Something for Sunday Morning

"[A] virtuous life led with painful sacrifice and discipline will so deeply affect a personality that the effects of disordered impulses or even of a sinful past will disappear." Benedict Groeschel, writing in the letters to the editor in the current issue of Crisis.

Holy Card Collectors

I didn't know people collected holy cards like beer cans, but they do. The LA Times this morning ran a pretty good article about it [http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-beliefs13may13,0,779518.story?coll=la-home-headlines] . The woman featured in the article has

FBI Sting

A rather clever FBI pedophilia sting, described at The Smoking Gun [http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0511061web1.html]. Disgusting stuff, but I tip my hat to the clever G-men. It's not too often I tip my hat in that direction. You want me to describe the sting?

They became involved while working on the movie Volunteers (1985), although they first worked together in an episode of Bosom Buddies. (Wilson guest starred as a romantic
