Hypothetical: A group of men in jeans, hoodies, and baseball caps rush your car with guns drawn. There's no evidence of LEO activity (like an official vehicle with lights flashing). Q: What are the reasonable responses? IMHO, the answers include "flee" and "use lethal force to defend yourself."

That Catholicism series was so normal. I miss that guy. The one who knew John Henry Newman had a complex relationship to “modernity.” In fact, Newman was accused of being a forerunner to Modernism. Catholics hated him while he was alive. He was considered very suspect (read: Protestant).

Another name for “Empire Christians” would be “Antichrist Christians.” The bottom line is that if Jesus is Lord, Caesar is not.

Oh man I don’t think I’ve ever taught the Holy Trinity and the Incarnation as well as I did today, but I guess I won’t really know until the quizzes and tests start coming in

It flew right over *everyone’s* heads, at least if we watched it early enough. I knew it was a loophole, I didn’t need to understand it to get the shape of the joke.

Good question. No. Today’s DATE is the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis; at that time the Julian calendar would have been off by something like a week.

Exactly 800 years ago today, St. Francis of Assisi left this world. Exactly six weeks ago, Suz and I were in Assisi, and today I’ve finally written about it in part 2 of my anniversary Rome and Assisi trip piece.

I feel like an anonymous X account with a few thousand followers replying to Pope Leo’s account with a stupid, rude attack is not a thing that demands anyone’s attention. Giving oxygen to every little explosion of outrage is probably less productive than simply, you know, breathing. Just a thought.

This recently came up re: silent movies "Are you saying serials are less than a big studio release?" And, in matters of writing quality... yeah. Yeah, I am. Serials are fun! I love them! But they were never Academy Award screenplay contenders (or Photoplay Medal) and it's silly to say they were.
