face the fact that they were wrong and it is turning out to be a ringing success? As I say: this is not Lepanto. It’s architects never had the slightest intention that it should be. Read more

…in the American episcopacy. His Archdiocese is a hotbed of bustling catechesis and he himself is famous for being willing to turn everything into a teaching moment. He even answers phone calls and emails personally. Here he is addressing the current fooferah over the lesbian mothers who want to bend Catholic schools to their agenda. Read more

My good friend and former college professor, Brad Birzer, has published a book on one of the Catholic founders of the U.S.: Charles Carroll.

Likewise the new excuse that it’s a “wrenching decision.” A few years ago I had a heel spur removed–there was... Read more
