    Religion is faux intellectual, couching their bestial, primitive superstition as being supported by learned men and intensive study.

    When the Catholic Church, in a canonization process, is trying to determine whether a person has died a martyr, one important criterion is that the person was killed in "odium fidei", out of hatred of the faith. Anonymous, I am not suggesting that you would kill a believer, but your dispositions toward faith qualify not only as lack of faith but also as "odium fidei".
    We believers cannot make you respect us, but we can refuse to be treated with disrespect.

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.
