This is exactly what I was talking about in my last post. These are normal parents doing normal things, but an extreme try-hard judge and school district stopped them from acknowledging reality.
Normal people just need to keep this up and society will eventually heal.
A federal judge ruled that parents cannot wear pink wristbands with an XX on them to a high school sporting event
In the final stages of a (currently very long) essay on Fr. Vincent McNabb O.P., a dominican friar and Catholic radical of the interwar period, deeply influential on Dorothy Day, Chesterton, Maritain and (I strongly suspect) J.R.R. Tolkien. McNabb’s activism was in part an extension of the Arts and Crafts movement’s political expression,…

Recorded an hour and a half with Bob McGinn. He goes (very) hard in the paint on everything: his series, 40-yd dash, anonymous scouts, film-junkie discourse, MOCKS, the Wonderlic, 2025 QB class, your questions.

Michael and Satan Fight for the Body of Moses
Commentaries on the Letter of Jude are more interesting than you might expect. There’s a lot going on in these 459 words. F’rinstance, Jude 9 is a real rabbit hole: ”But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounc…

He fled violent gangs in El Salvador that were threatening him and his family.
A U.S. court protected him from deportation. He got a work permit, a job, a wife, and three kids. No criminal record. Then ICE deported him anyway—by "mistake"—and dumped him into a Salvadoran prison built to house the very gangs he ran from.
No trial. No heari…

This is insightful. As a Catholic — a cradle Catholic, but an intellectual one — I spent a long time jumping, like Qoheleth, from one pursuit to another in order to find meaning, to “prove” myself, as it were. That included a lot of intellectual pursuits and attempts to master Catholic theology.
Like many who attended Steubenville — defi…

I got my first “fan” who was really just a pr0n account trolling for followers. Blocked and reported, as they say. That kind of garbage will bring the site down faster than anything else. Keep it out of Substack. And if you're engaging in this kind of behavior, you need to start praying that Jesus shows you a better way to use the gifts he gave you.

Sometimes our personal banner can become more important than being Catholic. It doesn’t matter if you follow TLM or NO. It should not be the primary focus of our faith. When you look at the Catholic church and the various rites that exist. Then you know that we all have a place at the table.
The challenge is dealing with some of the people who want to use the form of the Mass as a weapon against someone else. I see it on both sides of the endless debate. They feel that their path is the only on…

Just finished this wonderful book. A great little read in the wake of the Second Vatican Council and an insightful exposé from a Father of Vatican II.
Thank you for your soothing essay Your header pic brings on thought of a slow ride around your farm. Handsome. No green V K veggies allowed. Will being trying for little yellow tomatoes. I will be getting to water customer gardens and feed their deer. I'll be vicariously enjoying all of your gardening successes. Home grown freshly picked are the best.
Peaking around scarring in the eye that sees today. Beck to full caliber tomorrow hopefully.
Take care. Your spread looks perfect for healing and rebuilding.
Best always ♡♡♡
