Never Let Me Go starring Keira Knightley is supposed to be released this October: Near as I can tell, it’s about a group of friends from an English “boarding school” who find out that they are actually clones who were born and raised for providing organ transplants. Kind of similar to The Island, maybe? Though, judging by the trailer, significantly … Read More

I been meaning to post this for several weeks now! Art of Manliness recently had a great article titled What is Manliness? In it, the authors examines the different cultural and philosophical definitions of manliness, concluding that, for by any man, in any situation, manliness essentially boils down to: striving for excellence and virtue in all areas of your life, … Read More
TOB Tuesday: The Golden Sea
Drawing inspiration from the song 31 Flavors by Trevor Hall and his upcoming wedding anniversary, Theology of the Body speaker/teacher Bill Donaghy has a delicious reflection the true meaning and purpose of earthly marriage: “Tell me how many songs that I must sing before I can see you in your glory, hear your whole entire story, bathe inside your golden, … Read More
Dr. Lou Just Doesn’t Understand
Coach Lou Holtz recently spoke at a pro-life fund raiser in St. Louis. A friend just forwarded me Vitae’s most recent email update which included this quote of his from that evening: “There are a lot of things in this world that I don’t understand.

I promise, this is the last of my shameless self-promotions: Thanks so much for all of the comments and emails. Unfortunately I basically got on the road right after the show and haven’t really had time to respond to anything. But I have received them and read quite a few of them.

I am Blessed
This has been an amazing experience. If you would have told me 11 years ago that one day I would be on TV sharing my faith with the entire world, I would have told you that you were completely insane!! God works in amazing, mysterious ways. I am blessed indeed. Thank you for all your prayers. Thanks to everyone at … Read More
