Catholic and Enjoying It!
(due, in part, to the happy presence of Dale Ahlquist, the American Chesterton Society, and the Chesterton Academy in their environs) is the joyous resurgence of actual argumentation as distinct from the mere quarreling or sound-bite swapping that passes for “debate” in our dumbed-down political discourse.
One fruit of this is the Argument of the Month Club, wherein people actually argue (the word means “to clarify”) and people actually think about what is said, weigh the merits, and exercise their reason.
By the way, if you are looking for a way to support really healthy Catholic education in the US, you might consider pitching some shekels at the Chesterton Academy. Wonderful school! Bright, promising kids! Awesome, dedicated (and low-paid) staff and faculty who do what they do for the love of learning and kids!
