Mothering and Justice, by Juli Loesch Wiley In our static links, I’ve tagged our link to the journal Caelum et Terraas “how Peony discerned her vocation.” Articles like this one were what woke me up to the fact that I didn’t really like being single, that I really wanted to get married. I had never… Continue reading Mothering and Justice

Michelle responds….
here. I am frantically busy today and won’t have time to address her objections point by point. Michelle’s first principle seems to be that breastfeeding in itself is an act that, like defecation, “bodily housekeeping,” blowing one’s nose, and the marital act, should be performed in private. I believe this premise is incorrect. Breastfeeding is… Continue reading Michelle responds….
Aves and vales
Vales first: looks like Vociferous Yawpings is bowing out. Bummer. I’d read it just for the title. Aves: Speaking of Caritate Dei, Robert Diaz is inviting everyone to check out his group blog Eternal Rebels, which has a cool Chestertonian title and some new members.

Vacation time and benefits in European… Continue reading More on economics

Shopping the Rerum Novarum way
Sparki had a good post a couple of days ago on avoiding Chinese-made products. Davey’s mommy picks up the discussion and links to this article on the fight to keep Wal-Mart out of the little town of Abingdon, Virginia. I would like to add to the discussion, but my thoughts are all a-jumble and today’s… Continue reading Shopping the Rerum Novarum way
The TSO Home Library Invitational…
is here. I wonder if Burke and Pieper count as “major philosophers”? Oh well, it wouldn’t make a difference in my results: “the downtown library serves most of my needs.” Actually I order my library books online and go to the branch to pick them up.
