I only skimmed it, so maybe I missed the giveaway. But I honestly don’t know for sure, although I lean toward thinking it’s serious. Read it yourself and decide whether the author really believes it’s wrong to decide whether a baby is a boy or a girl. Things are breaking up out there High water everywhere …

And I just read this post by Neo-neocon on the subject, and thought, "I'm going to post a link to that." Then I started thinking it was familiar, and checked, and found, once more, that, as Neo says, it was an earlier post of hers, and that I had linked to it before, only two years…

A few weeks ago I asked for prayers for Fr. Matt Venuti, who had suffered a massive heart attack. Well, he's recovering pretty well now, and has posted an account of the attack and its aftermath on his blog, in four parts (so far): Heart Attack Heart Attadck: The Days After (The painkillers and the…

I think his prognosis is pretty good, but it’s bound to be a difficult time. Please pray for his full recovery. My wife and I–especially my wife, of course–have…

Well, it looks like TypePad's crisis may really be over this time. Let's hope so. This was reportedly an extortion attempt: pay us and we'll leave you alone, but there's no word on who or where it came from. Pretty despicable. Makes me think of stocks and flogging.

I had something partly written that I was going to post, but TypePad has been down much of the day. Apparently they've been the object of a denial-of-service attack, which renders a web site inoperable by flooding it with computer-generated traffic. So, later, but I do want to wish everyone a happy Easter. Or, since…

The arrogance that would make God an object and impose our laboratory conditions upon him is incapable of finding him. For it already implies that we deny God as God by placing ourselves above him, by discarding the whole dimension of love, of interior listening; by no longer acknowledging as real anything but what we…
