@DawnofMercy @gloria_purvis And yet you throw your support behind an equally awful party that was once home to most Catholics. The descent of that once proud party into its current sorry state began with McGovern in 1972. You seem blissfully untroubled by your party’s support for child surgical mutilation,

Latest interview. A great conversation with Kale Zelden on Vatican II as a "hyper object". We also discuss the AP story last week on the surging numbers of young and conservative Catholics.

Vatican II as a "Hyper Object": Kale Zelden on the "mythos" of the Council | Gaudium et Spes 22

The Council documents fade. What remains is the "viscousness" of its mythology

I am puzzled about something. I know President Biden has Covid. But his doctor says he is doing fine and is on the mend. That is great news. So why has he not made a public appearance? Heck, even Reagan and John Paul, after they were shot and in hospital, waved at reporters and

@ProfessorName I am no fan of this papacy at all. For many, many reasons. But he is still the Pope and could still do a lot of damage between now and the end of his papacy. Therefore, I think it behooves us, no matter how painful, to acknowledge when they do something good

@Frankenhouse5 Dorothy Day and von Balthasar would have heaped scorn on Millies. Ever read some of Balthasar’s jeremiads against the Catholic Left? Scorched earth. And how is what I wrote “tribal ideology?” Pointing out the fetid hypocrisy of the Left does not imply that I endorse the Right.
