Philadelphia Catholic Outsider: February 2012
http://philadelphiacatholicoutsider.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. As everybody knows, St. John Neumann founded our Catholic school system. What's often forgotten is that the first thing he had to do was face the trustee crisis. Only after he established the principle that he had control of the diocese, and not lay parish councils, could he go ahead with building schools. Maybe his successor will take control from the planners, end the school closings, and open some schools. Labels: Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Saturday, February 25, 2012.

Q.E.D.: Citizen Kane Intervention
http://quodestasedixit.blogspot.com/2015/08/citizen-kane-intervention.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Some conservatives need an intervention when it comes to Citizen Kane. Unfortunately, this group includes talk show hosts like Michael Savage and Mark Levin. Donald Trump has never been elected to a school board. He has never been mayor of a town. He certainly has never been in Congress or the Senate. What makes anyone think his policy ideas are worth 2 cents? There's no nicer way to put it. Is Dr Ben Carson a liberal? Is Rick Santorum a liberal? Is Rand Paul a liberal? 160; ...

Q.E.D.: Cokie Roberts Praises King's Bench
http://quodestasedixit.blogspot.com/2015/06/cokie-roberts-praises-kings-bench.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Cokie Roberts Praises King's Bench. Hat tip to Grabien. The Supreme Court is for our inability to self-govern, says Coked-Up Cokie Roberts. The pundit says that the court exists "to take over from" the democratic process. Because, you know, democracy just doesn't work fast enough for Ms. Roberts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Book V, Chapter Two. Henry St. John. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Lord Shelburne, Part Three.

Philadelphia Catholic Outsider: August 2013
http://philadelphiacatholicoutsider.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 13, 2013. What Should Be Done? A commenter asked a question after the "Why Does St. Joachim Have To Go? Post I wrote an answer, but couldn't get it to appear as a reply to the comment, so I'm putting it here as a new post. Here’s the question: assuming that the archbishop has a specific goal for the number of parishes the archdiocese should have, how should we get there, given the present situation? I’m going to take this question to mean "What should the archbishop do right now? That inv...

Philadelphia Catholic Outsider: What's Behind the School Closing Campaign?
http://philadelphiacatholicoutsider.blogspot.com/2012/02/whats-behind-school-closing-campaign.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. Whats Behind the School Closing Campaign? The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies. Robert Conquest’s Third Law of Politics. Now, there’s a good chance that you don’t believe this. Why would the employees of the archdiocese act like that? Aren’t they Catholics? Although most people base some of their. Actions on their concern for others, the. Acting in the political marketplace have.

Philadelphia Catholic Outsider: December 2012
http://philadelphiacatholicoutsider.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 17, 2012. Why Did the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Launch the School Closing Campaign? The employees of the archdiocese who are behind this campaign do not believe that they are failing at running a Catholic school system. They think they are succeeding in achieving goals of their own. There's a short explanation of what's going on here. A much longer discussion of what they are up to, with supporting evidence, here. Labels: Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Philadelphia Catholic Outsider: St. John Neumann on Who's in Charge of Parishes
http://philadelphiacatholicoutsider.blogspot.com/2013/07/st-john-neumann-again.html
Sunday, July 14, 2013. St John Neumann on Who's in Charge of Parishes. Some people express surprise that the bishop is in charge of the diocese and the parishes, and that "in charge" means "actually in charge." That's just true, though, and it'll be true till the end of time. I don't blame people for not knowing. I blame the people who decided that religious education classes must exclude a great deal of the Catholic Faith. Liberals don't want us to know these truths, so they are buried or ignored in rel...

Q.E.D.: The Death Cult

Thursday, July 23, 2015. Now that it has come to light that not only does Planned Parenthood sell abortions, they sell body parts, the morally deficient among us are either ignoring the revelations or making banal excuses for the eugenic organization. Has Citizen Kane (i.e.- Donald Trump), who we are all told is so conservative, so much as mentioned this disgusting practice? I know that Atlantic. Of CNN, or does Sally Kohn actually believe such an outrageous claim? It was something of a scandal a few yea...
