10th anniversary open thread
While there
are still a few days left to September, I should note that this month marks the
10th anniversary of this blog.
It was initially started in part to serve as a kind of online supplement
to The
Last Superstition, which was published around the same time. Of the eleven books I’ve written, co-written,
or edited, seven of them (including TLS)
have appeared during the last ten years.
We’ll see if I can keep up the pace during the next ten years.

The latest on Catholicism and capital punishment

theologian Steven A. Long criticizes

Why Archbishop ViganĂ² is almost certainly telling the truth
There are
five considerations that seem to me to make it very likely that Archbishop ViganĂ²’s testimony is truthful. To be sure, given how numerous and detailed
are the claims he makes, it would not be surprising if he has gotten certain particulars
wrong. And perhaps in his passion he has
