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

Apologia pro vita sua...Kinda
In my defense, I've had computer outages and family reunions and a few days of single-parenthood, which is always a bracing reminder of what many parents go through all the time.

Anyway, hence the long absence. Apologies to those who have chec

Please consider posting this video and passing it along, it’s amazing. It’s great at showing the distinction between MaCain and Obama in regards to the abortion issue. Please pass this along to everyone you know. We have to get McCain elected… E

Guess those bishops haven’t heard that the stock market has crashed, 401 K’s are dropping fast, folks are out of work/or are close to losing their job, retired folks are having to go back to work, because their saving fell a lot with that market, people are losing their houses because they can no longer make payments, etc. But the bishops, who live well, don’t have to worry about any of those things, so they have decided to make the choice for president based on the candidates belief on abortion!!??
