G. K. Chesterton once said (apprently) that Distributism could be summarized as everyone having "three acres and a cow". And so a commenter named Justin is rightly confused, when he asks in the combox of Joseph Pearce's recent post on Distributism ... I don't actually know what it [Distributism] is other than everyone gets one [...]
There's an interesting discussion below in the comment section of a post by Colin Jory, in which he criticizes what he calls the "sub humanities" in academia, including Women’s Studies, Social Work (at the level of theory), Sociology, Psychology, and Education (at the level of theory) about which Jory says (my emphasis) ... in practice all five [...]
On Monday, February 11 (Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes), my actress Maria Romine will be featured on Marcus Grodi's program, The Journey Home on EWTN. She will be telling the story of her conversion from being Presbyterian to being Catholic, a journey I'm proud to say that Theater of the Word Incorporated and I played [...]

Most Christians are just like everybody else, only worse. Those with the lowest "self esteem" are, [...]
While I was busy the other day blogging about supporting Hobby Lobby, my friend Joe Grabowski started a Facebook page to organize and focus that support. Since then, Mike Huckabee has picked up Grabowski's torch and run with it. Joe has since been interviewed by Lifenews, The Chirstian Post, and others. The point is, the owners [...]

"Out, damned spot!" - so saith Pontius Pilate, Lady Macbeth, you and me. I was quite serious in my last post when I wrote that the (unspoken) logic behind abortion is not "An unborn baby is not a person and therefore has no rights", but rather, "An unborn baby is certainly a person, but no person has [...]
My son Colin, home for the holidays, tells me that his friend Steve, who happens to be my favorite atheist, has a unique argument concerning abortion.
