Somehow, seeing Commonweal on Tumblr gives me the same odd feeling as when I found out that my grandmother had joined Facebook.
Are you, perhaps, an old geezer like me? Dude! Second-childhood! I’m all for more than a belief in miracles but, hey, while we’re here we do have the opportunity to convince ourselves we have a bit more control. You know, genuinely well intended illusions.
Jo McGowan’s article is as good as it gets concerning sex and contraception. She really nails as she sees the bishops and priests as adolescent in this area. Wow.

Dan Barry’s article is priceless though one comes away from it chastened and sad to say the least.
