Steele Meets Steel

Amercan Papist brings us the story of the Catholic and pro-life Michael Steele being made RNC chairman.
With all proper reservations a given, let me just say what a cool name. Sounds like time for some Hammerfall:

James Bowman on a revival of A Man for All Seasons

See his article, “Enemies of the Good“:
Mr Brantley’s characterization of Bolt’s Sir Thomas as a study in “monolithic goodness,” like Mr Lahr’s rather comical attempt to use the word “hagiography” in its common, pejorative sense in describing a literal saint’s life, is a tip-off that what we have here is our old friend nuance, the [...]

Paladins of Tolerance strike at country populated with lots of darker-hued people

From Lifesite:
The European Union’s Intergroup on “gay rights” has demanded that all foreign aid to Nigeria be suspended after that country’s House of Representatives voted to prohibit attempts to create legal “gay marriage.” The Nigerian vote was unanimous this week in favour of a bill that “prohibits marriage between persons of same gender, solemnisation of [...]

Quote of the Day–Castle Doctrines =/= Divine Right

Zippy’s latest entry here, links an earlier entry I missed:

The “when white will embrace what is right” kerfuffle.

My opinion is that since the late 80’s, I’ve watched Political Correctness poison rational discourse and bully the innocent. So it would be wonderful poetic justice if this beast turns on its masters. To put a spin on Chesterton: I wish Lowery to go to sensitivity training and Brown to say when Lowery shall come [...]

Quote of the Day–WHAT kind of dungeon?

Chris Johnson at Midwest Conservative Journal posts on Mrs. Schori, who takes a swipe at Roman Catholics for not giving communion to everyone. Normally, such things stand on their own for siliness and it’s hard to come up with any additional clever jabs, but Father Phillip pulls it off:
How strange that those Evil Catholics only [...]
