You should read this article on secession by Eric Sammons . I don’t think he goes far enough, but it’s a sign of the times that ‘reasonable’ people talk openly about a subject that heretofore only us extremists advocated.
The Huron Carol – The Oldest Carol of The Americas
Timothy Flanders writes, “The OLDEST Carol of the Americas!
Written by a great saint and martyr for the faith, St. Jean, the glory of the Americas, who won his crown in glorious combat.
In my view, the best-recorded version in Huron/French/English:”

Don’t let Social Media Send You To Hell
A great article by Timothy Flanders :
“Social media works by giving consolations and then creating attachments to these consolations through “likes,” “retweets,” and “followers.” This may seem unbelievable, but try paying attention to how you feel when you receive these throughout the day. Try putting your phone down for an entire day and see if you feel an urge to pick it up again to check for notifications. Most people feel an urge to pick up their phone and check within seconds of having any free time.”

Getting Work Right – Michael J. Naughton
An attorney friend of mine just finished “Getting Work Right” and highly recommends it. Here’s a review by another reader of this book:
“This is a short book (171 pages), and relatively easy to read and understand. It examines really important questions for most people, whether we know it or not. Author Michael Naughton is both a professor who examines questions related to work and who is also a board chair of a business firm. So this book is not just academic thought considered in the abstract but is grounded in the daily work world. This is a helpful combination to have when reflecting on work and how it can be more meaningful.
The author looks at issues such as the challenge of integrity in our lives, the purpose of business, what makes good work, good goods, and good wealth. He also considers how our work lives are related to our need for leisure, and what makes good leisure. These are issues that touch upon every working person, but likely not considered by many.
This book is deeply rooted in the Catholic worldview, which offers much that can enrich life and make it worth living….. This book has given me a much deeper understanding and appreciation of work than I had before reading it. “
