The night before our long-awaited jaunt, We kept a vigil, praying for a catch, And when the Sun arose we donned our boots And met a guide who taught us how to cast. He showed us how each lure would trick the fish And how to read the water’s different signs Of shadows in the froth and turbulence Amid the rocks where trout were known to hide. Despite this perparation and our hopes, A scrawny rainbow was our only prize And even had it been enough to keep, We had to let it free before it died.

I’d never seen a bird’s eye close before, Until the fine and clear September day A sparrow crashed into the glass and lay Where it had fallen, gaping to implore. I should have given it the coup de grâce But knew I couldn’t bear to see it bleed And thought our neighbor’s cat could do the deed As well as I, and so I went across The grass and laid it in a place I found To shade it from the blue and cloudless sky.
God of the Remnant: The Plight of Minority Ethnic Groups in Africa
Is there a unique significance for minority ethnic groups in the biblical theme of God’s preservation of a remnant? Sunday Bobai Agang, a Nigerian theology professor, explores this question in his concise book, God of the Remnant: The Plight of Minority Ethnic Groups in Africa. Agang argues that God, because of his character and covenants, preserved and used remnants in the past, and therefore can and will use remnants––minority African ethnic groups––today.
Is Forcing Private Schools To Mask Up A Veiled Threat To Religious Liberty?
What was the point of Virginia’s Aug. 13 public health emergency declaration on masks in schools if, as Gov. Ralph Northam asserted a week earlier, school districts were already required by existing law to follow federal guidelines requiring masks for children as little as two years old? Unfortunately, the Virginia health commissioner doesn’t tell us in his order, but the text points to the reason: because it includes private schools where the law does not.
Resisting a Secularized American Founding
Did America Have a Christian Founding? Separating Modern Myth from Historical Truth. Mark David Hall. Nashville: Nelson Books, 2019. The argument over what it means to be “American” predates the War of Independence, but this fundamental question of identity has lost none of its gravity. It is especially contentious at present, when social and political polarization has sharpened dramatically with disturbing consequences.
Moral Imagination in a Post-Constitutional Age – - Joshua Bowman
The claim that the United States is now in a “post-Constitutional age,” requires even less explanation than just a few months ago. One need only turn on the television or scan Twitter to observe how quickly fear, rage, sentimentalism, and talk of “revolution” can obliterate boundaries once erected to limit government, moderate factions, and protect fundamental rights and liberties. The response of government at all levels to the COVID-19 pandemic has quite blatantly violated Constitutional rights.
Review of Religion in the Public Square
Religion in the Public Square: Sheen, King, Falwell. James M. Patterson. University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019. Patrick Deneen’s provocative book, Why Liberalism Failed (Yale, 2018), argues that “liberalism has failed because liberalism has succeeded.” The seeds of self-destruction were sewn within the liberal tradition from its very inception, Deneen argues, and now manifest themselves in predictable ways.

What Hotel Owners and Operators Need to Know About the CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, President Donald Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act also known as the CARES Act. The CARES Act includes a number of important programs intended to provide relief to eligible employers and employees across different sectors, including the hospitality and foodservice industries. However, employers should also be aware of the potential consequences of participating in one or more of these programs.

Client Alert: An Introduction to the Doctrines of Impossibility and Frustration of Purpose
Wednesday, March 18, 2020 Even in its early stages, there is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying social distancing, quarantines, mass-closings of businesses and institutions, and governmentally-mandated restrictions on public assembly, travel and dining-out, have rendered many pre-pandemic contractual obligations difficult, or impossible, to perform.

Who Do You Think You Are? Identity in the Twenty-First Century
The nature of identity is an ancient question—one that has become harder to answer in the modern age, even as it has become more central to our debates and disagreements. The opposing forces of centralization and decentralization in how we define ourselves are paralyzing civic engagement and threatening our future. If we are to do anything about it, we must understand how we got here.
The Supreme Court Chases Rainbows
For all the pomp and protests, the Supreme Court’s decisions today in Hollingsworth v. Perry and United States v. Windsor have not changed anything. The supreme majesty of the Universe and the orbits of the celestial spheres are unmoved from their appointed courses. The sun and the moon still shine. The grass is green and the sea is blue. The laws of physics remain inviolate. God’s covenants with his people are unbroken.
Catholic Hardware Store Sued for Refusing to Sell Gay Extension Cord
The Catholic owners of “Joe’s Hardware” in Atchison, Kansas are defending themselves against a federal lawsuit that accuses them of violating equal protection laws because they refused to sell a same-sex extension cord to a customer last month. The plaintiff in the lawsuit is Flip Rosco, a poodle trainer from Greenwich Village. During a press conference announcing the lawsuit, Mr. Rosco caused some initial confusion when he was asked what he was doing in Atchison in the first place.
Jim Gaffigan: ‘There’s nothing normal about being Catholic …’
On July 15, “The Jim Gaffigan Show” premieres on TVLand, but fans have been able to watch an episode online — click here to watch (hurry, it’s only available through May 29) – for more than a month now. But, “The Bible Story” is not the first episode of the show. The show is a fictionalized version of the life of stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan (as himself), his wife, Jeannie (played by Ashley Williams), and their five children, all stuffed into a two-bedroom New York City apartment.
Liberty, Lies, and Statistics
It’s easy to lie with statistics, but to completely invent data and then publish it in a peer-reviewed journal takes a lot more effort–and some serious chutzpah. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what Michael LaCour appears to have done in a study which purported to show that people more readily changed their position on same-sex marriage if they spoke to a gay person about the issue than if they had the same conversation with a straight person.
Congress, Catholics, and the Vanishing Pro-Life Democrat
Yesterday, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released some statistics on the religious composition of the new 114th Congress, which includes more Catholics (with 164) than any Congress in history. That’s about 31% of Congress that identifies as Catholics, compared with about 22% of American adults. Sadly, while the number of Catholics in Congress reaches an all-time high, pro-life Democrats in Congress are on the verge of extinction. But first, some good news for Catholic Democrats.
Mary Landrieu thought this was clever
Not all Senate races are over. (No, I’m not just talking about the close vote still going on in Alaska.) I mean, no candidate got over 50% in Louisiana. So that Senate race is going to a December 6th runoff. It’s a contest featuring incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu, a Democrat who voted for Obamacare and has a 100% pro-abortion record since 2008. And yes, she claims to be Catholic! But Louisiana is trending Republican.
