For your review

It's nigh on 11PM, and I don't really have the motivation to write any thoughts of my own down here so instead I'm just going to post the articles I'm thinking of and see if anyone has any thoughts:

First, A girl grows up prostestant, but wants her Morrissey, too. Goes to New York and converts to Catholicism. 

[btw, I'm no relation to Carlene Bauer, so far as I'm aware]

Secondly, Bill McClellan tells of an OMI (that's the order of priests that runs Our Lady of the Snows over in Belleville) who's off to beat on nuclear missle silos with a sledgehammer, as if that will somehow do.... something.

Also, what exactly IS a "plowshare" anyway? Is it somehow different from just a plain ol' "plow"?

For the record, these both came across my radar today pretty independently as I was generally internettin' around. I don't intend to hijack my third of this blog to be "D. Mike's mouthpiece to the world for why Roman Catholicism is right and everybody else is wrong." I'm sure my thoughts will branch out as we go forward.
