You gotta love the man. Barry W. Lynn, the indefatigable director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, explains, on abortion provisions in the health-care bill , that there’s “a visceral sense that this [Catholic lobbying] went way over the line—even if as a technical matter, it didn’t violate the law.” Well, yes, way over the line in the visceral sense—except, of course, that it didn’t cross the line, in the, you know, literal sense.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
