“But the liberal method is to deny that there is an antithesis. ‘We are all saying the same thing really! C’mon, people, now smile on your brother, etc.’ This tendency is very popular these days, and it explains the common treatment of Christians. If there is no antithesis in the world, then the one intolerable …
In the Prosecution of Their Errors
“And the Lord may not only justly deprive of such common gifts, but even or ordinary reason and judgment, whereby men become, at least, in the prosecution of their errors, absurd and unreasonable, without all capability of seeing the weight of a reason, or receiving a conviction, or observing their own folly, and to carry …
FYUI
“Useless, meaningless statistics flood the attention of the viewer. Sportscasters call them ‘graphics’ in an effort to suggest that the information, graphically presented, is a vital supplement to the action of the game.

That Monday, after registration and kicking off with some history lectures, the party begins with St. Brigid’s Feast. Last year we consumed vast quantities of bone-in chicken swimming in a …
