Someone asked below how I happen upon the books I read. Like everything else in my life – randomly. I do have a stack of books on my desk that are crying out to be read, books that people have very kindly sent me for review. I am about six months behind on all of…

This is interesting: The ranking member of the Senate Committee on Finance has launched an investigative review of possible misuse of donations made to Without Walls International Church and Paula White Ministries, along with five other Christian organizations.

The power by…

From the Aggie Catholic: The USCCB is once again re-writing their statement on political life. In a media release, they gave contact information where you can ask for a draft of the document. I did so, and got a draft of the new document they are working on. … Here is a sampling – warning,…
