ALKING INTO Ingles last Sunday with Fr Brent, we were discussing the way that some people (the present author included) worry that loosening the grip on one part of traditional Christianity - eg sex - can lead to a loosening of the grip on other parts. I was adamant about that for a while [...]

TREET Prophets, today, has one of those annoying stories about the Catholic League of One, the kind that makes you realise why there are so few Christians left in the world.
