- The utility of uselessnessIn a comment below, Cheryl Tyiska writes:Would it be wrong to say that "mercy" first and foremost is a matter of me being and acting the way I believe I should be and act because it is the Christ-like way to be and act, and then only secondarily considering whether my mercy toward another is good for them? For example, would my mercy toward them be "useless" if it didn't necessarily result in remorse and repentance? I don't think so.Well, mercy as such is good for them, regardless of whether they obtain the good we seek for them. |

- The original scandalMark Shea, calling mercy "The Gospel's Most Scandalous Teaching," writes, "Mercy is the desire that the person's best good be achieved."Robert Diaz comments, "If mercy is the desire that the person's best good be achieved, then mercy is the very definition of love."Which is true, and which goes to show we shouldn't expect too much in the way of precision from milk-drinking popular writers.Still, mercy is an interior act of love, according to St. Thomas, a fruit of charity, according to the Catechism. |

- Reputable wordsAlbertus M comments below:I suspect there's room here for an interesting discussion of what a person should or should not say in response to an accusation, true or not. A person's reputation is worth preserving, though lying seems like a bad way to protect it.That's a question I've never thought about before. The Catechism states: |

- Well, there's a real square catI like Christmas music and I like rockabilly, so the day I learned Brian Setzer has a Christmas album is the day I bought Brian Setzer's Christmas album.It met expectations, and the song "Baby It's Cold Outside" (a duet with Ann-Margaret) was gravy. The last two songs, "O Holy Night" and "The Amens" heartfully sung, were icing on the gravy.Today I find (via Relapsed Catholic) an interview with Brian Setzer in which he admits he's Catholic.Now, we all know being Catholic doesn't necessarily mean too much, perhaps especially among performers. |

- Immigrant shepherd and shepherd of immigrants, pray for us!Today is the feast of St. John Nepomucene Neumann, fourth bishop of Philadelphia and patron saint of short Central Europeans who travel a lot. Of the 1,927 men who have been ordained bishops for dioceses in the United States (a number I made up just now, so don't quote it), St. John is the only one to have been canonized a saint. |

- a friend recently told me that the reason why cartalk has had more than their fair share of reruns of late is because half of the radio duo, tom magliozzi, had a serious heart condition emerge over the summer, and although he was getting better slowly that he was "close to death at the time". i figured that surely this must surely be a public radio urban legend, since the news would be known far and wide with adoring masses showing their support. not so, the friend told me, since npr and ca... |

- " Je jette un coup d'oeil par dessus mon paule Quelqu'un me suit, quelqu'un me frle Je crois bien l'avoir vu quelque part Avec son air qui me donne le cafard Je presse le pas, je rentre chez moi Les escaliers semblent si froid Je referme la porte double tour On est jamais trop prudent en amour. Et soudain je me fige devant la glace Moi qui ai toujours cru vivre seule Je vois comme une trangre ma place Et mon coeur en prend plein la gueule. Toujours a. Cette sensation d'tre ct de soi, de se faire suivre par un tre obscur. On presse le pas, on s'enferme, surtout se fermer tout toujours. |
