Miscellaneous Rambling

Ah, man. This is depressing: Orbis Books is issuing *James Martin's Essential Writings* as a volume in its Modern Spiritual Masters series. That's really disappointing. I've really liked what I've seen in this series. I wonder if the book will feature any passages from Martin threatening people with hell if they disagree with his politics ([like he seems to do in the last paragraph of this piece](http://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2017/01/28/i-was-stranger-and-you-did-not-welcome-me?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)).

TDE readers know I have long been interested in Buddhism. I've also long been a fan of Catholic Stuff You Should Know. The two came together in a CSYSK episode last week on Buddhism. [Here's the link](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/catholic-stuff-you-should/id412678859?mt=2&i=1000381002344&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Fast forward to minute 15:00.

Welcome to the first annual Day without Immigrants. Sigh. Everything is a parade of idiocy. I guess it was time for my Mexican friends to join. Crazy, loony days we live in.
