Hard Theology

Hard Theology

Science fiction grand master John C. Wright poses a long overdue question in his recent post on hard science fiction. Heinlein never penned a sequel where the bastard children of Mike the Martian, six-fingered giants educated in Martian psionic arts by the ghost of their dead patriarch, overthrow and trample…
Dear Notre Dame: Mandate Chapel Veils

Dear Notre Dame: Mandate Chapel Veils

A Catholic mother recently penned an editorial pleading with young women at the University of Notre Dame to exercise a scintilla of modesty after a group of young women in skintight leggings scandalized her sons. The emergence of leggings as pants some years ago baffled me. They’re such an unforgiving…

Sci-Fidolatry

Hollywood atheists spent the 70s, 80s, and 90s preaching a counter-gospel through movies and TV shows that went like this: "Religion has been holding humanity back. We'll usher in a bright, sexy utopia of pure reason once we free ourselves of bronze age superstition." You couldn't pick up a DAW…

The tawdry spectacle of the entire #FakeNews media, Conservative, Inc, and even elements of the Catholic academy and hierarchy ganging up to throw a bunch of innocent kids in the stocks…
Brimstone, Millstones, and Stonings

Brimstone, Millstones, and Stonings

Admittedly, I paid little attention to the Covington Catholic story that broke over the weekend, judging it yet another instance of #FakeNews directed against young, white, Christian men that would be swept under the rug with the next news cycle. I was wrong. The story is becoming a watershed moment…
Who’s Frank Pentangeli?

Who’s Frank Pentangeli?

Perusing this humanist blogger's semi-apt comparisons of various dissident Right figures to characters from the Godfather saga, one comes across this howler: Also, because of excessive pride, Fuentes is too often and too easily dismissive of views and ideas that doesn’t jibe with his paradigm, and this is especially true when…
