This week's column at Catholic Exchange. Excerpt:

While on vacation, I flipped through Ian Lendler's Alcoholica Esoterica: A Collection of Useful and Useless Information as It Relates to the History and Consumption of All Manner of Booze. It's clever and pithy, but marred by sophomoric jibes against Christianity and the Catholic Church. Mr. Lendler is apparently one of those guys who assume every negative remark about the Church is intrinsically true and ought to be repeated.
