Bramwell. It was Judge -- not Justice -- Bork who was nominated to the Supreme Court (and denied a seat thereon): Justice Bork is what Judge Bork didn't become. The nit is worth making, I think, because, interestingly, the Constitution itself speaks (in Art. III, sec. 1 and Art. II, sec. 2, cl. 2) of "Judges," even specifically of "Judges of the supreme Court."

I've found that "learning" in all matters human, consists of much review, pondering and deliberating with careful discernment...all things experiential--mentally, physically and spiritually. I feel our "fast-form" ways with fashion and "entitlements" and political popularity, pleasures and daring aplomb...might be overwhelming to the profound depth of Gospel meanings and truths. Am I correct in thinking that, after information concerning the "Father" and the "Kingdom of Heaven," the most talked about message of Jesus was "hypocrisy?"

Bramwell, Great article. I mean this in the most complimentary sense: I can't believe you made it through Boston College without being tossed out. After all, how could the largely dissident-Catholic faculty at B.C. tolerate your obviously genuine Catholic approach: "Now what the Church teaches is true. It is that simple. " That counts as "heresy" at Boston College. - James Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:03:00 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/not-trusting-grace.html#comment-4699 the answer of course is yes but you never answer the "why" - isn't this our favorite failure - consequentialism - Bob M Wed, 18 Aug 2010 03:24:37 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2010/not-trusting-grace.html#comment-4698 And doesn't trusting in God's grace and truth mean not keeping individual institutions (parishes, schools, religious orders, social services, etc.) functioning as long as they have a Catholic veneer while not caring or knowing how to maintain a "deeply" Catholic identity? When will our bishops make the word "Catholic" mean something, especially when an institution dares to use it to describe itself? - Anonymous Wed, 18 Aug 2010 02:44:13 +0100
