October is a great saint month: Lisieux, Francis, Avila, Bruno. October might be my favorite month of the year anyway. The great saints we commemorate during are just a kicker. * * * * * * * Pretty strong words from a bishop: "[A] vote for a candidate who promotes actions or behaviors that are intrinsically evil and gravely sinful makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy.” Link. * * * * * * * Historian Victor Davis Hanson writes about the vandals. No, not those Vandals, but the vandals that are ravaging inner California. As our country's infrastructure breaks down, things get scary. Our society has been too weakened by generations of governmental aid to deal with such issues itself (when government does everything, the mediating institutions that naturally spring up to fill societal needs disappear). In any event, it's an interesting piece. * * * * * * * Vandals always remind me of that Steve Martin skit on Saturday Night Live. * * * * * * * Kind of interesting: Top Division III and NAIA athletes who went pro.
