A sad, sad story
A very sad case of a young intellectual nihilist who committed suicide. He left behind a 1,905 page suicide note that seems more like a dissertation than a note (replete with 1,433 footnotes and an expansive bibliography). I am so … Continue reading
Links roundup, 9.29 and thoughts on illegal immigration
First – I am approaching the 2 month mark of my re-launch of my blog. I am not sure how one measures the success of a blog. If I am to measure the success by the number of comments, it … Continue reading
Religious illiteracy
A new study shows, once again, that Americans are shockingly illiterate on matters of religion. Atheists/Agnostics had the highest score, followed (in order) by Jews, Mormons, White evangelicals, White Catholics, White Protestants, “nothing in particular”, Black Protestants, and Hispanic Catholics. … Continue reading

Blogging Day 2 of Benedict’s Trip
3 talks of interest today. The first is a talk to schoolchildren where the Pope encourages them to strive for well-rounded lives which are oriented around the highest things. In short, he calls on them to be saints. The second … Continue reading
Benedict’s fight for Europe
One of the central themes so far in Pope Benedict’s trip to Britain has been the religious foundations of the modern west, and the threats to those foundations from “aggressive secularism”. Jon Adams and I have been talking about this. … Continue reading
Protestor infatuation
Pope Benedict XVI begins his trip to Britain today. Media coverage in the run-up to the visit as well as this first day has spent considerable time talking about protests. For example, the Reuters article on the first day spent … Continue reading
