Danielle Bean has an excellent article over at Inside Catholic that I so needed today. I read this and I started to cry: When a battle-weary mother stands alone in her bathroom looking with disbelief at two tiny pink lines on a pregnancy test, it’s too late for family-planning discussions of clinical effectiveness. We’ve got… Continue reading Danielle Bean: “Are We A Pro-Life People?”

I am craving everything I can’t eat: hoagies, sushi, bleu and Camembert cheese. I read somewhere that once something is prohibited, that is exactly what you want, but I… Continue reading I Can’t Eat Sushi

Solzhenitzyn’s Templeton Address: “Men Have Forgotten God” WWWTW reprints his frighteningly prescient 1978 Harvard Address: It is not possible that assessment of the President’s performance be reduced to the question of how much money one makes or of unlimited availability of gasoline. Only voluntary, inspired self-restraint can raise man above the world stream of materialism.
Is Anyone Else Tired of 40 Years of This?
Warning: This is nothing but a personal, bitter rant probably induced by hormones as a means of self-therapy. I know I have been doing a lot of that lately, but I think blogging keeps me saner in real life. Here is a great example on Baby Boomer commentary in regard to Humane Vitae. This comes… Continue reading Is Anyone Else Tired of 40 Years of This?
