I Gave Up

from Ben's mom

I gave up on Aristophanes. I didn't like his crude humor and decided that I could tell Ben so if he ever came home talking about Aristophanes. I read enough to form an opinion and now I'm on to Herodotus.

In the Media

Reduced to the state of silent witnesses, Christians today are doomed to become soldiers in a lost war. Their fights—especially fights on societal issues, since they concern principles and virtues—lead nowhere, and moreover have no chance of success. I am not sure the approach has been a wise one. Christians who protest tirelessly and try to prevent or overturn rogue laws on abortion or assisted reproduction can only be successful by first implementing a spiritual revolution. First convert people to Christianity, to the intrinsic dignity of each embryo, and then you can abolish abortion. Otherwise it would be like trying to impose confession on non- Catholic peoples: terrorist nonsense. Belief and adherence to principles precedes the acceptance of laws. Read Chantal Delsol's piece
