I can still remember waking up the morning of September 7th 2020 to the wildfires in LA County, colouring the sun a deep and painful red. It's definitely not as bad as that here in Aberdeenshire, but seeing the light with a sickly orange hue to it was not what I was expecting when I woke up today 💔

Widely regarded as one of the most significant works of contemporary American fiction, Cormac McCarthy’s *Blood Meridian* is a brutal, unforgettable novel set along the U.S.–Mexico border in the mid-19th century. Join us next month as we discuss McCarthy's masterpiece with Dr. Brian Brock!

When I first left atheism behind, the biblical refrain to "fear God" was unsettling since why would we fear one who is love? In this age of Lidl-brand Caesars who think they can wage war with impunity, it has come to be among the easiest injunctions to understand in all of the Scriptures.

I had heard that you can just make up a phrase, put it in inverted commas and add "meaning" to the query and Google "AI" will fantasize a definition and an entire cultural context. Vonnegut could not dream up shit and self-defeating as this.

Google's imagined response to a bland idiom I made up - "the wren gets the last word" - which involves a definition, a cultural context, and a note about the symbolic representation of a phrase that does not exist in Hiberno-English.

Pope Francis wasn’t a “liberal.” His papacy can’t be understood with the liberal/conservative frame. He was pastoral in the model of a Jesuit spiritual director. The point of Christianity is a personal encounter with God in Jesus.
