My car is giving me trouble, so while I’m chatting in the grease pit, take a look at the long version of the Jim Caviezel adoption story.
Eric Pavlat on teaching the Frankenstein novel.
The Sobran Method of teaching Shakespeare - very cute piece: When Joe was learning to read, I made him read aloud a single sentence from The Tempest:
“Monster, I do smell all horse-piss; at which my nose is in great indignation.”
(You won’t find that one in books of great quotations. Never mind the context. Joe didn’t need context.)
Joe giggled madly. He couldn’t even finish the sentence. That was all I wanted. A naughty laugh. You know grandfathers. Incurably silly. Eager to corrupt youth.

He also has a very thoughtful two-part exposition on Catholic Dissent and Minimum Wage.
The debate about Cardinal Egan and Rudy Giuliani goes on. I still say John O’ Connor would have handled things in a much more pastoral manner, and he wouldn’t have needed a push from Novak to do it.

A Great Pro-Life Story
This particular story that I read late last week really awed me.Jim Caviezel, the star of the blockbuster film The Passion of the Christ, told an interviewer that he had been challenged by a friend who was not pro-life to
