Mudblood Catholic: Summer Reading Program
http://mudbloodcatholic.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-reading-program.html
A conscientious objector in the culture war. Saturday, July 4, 2015. I'm going to be spending a week hiking in the Adirondacks, and I'm not sure how quickly I'll be getting back into things afterwards; the massive technicolor net-vomit (from every viewpoint) that succeeded the recent SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage has me rather tuckered out, emotionally and intellectually. First, my friend Bill Hoard, who typically hosts the writers' group Pints and Prose. Book and blog) and Slave of Two Masters. Has been...

Mudblood Catholic: March 2015
http://mudbloodcatholic.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
A conscientious objector in the culture war. Monday, March 30, 2015. Named for the famous incident in which Jesus blasted the fig tree. His sole miracle of destruction - this is also the date (ritually, at least; the precise chronology of Holy Week in history is notoriously difficult to work out from the Gospels) of the cleansing of the Temple. At the back of the Christian moral code. We find a number of pronouncements about the moral law. Dorothy Sayers, The Mind of the Maker. Good Lord, deliver us.

Mudblood Catholic: I Am Publishing Une Book!
http://mudbloodcatholic.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-am-publishing-une-book.html
A conscientious objector in the culture war. Wednesday, May 27, 2015. I Am Publishing Une Book! For the last five years, I've been meeting with a group of friends every other week as we hash out things we're writing. We recently set up this website. Partly an homage to Fawlty Towers. With touches of P. G. Wodehouse), which has required me to ask them to stop in the middle of a reading more than once because I was laughing so hard. Ben also has a fairy tale, The Stone and the Song. For the last five years...

Dickens is disappointingly thin – give me AN Wilson anytime. By Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith. Wednesday, 8 Feb 2012. Dickens. not as good the second time round AP/Press Association Images. A very good novel can make a Mexican bus journey pass very quickly. I told him that I would have liked to buy far more than the twenty or so books I was able to carry away. You can have the whole lot for a million quid, he said levelly. That would work out at about a little more than two pounds a volume, I suppose. Catholi...

Mudblood Catholic: June 2015
http://mudbloodcatholic.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A conscientious objector in the culture war. Monday, June 29, 2015. Happy Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul! I'm quite fond of this feast. St Peter has long been one of my heroes: he's such a magnificent example, throughout the Gospels and even into Acts and Galatians, of someone in the process of conversion. His simplicity, in both the bad and the good sense, is something of a byword, and it's encouraging to someone like me who trips over his own feet so much. The hymn of Christ's kenosis. Has been del...

Mudblood Catholic: A Holy Hooker
http://mudbloodcatholic.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-holy-hooker.html
A conscientious objector in the culture war. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Today is the Memorial of St Mary Magdalene, a centuries-old feast of the Church. Though it was eliminated in later revisions, the Book of Common Prayer of 1549 (the first version of the BCP) still had a specialized collect in memory of her:. Merciful Father, give us grace,. That we never presume to sin through the example of any creature,. But if it shall chance us at any time to offend thy divine majesty:. The religion in which Peter...

Mudblood Catholic: Novena for Peace
http://mudbloodcatholic.blogspot.com/2015/05/novena-for-peace.html
A conscientious objector in the culture war. Collect for the Assumption of the Mother of God. Sunday, May 10, 2015. Tomorrow begin the Minor Rogation Days. Then comes Pentecost, the birthday of the Church as we know it, ruled by the Holy Ghost in the Apostles. This sequence has been somewhat disarranged by the more flexible calendar allowed by the Second Vatican Council. The Solemnity of the Ascension (which is a holy day of obligation. But picking who's to blame, or who's at least more. To blame, is a f...
