Another Maniac Exercises His Sacred Second Amendment Rights

By Adam Minihan | June 6, 2014

…in my backyard, a few hundred yards from people I know and care about. Everyone I know is okay, but one family’s son (a boy my son’s age) is dead and three others are wounded in the umpteenth act of meaningless gun slaughter here in the Land of Meaningless Gun Slaughter. Meanwhile, the Onion captures…

Just read your post in which you quote Aquinas in defense of Francis. I love to see writers highlighting the distinction between justice and charity in regard to that heinous swear-word, “redistribution.” I wanted to share a recent piece of my own on just this. It represents the 5th part in a 6-part series on…

…to the current hysteria in the Anglosphere media surrounding Tuam. As I suspected, the portrayal of the home as Ireland’s Dachau is wildly overblown.

A reader cries out

By Adam Minihan | June 5, 2014

“What do we say about the 800 dead children buried in a septic tank in Tuam, Ireland–by nuns?” I think “Horrible and shameful” and “Kyrie Eleison” is a perfectly appropriate response.

A Marked Man: Should Catholics Get Tattoos?

By Adam Minihan | June 5, 2014

In fact, an estimated 40 million Americans have at least one tattoo, and tattoo parlors are one of the fastest growing businesses in the U.S. With the increased popularity of tattoos comes the question of their morality.…
