Moving on, and many, many thanks...
So...my recent vacation and related absences also coincided with an offer from PoliticsDaily.com to cover religion for them, as editor Melinda Henneberger announces here in her roundup on the site's very successful first 100 days. That means, in short, that I'll have to sign off from blogging h

Calvin at 500, Calvinism 2.0
If you thought you knew John Calvin--who turned 500 last week--you probably don't know enough. For example, that he was French, born Jean Cauvin. And if he was in fact scandalized by dancing, he was also a lot more complex than that. I explored the new look Calvin in an essay at PoliticsDaily, "Patr

Can’t the executives at Washington Post/Newsweek find something else for Sally Quinn to do? As annoyed as I am (as are most Catholics) with her comments, I also feel embarassed for her. She’s made such a hash of things. A classic case of speaking without thinking.
When the announcement was made a year or so ago that she was going to become the co-editor for the “On Faith” religion blog, I got the sense that this former “atheist” had become something of a “seeker” for the good and the truth.
