God and Girl at a Catholic College

A young writer recounts a recent graduation ceremony at a Catholic university (which she doesn't identify--don't bother following the links because they don't disclose the school's identity, either, unless I missed something). Nothing too earth shattering, given the wreck that is

Over at CE

My weekly column is up at Catholic Exchange [http://www.catholicexchange.com/vm/index.asp?vm_id=1&art_id=34331]. Excerpt: > It seems that nothing good has ever come from worrying, writing about, or theorizing about “man.” Granted, we need to consider rights and dignity and laws

Narcissism in Hollywood? Say It Ain't So.

First the story about Lennon, now this [http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/09/05/prnw.20060905.LATU045.html]. Is this old news day? > Celebrities have more narcissistic personality traits than the general population, and people with narcissistic tendencies seem to be attracted to the entertainment industry rather than

I had forgotten about the movie, but then Dale Ahlquist recommended it (with reservations) in the recent issue of Gilbert Magazine [http://www.gilbertmagazine.com/].
