Father Orthoduck is happy to reprint the following from Fr. Z’s blog. It is not the entire article. You will need to go there in order to read it, but it is quite a bit of the post. Enjoy the humor! From a reader: I have a question for you. Suppose during a EF Mass, […]

Blog having technical problems
This is a quick note to say that my blog is having some technical problems. I hope they will be fixed soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The fight for the soul of conservatism
This will be my last post on this small series that has developed on various types of conservatives. As you notice, I have posted both from the Crunchy Cons and from David Frum of the American Enterprise Institute and his interview by CNN.
