I forgot about this one. John reminds me that he also offered to “draw an angry cartoon guy shouting ‘DIS WOOKS WIKE COWNTWACEPTIVE MENTAWITY!!’ to add in the margins alongside controversial passages.” Maybe for the hardcover edition, eh? Read more
I am aware of NFP. Are you? I’ve been aware that it’s NFP Awareness Week for some time, now, but I’m kinda tired of NFP. I even wrote a book about it basically so I could stop thinking about it already. I’m so darn lazy, I don’t even have the energy to put together a list of helpful links – but honestly, that’s why we have Google. Seriously, you guys, I had a margarita last night at Theology on Tap,... Read more

I thought it was kind of pricy at $29.99, but ordered it anyway because I was in a rush. Turns out it’s really high quality. The puppy is extremely sturdy and much bigger than I expected, and the legs are jointed, so you can pose it. The cards and other accessories are... Read more
I’ve very graciously been invited to lead a Theology on Tap discussion this Tuesday in Keene, NH. Here’s the event description: Think “Fifty Shades of Grey” is shocking? We’ll see your fifty and raise you 5 years and 129 talks–that’s what it took for Blessed John Paul II to outline his “Theology of the Body”, in which he explained the relationship between sex and spirituality. We’re so often taught in church that sex is a black-and-white, “do it” or “don’t... Read more
Seen on Target’s Facebook page: “Corn on the Cob Survival Kit” Up next: a special truss for guiding your tootsies in the general direction of your flip flops! How about some lotion to rescue your fingertips from the ravages of pressing the OnStar button in your SUV if you get lost on the way to Starbucks? Or maybe an itty bitty squeegee for clearing the fog off your upper lip when you courageously tackle an ice cream cone? Take heart, Americans! We... Read more
