Blessed Sacrament
By

Rod Dreher on the case of Fr. Weinberger Let me tell you about a little church in a poor part of town that could use a miracle. Visiting Dallas years ago, my wife and I attended Sunday Mass at Blessed Sacrament Roman Catholic Church in Oak Cliff. In the heart of a hardscrabble neighborhood, we…
Faith in Art
By

Both High and Low…a good piece on expressions of faith in folk art Unprepossessing though it may be to some eyes, this Nativity is the work of a lifetime, and it is only one of many examples of popular art, religious or devotional in origin if not in present function, that abound in the city.…
Back Again

Well, Hello. Forgive the relatively lengthy absence, but I assume (and hope) you’ve not been hanging around here too much yourself. Hope you had a pleasant Christmas. We did – made our way down to Knoxville, to spend a few days with my dad and Hilary, my son Christopher who lives in K-Town, and my…

At the same time, prisoners elsewhere were told they could transfer in and take part in more…

Where we are, for Christmas. First, Charlotte Hays and Charlotte Allen have started blogging at the Independent Women’s Forum. It’s called Inkwell, it’s very good, although it seems it should have been called “Charlottes’ Web” or something. Mark Steyn on Europe’s barrenness By contrast, if Christianity is merely a “myth”, it’s a perfectly constructed one,…
Happy Christmas
By

No time for great thoughts, but that’s okay, because the Gospel provides us all we need know, and, as the Holy Father has said, the best response is silence. But I’ll only say (hah!) – as we contemplate the knots and paradoxes of Christian theology, and wonder about God and how it all can be,…

More miracles
By
awelborn
Odd that there were really a slew of miracles approved last week, and the Emperor got the most notice. Would that the press have noted the others, as pointed out by Michael. The list includes Blessed Gianna Beretta Molla, who may now be canonized.
