Nice piece from Mercartor.net on finding echoes of Flannery O’Connor in Jerusalem
John McMullen is a theology teacher at Mater Dei High School in Evansville who has now published two books of historical fiction, inspired by events that occurred in these parts:
and now The Last Blackrobe of Indiana and the Potawatomi Trail of Death:
…a true story of a French attorney-turned missionary priest, Benjamin Petit, and his mission to the Diocese of Vincennes, Indiana. Under the urging of Bishop Simon Brute, Petit joined the northern Indiana Potawatomi tribes in 1837, a year before their forced removal west. McMullen retells the story of Petit, who traveled with the Potawatomi and became part of their story.

Reader Julia sends along this link to an article in the NYReview of Books and says:
I was browsing the New York Review of Books and happened upon this interesting bit on King Lear, the torture of Guy Fawkes and the danger of being kind to traitors (recusants?) I’ve read the recent books on Shakespeare and his Catholicism and thought you might find this recognition by a non-Catholic scholar to be of interest.
The piece is mainly about the uses of power in Shakespeare and ends with the kindnesses to the tortured Glouster that have no political motive and are very dangerous to the kind-hearted persons
Chris Johnson would like us to know:
Episcopalians may have a lot of problems these days but they do one thing better than anyone else. Church desecration.
