Another day of double-offering in “On the Square”. First we have R. R. Reno’s regular article, this one titled Love Rather Than Theory and dealing with the difference between thinking things through and what the modern intellectual does. “The intellectual is an intellectual because . . . he has a formula by which to answer the important questions, and all from the comfort of is study in, well, wherever.”
Second is Ronald Rychlak and William Doino’s Pius XII and the Distorting Ellipsis , in which they defend the pope from yet another charge, this one that he said something against Jews just a year before he became pope. He didn’t, and shouldn’t have been accused of doing so, as they show.
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.
