I’m getting really, really tired of having to do lots of extra legwork to convince people that just because I’m a devotee of the Traditional Latin Mass I’m not some sort of a nutjob.
I have defended the SSPX numerous times, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve been doing it for the [...]

Maybe it’s just because I’ve always been a wanna-be space boy, but I’m (sort of) with Mr. Aldrin on this:
In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Aldrin revealed that he intends to lobby Barack Obama and John McCain, the two US presidential candidates, in an effort to ensure they find sufficient funds for Nasa’s [...]

Out of desperation to see something new and original, I decided to throw Sundance Film Festival Award-Winner Primer to the top of my Netflix qeue. Lauded for being a stunner of a sci-fi thriller about time travel made on a $7,000 budget, I couldn’t pass it up.

This one started years ago, when I was (as usual) [...]

Jeff Culbreath is concerned that there isn’t much time left for our country. He notes that the remanants of Christendom on which we have subsisted are quickly running out:
Today, everyone is a democrat and an individualist. It is forbidden to “appeal to authority” - especially religious authority - in the public square. Everyone is supposed [...]

Inside Catholic’s 2008 Summer reading list is online, and I contributed a few of my favorites.
In addition, I’d also recommend the intelligent, fun and fast-moving Chaos series by my fellow Virginian and Catholic John C. Wright, and the exquisite hard sci-fi Firestar saga from Michael Flynn. I’ve been tearing through both of these in the [...]

The inimitable J.D. Carriere (and I do mean inimitable) has a penchant for the sort of humour (spelled with a “u” in deference to his Canadianishness) that the world no doubt believed died with P.G. Wodehouse.
In his post today, he addresses the way a gentlemen should handle one of the trickier perils of immodesty:

Though we wouldn’t consider it an adequate reason to use NFP, a day spent at home with the kids leads, often enough, to essentially the same outcome. This of course has more to do with sheer child-chasing exhaustion, mess-cleaning frustration, or uncontrollable cathartic fits of laughter than any calculated application of the sympto-thermal method (click [...]
