Why is Our Lady of Fatima not in the Liturgy of the Hours? Not even in the Supplement that came with it...

Haven't watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in probably thirty years, and this movie is way campier than I remember...

Epigrams for ethics syllabi: "But the context of the novel, and nearly everything Jane Austen wrote is near ridiculous from today's perspective." "Has it ever occurred to you that today, looked at from Jane Austen's perspective would look even worse?" #metropolitan @WhitStillman

I don't know what kind of mashed-up catechesis I'm giving my children when one of them says he wants a treat from St Kathy's Pies.

At my wit's end--where to put the Epiphany blessing on our door when our door is completely white. Have you all any ideas?

The necessity here is that agreement is felt as no more than a matter of convincing each other, limited to the number in a classroom or community. But the norms of truth still implicitly operate there, and that circumstance makes it possible for them to become explicit.

Nothing quite like hearing the mouse trap snap from the kitchen, right at the end of evening prayer.

Alas, others are more immensely qualified to speak about R. Spaemann, but I agree with Anscombe: he's too little known in the English-speaking world,--and I'll do my shabbiest to see that changes. fivebooksforcatholics.com/robert-spaeman…

Some of these Oxford Handbooks are wonderful, but the whole series is getting a bit out of hand. Have they forgotten what the word 'handbook' means? It doesn't just mean a book you *could* hold in your hand; it's a book you'd almost always *need* to hold in your hand.
