This blog began as a project for an adolescent lit class during my 6th year of college. Now, it's basically an outlet for my zeal (Jer 20:9), be it literary or theological, for the Truth. I'm unabashedly, intellectually, rhetorically, and in all other ways, Catholic. I do my absolute best to live in full sacramental communion with the authority of the Magisterium. I read Canon Law and the Catechism for fun. If, for any reason, you discover doctrinal errors in these entries, kindly note that I have not obtained a Nihil Obstat or Imprimatur. Chalk it up to human error and please correct me (Proverbs 9). However, if it's simply a difference of opinion, swallow your pride and let me have my say. Although I do have an English degree, you have my leave to completely ignore my obstinacy toward proper syntax. IF you should ever happen to find out my employer, this blog is in no way endorsed by said company, nor do the statements made on the page represent that company.
