Throwback – Me on the Catholic Church
I just ran across a paper I did Sr. year in college in a Catholicism class. I thought it was a pretty good summary of where I still stand on many issues and it gave a pretty good snapshot of the Church in the meantime… It also has lots of big words which I probably…

I added a new list of links in the sidepane, this time of the highlights of Sola Nobilitas Virtus. Kinda just the best things I feel I have written, or those which are the most pertinent to contemporary issues (not all of the writing was apparently created equally).
