QUOTE II: “I think that someday historians will look back upon our age of divorce, abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, and war and say, ‘at least they didn’t smoke.’” Dr. John Chalburg
IN OTHER NEWS:
The first meeting of the Saint Sebastian Chesterton Society was last night (Easter Monday) and we had a play and discussion with Dr. John Chalburg her performed Chesterton for us. It was an intimate crowd but many friends showed:
Founders of the St. Sebastian Chesterton Society (Akron), Fr. Valencheck and Matt Wyzinski with G. K. Chesterton (Chuck Chalburg)
Visiting Chestertonians Ellen Finan of the Warren C. S. (who helped us put on the Hilaire Belloc play last year), Sue Morton of the North Pinellas C.S. (Florida), and Vickie Darkey of the Western PA C. S. Thank you for coming! Hope to see you again in the future.
IN STILL OTHER NEWS:
C. K. Sent this interesting link in. Neal McDonough is a Catholic actor who was recently fired for refusing to do a sex scene. Here is the story.
C. R. sent this in: "Father, You have likely heard of this but I just did this weekend. This is a new opera by Marcos Galvany. I did some research and it seems to be a work of reverence honoring the life of Christ and Mary. It premiers at Carnegie Hall Saturday 4/10." Here is a link to the video.
Oh! That's all there is time for!
N. B. - There is a very good likelihood that there will be no post on Easter Wednesday. If that is the case know that I will be back Thursday. God bless and Happy Easter!

Regarding Neal McDonagh's refusal to compromise his principles--godd for him (and his wife). In the late 1950s or early 1960s, teen idol of the day, Pat Boone, would not kiss Shirley Jones in the final scene of the film "State Fair" because he did was married. The studio complied (I don't recall how they shot the scene.) More recently, in the movie "Fireproof," Kirk Cameron would not kiss the actress who played his wife in the film. They brought in his real wife for him to kiss, and filmed the scene in a way that obscured her from view. But "Fireproof" was made by a Christian film production company.
Oops! I meant "good for him"!!
