We Are NOT EASTER WORSHIPPERS!

  The graced, sublime and genius Rachel Fulton Brown (Medieval scholar extraordinaire) reminds us of the feckless, misguided, God-less and thus sick world in which we live wherein Catholic brothers and sisters were massacred as they went to revel in the Resurrection.

The Persecution of Jussie Smollett

Oh, the terrible injussieness–sorry injustice–of the whole episode! How long really could the Socialist Republic of Cook and its capital, Chicago, carry on this persecution of poor Jussie without recognizing that the rule of law is so dead and buried here that a black, homosexual actor would have to receive some sort of preferential treatment…

My initial entry point was just to mark and compare the good, the true and the beautiful of both sports. Which…
