Any Holmesians out there? I’m watching the Douglas Wilmer adaptation of RETI—it’s quite good, and I’m surprised this story (far from one of Doyle’s best, but good material to expand on) isn’t adapted more.

On the day after the murderous attack on Jews in Sydney, the opening verses of Psalm 76 at Matins are a powerful reminder of Christianity's debt to Judaism and the need to refute contemporary expressions of the Marcionite heresy.

There was a man dwelt by a churchyard. Whenever winter whitened the view from his window, he found himself watchful of his grave neighbors, above all on those nights when the moonlight was as cold as the wind, when they awoke, not merry, and sought warmth.

Prayer life, in a nutshell.
“Now seeds,” said Toad, “start growing.”
Toad walked up and down a few times. The seeds did not start to grow.

At Christmastime he would look out
His window grave above the greyest,
With thanks that he was in and they without,
Especially when they would walk about.

Seeing this post now reminds me that 𝑇𝘩𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔𝘩 𝑎 𝐺𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠, 𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑙𝑦 has that Christmas ghost story feeling, though I don’t think it’s set in the season. Has anyone here read McCloy’s actually wintry mystery, 𝑀𝑟. 𝑆𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡? I’ve never found a copy of that one.
It’s a pity that Hitchcock never made a film adaptation of any book by Helen McCloy. They shared so many themes (doppelgängers galore). And why hasn’t anyone made a film from McCloy’s excellent, spooky *Through a Glass, Darkly*?

Some years ago, my cousin—who is spookily perceptive about me—out of the blue asked me if I wanted to be a priest. I was going through my first religious phase at the time and said yes, I do, but I can’t because I also would like to get married.

WATCH: Stephen Colbert, Lifelong Catholic, on Hearing a Female Priest Celebrate the Eucharist
Much like Pope Francis, the great love Stephen Colbert has for the Catholic Church does not preclude a thoughtful, creative examination of Catholic tradition.
