    Charles Colson was a religious bully who styled himself a minister of the Gospel, a thug in the Marine Corps, pretending to false patriotism and one of the worst criminals in the Nixon White house of the Watergate era. He is notorious and reviled by all but the most reactionary and repressive elements of society.

    Tim Moyle and George Weigel think he was a grand fellow. Now there's a surprise!

  2. Anon: Actually, we believe in the power of conversion: 'metanoia'. Mr. Colson was an excellent example of that grace. You, on the other hand are offering the opposite grace with your comment: paranoia.

    Chuck Colson is in better shape than you.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
