Monday Moaning Miscellany

It dawned on me this weekend that July 2008 marks the 40th anniversary of Humanae Vitae [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-vi_enc_25071968_humanae-vitae_en.html] . No doubt the press will be all over it. If you give me modest odds

Something for Sunday Morning

"The perfect Christian is always a bearer of peace and joy." St. Clement of Alexandria __________ Something for Epiphany Sunday On Melchior, Balthasar, and Gaspar [http://wordbytes.org/doctrine/magi.htm]. I can't vouch for everything here, but it's the best web page I'

Stuff for Saturday

Brews You Can Use

I'm not terribly enthusiastic about drinking news this week. Not only am I still worn out from the holidays (goodness, it's taking a long time to rebound), but I'm about as inclined to indulge myself right now as an anorexic is inclined to eat

NY Eve Eudemon

This year's Times Square ball: __________ My most-recent at Catholic Exchange: Blessed Are the Flexible [http://www.catholicexchange.com/node/68534]. __________ My apologies, but the holidays are keeping me from full-blown blogging. I'm back in town now, but other commitments are keeping me hoppin'

Stuff for Saturday Morning

The newest exercise "craze" (that's a little strong, but so be it): open-water swimming [http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/50-ways-to-improve-your-life/2007/12/20/take-a-splash-in-the-hudson-river.html] . My wife will vouch for it. When we
