Home office + four children = headphones. Lately, I've favored fiddle
music. Fiddles sing with strange energy. When you first hear fairy
tales about the hero banishing goblins with a reel, you scoff. Then
you hear real fiddles.

With all the other Catholics to choose from on this planet, and previous recipients such as Dorothy Day and Teresa of Calcutta, I do not think that awarding this behavior with a medal named after St. Francis, of all saints, is appropriate.

I hope that Penny Justice can be a place where Catholics find out about Distributists, Distributists find out about Permaculturists, Permaculturists find out about Catholics, everyone finds out about Humanure - you get the idea.

Some Muslims, I might say, at least progressive Muslims, actually reverence Jesus more than we do Muhammad. Further, we have a special veneration for St. Thomas Aquinas. And we’re encouraged to go to Confession at least once a month. To a Catholic priest. Now, in proposing these fascinating ideas, I might be right or I might be wrong. But would I be Muslim? A progressive Muslim? Any kind of Muslim?

"What? Don’t tell me you haven’t been celebrating this whole time? Must be one of our best-kept secrets: the Christmas season. "

On the other hand, maybe I thought also of my wife. She gives up her body for our daughter. Pregancy, birth, nursing — plenty of joys, but also plenty of pain and aggravation. And plenty of time.

How many authors are hilarious? Brilliant? Coherent? Happy? Catholic?

Why? Because the Divine Office (also called the Liturgy of the Hours) is like a choo-choo train, or one of those pill organizers with all the little boxes. If you can master that concept, you’ve got it made.
