There is a prejudice in modern SF so nearly ubiquitous that it can be considered a trope. I’m talking about the assumption that the more technologically advanced a civilization becomes, the less religious it will be. While this prejudice is normally implicit in a lot of science fiction, the assumption was stated explicitly not too … Continue reading Galactic Christendom: A Short History

Our Lady of Victory

A Lame Duck Papacy?
Pope Francis' Latest Quip likening himself to the devil is an interesting one considering he has very recently insinuated that it is his detractors who are The Great Accuser.

In a classic case of the fish rotting from the head down, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano implicates the Holy Father in the Cardinal McCarrick cover-up. As one might expect, this has led to a chorus of Catholics calling for Pope Francis' Resignation. On his way home from Ireland, the Pope refused comment on the matter directly. Instead, the … Continue reading House of God Cleaning

"The Catholic Church is an institution I am bound to hold divine - but for unbelievers a proof of its divinity may be found in the fact that no merely human institution conducted with such knavish imbecility would have lasted a fortnight." ---Hilaire Belloc
