After making it extremely clear that my stupidity was my fault and that I didn’t blame Commonweal a bit for pointing it out, I mentioned that Commonweal was being dumb to try to steal bases and claim that “This “Lefties think Obama is the messiah!” meme is really getting old. The only people fooled by it are the ones spouting it — just as the only people who call Obama “The One” are people who think they’re being satirical.” I... Read more

The purpose of the artist is patently to make a pro-life statement of course and to that degree I applaud him. However, as is the custom of our secular messianic Christian culture here in the US (much of it rooted in a sharply anti-Catholic worldview) the paradox is that the artist steals motifs from Catholic hagiography in order to send an accidentally blasphemous message which elevates his fave rave figures from American history (including people who were quite nakedly anti-Christian)... Read more

Egyptian lawmakers want to ban fake hymen Because Islam is simply another attempt to replace the freedom of the Spirit with the laws of men. The response here in the West will be, mostly, silence coupled with fretting about some Internet nut at a storefront church in Phoenix who is just about to stage a coup and impose Fundamentalist Baptist teaching on Hollywood. Read more

into rats and snitches. A post-Christian culture that will not rely on virtue to make citizens must needs morph into a security state that substitutes the small laws of ratting out neighbors for the Big Laws of a free and ordered state. When you make Caesar your God he acts like it. Read more

Joss Whedon, Firefly, and Faith. It would be fun to sit down with Whedon and try to get a bead on his views here. I think he is a self-described atheist. The trouble is that many “atheists” of his age bracket are as squishy as self-described Christians of the same age. I think “pagan” is generally a closer word, since huge numbers of Americans have a cloudy belief in something beyond this world, but feel as though trying to define... Read more

Please consider linking to this article about a recent initiative by Belmont Abbey College to be a pro-life model for other Catholic universities. The sad thing, of course, is that other Catholic universities need such a model. They should be outdoing one another. One does not get the sense that Notre Dame or Boston College administrators have a burning interest in such matters. Read more

this truly bizarre discussion of how to wedge the word “bimbo” or “floozy” into the Conservative Bible translation of Mark in order to help fix “inadequacies in the Greek” text of Mark 6:22. Favorite moment: This project really enriches my appreciation and understanding of the Bible, often in unexpected ways. I’ve learned enormously from your comments.–Andy Schlafly 01:09, 5 October 2009 (EDT) Do be sure to read the enriching comments as these guys inadvertantly reveal some of their Inner Issues.... Read more
