The Impractical Catholic: July 2015

http://impracticalcatholic.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Prayer for the Pope. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Anthony Esolen on reform and renewal. Let’s get straight to the point. We are not in partibus infidelibus. We are in partibus insanibus. This is how Anthony Esolen, a writer I admire tremendously, begins his latest offering for Crisis. 8220; Reform and Renewal Starts with Us. Build new schools, reform old schools, and abandon irreformable ones. Aristotle, in his Nichomachean Ethics. Take for granted that everything. Anthony S. Layne. Links to this post. Cathol...

The Impractical Catholic: Help the Kingdom of God Sisters!

http://impracticalcatholic.blogspot.com/2015/07/help-kingdom-of-god-sisters.html

Prayer for the Pope. Friday, July 10, 2015. Help the Kingdom of God Sisters! Kim Brown, Foundress, Kingdom of God Sisters. Image via LinkedIn.). That's kinda-sorta the way Kim Brown tells it, albeit in better detail and much more engagingly. For another, there's no proven formula for setting up a successful religious order or institute. Kim jokes, "I've talked to quite a few orders, and they all say, 'Don't do it the way we did it! Third, religious orders are separate entities from the dioceses in which ...

Outside the Asylum: The Roberts Central Committee

http://tonylayne.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-roberts-central-committee.html

Saturday, June 29, 2013. The Roberts Central Committee. This has been brewing for a couple of days, so it’s gonna be a long one:. You can’t tell me you were surprised by the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Windsor. I saw it coming ten years ago to the day, the day AJ Anthony Kennedy issued the majority opinion in Lawrence v. Texas. The fact is, I knew eventually we’d see such a decision because progressives were constantly trying to reassure conservatives that the Lawrence. The Roberts Court...

First, please know that I’m grateful for every reader I get … even those who violently disagree with me and wish me a painful, desolate demise. Whether you bless me or damn me, I thank God for you, dear reader. I would like to build connections with my readers. However, right now I’m not “friending” anyone on Facebook that I don’t know personally or through someone I do know. I have created a fan page for Outside the Asylum. And, again, thank you for reading me! Anthony S. Layne. Buy Tony a cup of coffee!

Outside the Asylum: June 2015

http://tonylayne.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 29, 2015. Book Review: Billy Joel biography “a hyperextended Rolling Stone article”. At least until you lost some of your snobbish pretentiousness, became more familiar with his catalogue, and grew more appreciative of his craftsmanship. In a sense, then, how you appreciate Billy Joel: The Definitive Biography , by Fred Schruers (New York: Crown Archetype, 2014; $29.00). Fails; it’s little more than a hyperextended Rolling Stone. Anthony S. Layne. Monday, June 29, 2015. Links to this post.

Outside the Asylum: Layne's Laws

http://tonylayne.blogspot.com/p/laynes-laws.html

Layne’s First Law of Ignorance:. We don’t know how much we don’t know. We don’t know how much we can’t. Ab esse ad posse. If it happened, then it’s possible. All statistical models fall prey to division fallacies. Knowing what the group does gives no certain knowledge of what the individual is doing. Layne's Second Law of Ignorance:. Ignorance is the state of not knowing enough to know that you don't know enough. The Tree Branch Law:. Because it saws off the tree branch on which the reasoner sits. 8220;A...
