I have almost completely given up reading the comments at Rod Dreher's Crunchy Con blog, which contain more sneering and ranting than I'm willing to read—more and more I am unwilling to waste even a minute of my life on such stuff. But this thread is very much worth your while. Rod asks for stories…

Bah. I doubt I will bother watching again. This one was preachier than the first and had some massive lapses in logical consistency, or at least in explication.

She is one of the saints to whom I'm very much drawn. Nevertheless I only realized tonight, when I opened up the Magnificat, that today is her feast day. As there are still some forty minutes left before midnight, I can still mark the day with a few of her words from the paragraphs reproduced…

Another note from my perpetual consideration of the question of the differences and relations between the sexes: Dawn Eden has a fascinating post on the number of men attending her readings because they are trying to get control of their sexual impulses and behavior and are finding little or no help.
