"Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth..."
- J.R.R. Tolkien

What to Exalt, What to Forbid
"It has been left to the very latest Modernists to proclaim an erotic religion which at once exalts lust and forbids fertility."

Clutching Faux Pearls
Sad news today in Boston, one of my favorite cities.
Said Paul: "Let's not have a culture that embraced 'The Company You Keep' now clutch its pearls over 'incomprehensible' bombings...anger at killers, and at those who hold their coats, is a proper and necessary reaction to murder...for license to engage in post-terror film criticism I take the example from Foggy Bottom after the Benghazi invasion last September. All I can say is that plenty of thoughts are going out to victims as if they died from an act of God."
Well put. Boston deserves better.
