…having to live under such barbarous conditions with many so dying as a result. Oh. You thought I meant *North* Koreans? It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of how many millions of people have been quietly and privately murdered in the West since, say, WWII. I suspect our body count equal and even surpasses that of the Commies. I mean 1.4 million per annum since Roe in 1973. And that’s just the US. I wonder how many... Read more

Hey all y’all: I’m writing you because of a fantastic new opportunity to serve the Body of Christ that has come into view in the past couple of weeks. Starting this April, in addition to the blog you’ve come to know and (dare I say it?) enjoy, I will begin offering high quality, live, interactive videocasts that will help you and other Catholics to understand and live your faith more fully and also connect with others who desire to do... Read more

More Brits who need to grow a pair in the Land Where All Religions are Equally Superior to the Catholic Faith. Meanwhile, here in the US, Muslims who went to Trinity University demand that everybody bend over for their sensitivity and remove “in the year of our Lord” from their diplomas instead of just buying a freakin’ bottle of white out if it means that much to them. Putting the I in Islam. Of course, Christians could make the same... Read more

Thinks it’s a big deal that so many papists are on the court. Does anybody, for one second, think that if NPR said: With Paramount executive Joe Whitebread talking openly about retirement, attention has focused on the “who” — as in who is on the short list of potential nominees for his successor. But almost nobody has noticed that when Whitebread retires, it is entirely possible that there will be no Gentile execs on the board for the first time... Read more

Proving that, though they put up a brief struggle (as described in this 1949 document), in the long run, Hitler conquered the Netherlands. Read more

don’t be doing other people’s bidness in my comboxes. So: prayer requests like “Please pray for my neighbor’s troubled marriage and financial difficulties” are fine. Prayer requests like “Please pray for Susie Smith who is, I am pretty sure, an active adulteress, and her paramour Joe Jones, who probably embezzled quite a bit, though I can’t prove it”: not cool. If you want to gossip and libel under the guise of piety, get your own blog. Keep it anonymous. Nobody... Read more

A reader writes: Oh, and I sat down and read through the first volume of the Marian trilogy [NB: Mary, Mother of the Son, which you really do need, gentle reader] last night. Good work. I really enjoyed it and found myself laughing out loud often and I kept my wife from reading her Anne Tyler novel so that I could read aloud to her. I am not sure she got it, but I thought it was pretty funny. It... Read more

Your article on how neither the Left nor the Right knows how to get us on the path to good made me wonder about the efficacy of donating to political parties and/or candidates. What is the most practical and best thing to do? Thanks for any advice you can give. I don’t have any particular beef with donating to political candidates, just so long as they aren’t asking me to support grave and intrinsic evil. On the national stage, that’s... Read more

A reader who requested prayer the other day writes: Thanks be to God the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ for His mercy in granting my prayers. The situation is much, much better now. My humble thanks to Tyou and all who prayed for me. Thanks be to God our Father through Jesus Christ! Read more
