A response to Tim Rutten in the LA Times

Tim, Swing-and-a-miss with your column about Pelosi-gate. You say that this “conservative crozier waving” is about numbers, but it’s not. It’s actually about truth, specifically a truth that the Speaker knows is inherently true, but has to suppress her conscience in order to deny. The truth is that every child in the womb is an individual who deserves to exercise its own...

Oh, Those Wasted Nights

Last night, Julie and I took dinner at the home of our friends Boo & Shaun. While enjoying a spread of fabulous Chinese food, we watched the Olympics. Well, we started watching the Olympics. It was the Women’s Marathon, so we looked around for something else on the TV, expecting that NBC would show a few minutes of the running and then switch to something else. Fast-forward two hours...

Pope Benedict and the Environment

John Allen, superb columnist for the otherwise fish-wrapper-worthy NCR, has a lovely piece this week about Pope Benedict’s annual Q&A-session with clergy from northern Italy during his vacation. A key part of the session was a discussion about the Church’s teaching on environmentalism and stewardship. I reproduce the best stuff here, but it’s worth reading the entire...

Vatican: Don't Pronounce The Unpronounceable Name →

(The headline is a PDF link to the orignal document) The Congregation for Divine Worship has decided that we ought not be saying the sacred Name of God. I guess we can bury the 70’s ditty “Yahweh, I know you are near”. Good riddance. I do like the New Revised Standard Version’s footnote at Exodus 3:15, where they explain their use of “The LORD” as a...

Save a little boy's life: Are you a bone marrow... →

Little Liam McNassar, the 3-year old son of two UP alumni, is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant, but the national donor database has come up short. None of the 11 million people who are registered have proven to be a match for Liam. If you, or anyone you know, can possibly volunteer to get tested, perhaps you can help save this little boy. It’s as easy as giving blood! ...

Mark Spitz - Classy Former Olympian →

“I never got invited. You don’t go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go. Especially because of who I am,” Spitz told AFP in Hong Kong. “I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That’s almost demeaning to me. It is not almost—it is.” If the linked article is real, and the quotations are honest, then Mark Spitz is...
