Bishop Sorondo, Or, How to Argue like a 3-Year-Old
Occasionally my wife and I get sucked into an argument with our three-year-old daughter. It... it is never worthwhile.

A few years ago I took my family to Candlemas at the traditional Latin Mass. It was the first time in my life that I started, even in an infinitesimal way, to grasp the significance of this feast. A trite yet necessary statement: the focus
