The two comments prompt me to remove the posting. I think it was a fair satirical remark on a disgruntled theologian who has written with contempt for good and serious men, like popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, but it may have been more mean than satirical. Even if it wasn’t, I have to admit my own motives were not pure in posting it.
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.
