Been there, saw that
By

Well, now I can know what everyone’s talking about. Saw TPOTC on Saturday, as it turned out. Michael came up with the idea of me and Katie seeing it at the big AMC theater in Newport, KY, so he could take Joseph to the Newport Aquarium, all in the same complex, Newport on the Levee,…

As we read through and contemplate these reports, that’s what we’re all looking for: the First Cause. There is none, except human sin. Sorry. No easy answers on this. As Joe pointed out in a post below, this is not a new problem that anyone can blame on Vatican II. Clerical sexual abuse of youth…

Shawn McComber, who watched the New Hampshire primary hijinks for the American Spectator, goes to see the Passion As show time crept closer, some surprisingly un-Christian behavior began. A teenage couple in matching “Jesus: The Choice of a New Generation” T-shirts made out against the wall next to me without the slightest prick of self-consciousness.…
How This Jesus is Different

Stephen Prothero in the WSJ In one striking scene, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene sop onto linens the blood left behind after Jesus’ scourging at the hands of sadistic Roman centurions. Odd that these women care more about Jesus’ blood than Mr. Gibson seems to care about his character. Plainly this is not the…
