Except this year and–maybe–next year, due to the Pandemic. I have no hard feelings about it.  It’s a small sacrifice for not [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A little while back I remarked on the fact that, despite the constant complaint of “liberal persecution” from MAGA Christians, the primary thing I noticed from liberal critics of Christians was not hostility toward the Faith, but hostility to Right Wing betrayal of the Faith. As I said then: What has struck me consistently is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of the reasons the gospel spread like wildfire among the poor of the Roman Empire (which was most of the Roman Empire, especially in urban areas) was that it insisted that when God had become man, he had joined the least of these in their lot. He’d lived the life of a manual laborer [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Long ago, when First Things was a magazine to be taken seriously, it espoused ideas like human dignity, the sanctity of human life, and “all men are created equal” and so forth. But then, like so much of American Christian conservatism, it hitched its wagon to the degraded post-modern conservatism of the GOP, becoming first [&#8230;]]]></description>

But then they take a look at the smirking face of a bully like Stephen Miller as he flouts [&#8230;]]]></description>
