A continued, blessed Easter Octave to all our readers. Christus surrexit vere, alleluia! Tal Bachman has a succinct summary of how we got from there to here, well worth a glance. I was struck by his getting the Thomistic principle that we humans are all religious by nature – and much, indeed everything, depends upon[…]
