The film, The Big Lebowski, I mean. I saw it, I don’t get it. I know several males who would live by it, if they could. On the way home today, saw a relevant bumper sticker. So I got home and followed the trail. And here’s the site for the very real Lebowski Fest held,…

An op-ed by Archbishop Burke on embryonic stem-cell research (Someone – Eve, perhaps? – used the phrase “embryo-destroying research” or something like that. Accurate turn of phrase.” A newspaper article about St. Louis area priests’ views of Burke’s views on Communion In recent comments to KMOX and the Post-Dispatch, Burke said Catholics in his archdiocese…

My Toledo correspondent writes: At last — a response to the many vulgar anti-Catholic columns by Toledo Blade associate editor Eileen Foley (grew up Catholic, now “knows better”).

Yup, that’s it. In Atlanta, no time, really to blog, except for this… It’s a Flannery O’Connor short story waiting to happen, on a huge scale…when you’ve got the National Federation for the Blind meeting at the same time in the same hotel where many of the evangelical Christian Booksellers’ Association attendees are staying. Much…

People are writing me wondering about the blank space…I figure it’s because I have the blog set to display the last two days’ of entries, and since I’ve not blogged since last week…it’s blank. Let’s post and see if that is correct.

Reflections from Spain…and other places Speaking of the strength of Spanish Catholicism, I saw three of the country’s best known Marian shrines last week: Montserrat, Torreciudad, and the Virgin of Pilar in Saragossa. One is struck by the crowds they draw, and the palpable faith and devotion on display inside. If one were to judge…
