I trust that a number of you remember the audio publication St. Anne’s Pub. Well, their reboot now has liftoff, to mix a metaphor, and this edition in on Legacy — an interview with me, my father, and my son. It was a fun business. If you want it, and why wouldn’t you?, you can …
Whose Interpretation Is Being Gored
“A hermeneutical rule of thumb (and quite a good one, I might add) is that unclear verses should be interpreted in the light of the clear ones. But however wise this is — and it is wise — we also have to distinguish between verses which are unclear, and verses that are excruciatingly clear but …
Echoing Scripture
“Not only do we speak biblically when we call the baptismal font the laver of regeneration (which it certainly is), we also speak biblically when we say of multitudes who have been presented at that very same font, that they are vipers, sons of the devil, unwashed pigs, whitewashed tombs, blind guides, tares planted by …
A Long and Winding Road
We have already seen that Christ is the foundation of every true form of liberty. Civic liberty is an impossibility for a people who are enslaved to their lusts.

Well, That Was Nice
While flipping through my latest edition of Chronicles — a magazine I recommend to you, by the way — I came across an article by Jack Trotter entitled “Conservative Education: Caveat Emptor!” It was a good article, and while I didn’t agree with all his criticisms of the other colleges he discussed, I really appreciated …

“This is life in the visible church, and I really think our discussions of clerical garb should always start with the muck boots” (Against the Church, p. 178).
In a World Gone Crazy
In a world gone crazy, it is important for us to learn how to see the root causes. I use the phrase “root causes” deliberately, because it is the kind of thing that liberals love to appeal to, whether we are talking about race riots here, or barbarity in the Middle East. But when they …
