While Francis is in Brazil and points South American for World Youth Day, the directors of the Old Life Theological Society will be conducting editorial meetings and pursuing other fun on the coast of Maine. I hope to finish Allen Guelzo’s history of the Civil War, and read Mary Gordon’s Final Payments, Francis Oakley’s The Conciliarist Tradition, and William Manchester’s biography of H. L. Mencken. Probably won’t, but you can always dream.
God willing, I should be back on the grid later next week. I am sure Stellman can’t wait.
In the meantime, some considerations for cultural warriors of the family friendly variety, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant.
