women fear they\u2019ll be attacked without them; I like how thoroughly the French government is avoiding addressing that <\/em>problem.<\/p>\n

Bishop Accountability<\/a>. Tracks news, court documents, etc. related to Catholic clergy abuse. If you check out this site I strongly recommend you also take a look at Amy Welborn\u2019s <\/a>site (which is where I got the link), since she reminds us that while these sites are absolutely necessary, they\u2019re necessary as a way of cleansing the Church and returning us to focus on Christ.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
